While he pretends not to be worried about having been impeached, it&#8217;s practically the only thing he is paying any attention to. It&#8217;s an obsession that is gnawing at him to the exclusion of everything else. And his Twitter tantrum is evidence of just how haunted he is by this permanent stain on his legacy. He began on Christmas day by tweeting that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8230;&amp; overwhelming,\u201d but this Scam Impeachment was neither. Also, very unfair with no Due Process, proper representation, or witnesses. Now Pelosi is demanding everything the Republicans weren\u2019t allowed to have in the House. Dems want to run majority Republican Senate. Hypocrites!<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump\/status\/1210035580140175361?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 26, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot to unpack in that brief tirade. On the same day that Trump released an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FLOTUS\/status\/1209836442811277313\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">eerily morose Christmas message<\/a><\/strong> that called for <em>&#8220;deeper understanding and respect,&#8221;<\/em> he&#8217;s posting insults to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, calling her <em>&#8220;crazy.&#8221;<\/em> And he is also exhibiting his painfully weak grasp of the Constitution that unambiguously grants the House of Representatives the <em>&#8220;sole power to impeach.&#8221;<\/em> What&#8217;s more, he doesn&#8217;t understand that a majority of any size gives that party parliamentary control. Even so, a 34 seat majority is not <em>&#8220;slight.&#8221;<\/em> And he has apparently forgotten that the Republican majority in the Senate is only four seats.<\/p>\n<p>Trump goes on to dismiss the impeachment because no Republicans voted for it. But that only reinforces the fact that the GOP acts as a monolithic and partisan unit that doesn&#8217;t care about the truth. Which puts them in alignment with Trump who then <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=43256\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">proceeds to lie<\/a><\/strong> about his allegedly <em>&#8220;perfect,&#8221; &#8220;no pressure&#8221;<\/em> phone call with the president of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>From there Trump wanders off into a diatribe about <em>&#8220;due process,&#8221;<\/em> which is only relevant in a court of law. Nevertheless, Trump did have the opportunity to appear in his own defense and to have his attorneys plead his case. It was not disallowed. He declined. Now Trump is refusing to allow witnesses and documents in the Senate hearing that he has whined about not having in the House.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cLook, the House is supposed to do all of this work on witnesses and documents BEFORE they send the articles over to the Senate, not to call in new witnesses, go through new documents &#8211; that work is supposed to be done in the House.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KatiePavlich?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@KatiePavlich<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/foxandfriends?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@foxandfriends<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J.

What Trump is complaining about here is that the testimony that he actively obstructed wasn&#8217;t made available. Maybe he should stop obstructing it. Maybe he should also stop pretending that Democrats want to slow down the process, as he says in his next tweet. It&#8217;s Trump and the GOP who are gumming up the works by refusing to set the terms for the Senate hearing.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, Trump acts out in his typically infantile way with a multi-tweet attack on Pelosi and the district she represents in California. Just like he has done previously with Baltimore, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and others, he maligns them for problems that exist in all cities. But he blames Pelosi as somehow being responsible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LATE ADDITION:<\/strong> Trump tweeted&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I guess Justin T doesn\u2019t much like my making him pay up on NATO or Trade! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sndS7YvIGR\">https:\/\/t.co\/sndS7YvIGR<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Donald J.

Never mind that this edit was <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ddale8\/status\/1210354765466624000\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">actually made five years ago<\/a><\/strong>, before Trump was even a candidate. The reason Trump believes that Trudeau is responsible is because it&#8217;s what he would do in similar circumstances. Trump thinks that national leadership includes the power to exact petty vengeances on your enemies. In fact, he has even exercised that corrupt power by <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/12\/9\/21002725\/amazon-trump-jedi-contract-rules-court-documents-microsoft-pentagon\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">redirecting a federal contract<\/a><\/strong> from Amazon (because Jeff Bezos also owns the Washington Post), to Microsoft. Which is blatantly illegal.<\/p>\n<p>There is simply no denying that Trump is terrified and desperate. The whole of his attention is on the impeachment and what he considers unfair treatment. And it manifests in these furious Twitter rampages that only make him look even more deranged. So it&#8217;s not surprising that public support for his impeachment and removal from office has <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/public-support-trump-conviction-time-091925963.html\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">hit a new high<\/a><\/strong>.
