A CASE FOR IMPEACHMENT

By Ruth A. Sheets

Cheating and lying are wrong no matter who does it and when the president does it, it is especially BAD.  That person has taken an oath of office that requires them to stand with and for our Constitution.  in addition, they hold a high office, so people look to them as a model for integrity on behalf of this nation. 

Donald Trump has not been a positive example for this nation since the first minute after he swore that oath the first time.  He lied about the size of the crowd who attended.  That should have let everyone know just who he is and what to expect. 

He has not improved with time, in fact he has done far more to damage this country and

with the help of his Project 2025ers, the DOGErs and his white house toddler pool, has put many people's lives at risk here and around the world. 

• He planned and ordered an insurrection, and now is trying to, with the help of Acting Attorney General Blanche and the Sec. of Treasure Bessent, to steal nearly $2 billion from taxpayers to pay off the insurrectionists, keeping them on board so they can potentially commit another insurrection, and who knows who will be harmed or killed this time! 
• sued the IRS, the nation for a bogus release of his tax return which should have been released by himself as he promised;
• Trump has been convicted on 34 counts in a court of law, has been found to be an adjudicated rapist and defamer,  stole classified documents, and somehow just somehow, managed to be re-elected?
• Trump lies about nearly everything with little to no thought. 
• He damaged the white house that he doesn't own but thinks he does, then wrecked the DC Reflecting Pool, puts his name or image on many buildings around the city as though he owns them; he doesn’t. 
• He released an unelected, unapproved group of young computer geeks under the command of Elon Musk on the various departments of our government, stealing personal information and probably classified documents, firing people they knew nothing about and without cause, and closed agencies that were doing critical work around the world (UsAID) that puts the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, SOMETIMES including Americans at risk of serious disease, EVEN STARVATION.
• He started an illegal war with Iran for nothing but his own ego and put Americans' and Iranians' lives at risk for nothing.  His excuse changes regularly as do the reports of an end of the war coming soon, WELL, IF Israel cooperates.
• He attacks the press when they report on his bad behavior and that of his minions.
• He allows media monopolies by billionaires as long as they do not permit their platform to criticize him.  This includes getting some of the press fired, and calling any who don't agree with his foolish and harmful pronouncements "enemies of the people," which they are not. 
• Trump has set the FBI and other Dept. of Justice entities to raid the offices of voter registration groups and journalists for no recognizable reason.
• He nominated utterly incompetent people for every office for which he can make nominations, then threatened Republican senators that they must vote for them “or else.”  This includes nominees for Federal judgeships.

 

In short, I want members of Congress to introduce Articles of Impeachment against President Donald Trump.  They are long in coming.  A lot of people have been harmed because it has taken so long.  In addition, Trump has dementia and other serious medical problems that make him unfit for office. 

We witnessed on Sunday, June 7, 2026, an anger breakdown by Trump because he lost control of an interview with Kristen Welker and couldn't figure out what to do.  Trump’s dementia probably added to the childish angry behavior he exhibited.  He stood up, threw the microphone down, stomped on it, then walked off the set.

As you know, among other things, last month, the Trump administration "settled" a $10 billion frivolous lawsuit filed by Trump against his own IRS.  His acting A.G. Blanche put together a “deal” that creates a $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" using American taxpayer dollars, designed to enrich him and court and support the January 6th insurrectionists who are traitors to this nation.  The “deal” they worked out, Of course because of its illegal nature, means this fund has no public disclosure requirements, no Congressional oversight, and is expected to pay out to Trump’s political allies (his white house toddler pool), and himself.  Some of the January 6^th insurrectionists are already contacting lawyers to file claims.  Yes, we should be paying traitors to this nation. No one who cares about this nation should approve of that and if they do, should be removed from office.    Just considering giving a huge amount of money to traitors is a kind of treason too.

 

As if that were not enough, as part of that “deal” the US IRS would be declared "forever barred and precluded" from auditing the President, his family members, or any of his businesses for all tax filings made prior to May 19, 2026 (one wonders if that is the date after completion of some kind of family theft from the IRS). Despite Trump thinking he is king or god or whatever, he is not entitled to anything like that ban on being audited.  We know he has failed to pay taxes in the past and probably his family has too.  That is giving a criminal a free pass to break the law whenever he wishes, and Trump and his crew have a lot of wishes! 

 

Trump needs Congress to impeach and convict him.  Then he can go home to Florida and play golf all day until his administration is gone and he can be held accountable unless his dementia has totally taken his mind the rest of the way to incomprehension.

 

This is not a partisan disagreement about policy. This is the President of the United States using the machinery of government to enrich himself, shield himself from legal accountability, and reward those who were willing to attack our democracy on his behalf. The Constitution provides Congress with the tools to respond to exactly this kind of conduct. I urge you to use them. 

 

Now we need to see Congress acting like the adults in the room, even the Republicans and stop this insanity, this destruction.

 

We the People need you to introduce Articles of Impeachment against President Donald Trump.  Then we need the Senate to act like adults and convict him of the many crimes he and his toddler pool have committed since taking office, and that includes those done with Musk and Theil.  Just because they are not in DC anymore does not mean they are not still messing with our nation's regulations, laws, and doing harm to the people who live here, you know, like stealing private information, messing with Social Security files, cutting US AID with permission from no one but Donald Trump, when Congress should have been involved.  We the people, including Congress, deserve better and demand that Congress gives that “better” to We the People of the United States.
