We are now seeing increasing numbers of Republicans to call on the president to resign. This seems like it's a tailor made moment for that to happen. We saw with Richard Nixon. You have to go once the Impeachment Resolution is past. We're heading towards that moment or is this just a completely different time? There is no one who Trump listens to. Nixon at least listened to Jim Baker. Trump is fundamentally different than Richard Nixon. In his farewell address in 1974 Richard Nixon said, " I'm not a quitter but I have to put the country first." That is not fundamentally who Donald Trump is or else we would've had January 6th.
He cited an Insurrection against the Legislative Branch. Mind you our Declaration of Independence was to overthrow a tyrant who incited a domestic insurrection amongst us, is what it said. Our entire Constitution is built to prevent tyranny from the Executive Branch against our seat of government. Therefore, this is an impeachable offense. I don't know what is if the President tells folks to attack our lawmakers and that is exactly what he did do.
but the idea that Donald Trump at this point will be convinced to resign by anyone in the Republican Party is a pipe dream since Trump never ever admits to any wrongdoing. He was the one telling folks in that crowd to go after his own Vice President. He continued to do so as his Vice President was in danger in the Capital as they chanted, " Hang Mike Pence!". it is disgusting but I don't think this President is doing well.
Richard Nixon did the right thing and resigned which is somewhat funny because we consider Richard Nixon to be most likely the worst president of the 20th century. Donald Trump is making Richard Nixon look like a statesman compared to al the disgusting things Trump has been involved in.
