I'm from Korea, and we impeached our president last year, mostly because he declared martial law, but he was also a terrible president, and no one really liked him being there, even his own party.

Why can't the U.S do the same, if Donald Trump is so bad? Why are some Americans even supporting him?

"If we could just get rid of one guy all would be saved" good one

You're in U.S occupied Korea so you should know shit's fucked beyond just one guy

What's improved since you impeached a 3rd president in the last 20 years? A less outwardly corrupt president was elected?

American here.

Because Americans are stupid.

Well, enough are anyway.

This is the country that made a convicted felon and adjudicated rapist with one failed presidency under his belt our leader...again.

We did already impeach him...twice. But now Republicans are in total control (see stupid Americans comment above), so Republicans would have to impeach him this time, but they're all spineless fascists, so that isn't happening. In America impeachment is just the first step, then the Senate has to actually remove them. After the first two impeachments the spineless fascist Republicans in the Senate refused to remove him, even though it was at the very end of his first term and gave them the perfect opportunity to permanently rid themselves of him. But again, they are spineless fascists.

Why do many Americans support him? It's a combination of stupidity, ignorance, hate, and fear. Humans who don't receive a proper education or upbringing end up being easily manipulated by those things. That's the case here in America. Expect it to get a whole lot worse.

just sayin', russians had no qualms or juridical implications when they removed nicholas ii.

White Americans have yet to feel the harm. Trump's policies have hurt minorities mostly. The white farmers have been promised subsidies to offset the losses from tariffs. There's no real sense of community in the US either. People only vote for their narrow and specific self interest.

Fox News and Trump make it so that if members of Congress oppose the president they get death threats and definitely won’t be re-elected. Republicans will let Trump do anything at this point.

They cannot.

The republican party is complicit, and supports the evil he does, and more than that, he commands their supporters, so it would be political suicide for them.

Why can't the democrats? The republicans control all 4 parts of government and even if they had control over the senate, they would need 60% of the votes, a number that is unprecedented in recent times.

The votes needed for removal is actually 66%, which is even harder, but otherwise I concur.

His own party appears to like him for some reason. I doubt they really do, but they seem to think they'll lose elections if they don't grovel to him.

It's because he's nothing but a massive "yes man" and the average Nazi loves his rhetoric. Miller is the one calling the shots behind the scenes. I'm sure the actual party despises him but he's the best figurehead for their white supremacy that they've ever had, so they're putting all their weight behind him.
