Trump's recent tweet quoting a longtime evangelical pastor who warned of a "Civil War" if Democrats seriously pursue removing him from office could actually be grounds for impeachment, one Harvard Law professor said.
"If the Democrats are successful in removing the President from office (which they will never be), it will cause a Civil War like fracture in this Nation from which our Country will never heal," Trump tweeted on Sunday night.
The tweet was a quote from Robert Jeffress, a Southern Baptist pastor who gave the comment during an appearance on Fox & Friends Weekend. Trump added his own parenthetical aside to Jeffress' quote, in which the president asserted that Congress won't be successful in their impeachment efforts. https://www.newsweek.com/trump-civil-wa ... ?piano_t=1

Stating an opinion is NOT grounds for impeachment. Otherwise every single President in the history of EVER should have been impeached. Good grief.

Threatening the majority of the country because you broke the law doesn't seem like a great strategy but what do I know I'm not a lawyer.

He would prefer a civil war to getting impeached...
Which means, he would prefer the death of Americans to leaving office.

Can we just be clear he didn't actually threaten a civil war?
Of all the things he should be impeached for, this isn't it.

People are so desperate to impeach him they are reaching for straws.
