Why America will soon impeach Trump, the accidental president

Whether you like the United States, or not, it’s one country a lot of people in the world look up to for leadership. I know that’s a loaded statement that many hypocrites loathe to admit, but it’s fact. Some people revile America while others love it. Part of the philia lies in America as a land of possibility, a country where Barack Obama – a Kenyan of Luo descend – could become President of the most powerful nation on earth. But part of the phobia lies in America might, racism, and its arrogance. Question – how can such a great country elect Donald Trump – a complete moron – as President? Answer – because it can also impeach him. And it will impeach him.

This is why. First, America likes to try new things. Don’t tell an American that something can’t be done. It’s a can-do nation. That’s part of the country’s national psyche. But there’s a difference between thoughtful wishing and wishful thinking. The latter is pie in the sky. The former is pragmatic. Most Americans are pragmatic. That’s why if something doesn’t work, they will change course. Simply put, Mr Trump hasn’t worked out. The man is an accidental president who sneaked in through the backdoor. As Winston Churchill opined, “democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.” It doesn’t always work, but it usually corrects itself. That’s why a correction is coming with a Trump heave-ho.
