While you're focused on petty things, he's been actually doing things via executive order and even CNN was raving about military successes.

Illegal immigration is way down. Unemployment is down and wages are up. The deficit, so far, is way down. He's started about six less wars than his predecessor did in his first 6 months. The trade deficits are shrinking.

While CNN claims he's had no legislative success, he's signed 39 Bills into law.

He's sending crime task force to Chicago. If the situation there gets better, why would the people there vote for someone else?

The real gem is the Supreme Court pick, and he's likely to get another. Kennedy is the fifth vote in the 5-4 decisions that favor liberal policies. The better news is the Court won't be legislating from the bench.
 
here's a tweet to go ape shit about.

 
A judge put the large magazine ban on hold in California
I heard about some tweet Trump did.

Kate's law Passed in the house.
I heard Trump is far from Presidential.

ISIS is about wiped out in Iraq.
I heard many heads lament Trump's embarrassing behavior.

In reality, the talking heads of the media seem to lack the depth of knowledge to speak meaningfully about Trump.
He is a sensor based, non intuitive guy, combative in nature, logical in every way, following his trail to complete his mission, with a brand of humor you ought to expect from an ESTP character.

Wow! This fellow is amazing! A master historian that can predict a happening from his intuition alone without the event ever occurring in history. No US President has been convicted on Impeachment.
Atta boy Rasta!
 
Ranking Member Cohen to Introduce Articles of Impeachment Against President Donald Trump After Comments on Charlottesville

Congressman Steve Cohen (TN-09), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice, today announced that he will be introducing articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump following the President’s comments on the horrific events in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Seems like a bit of a stretch.
 
Yeah, Trump's comments aren't an impeachable offense, just stupid and offensive.

The way it does bring him closer to impeachment is that, while they hold at least one House of Congress, Republicans have to be convinced that Trump is enough of a liability to them to outweigh losing the votes of his constituency before they'd vote in favor of pitching him overboard. Since his constituency represents 30-40% of the Republican voterbase, that's never going to be likely. But these types of comments, that make him more toxic, move him slightly in that direction.

I agree, I don't see anything impeachable... yet. If the Republicans were go to him, like they did Nixon, and pressure him to resign for the sake of the party do you think he'd actually do it?

No, he'd tweet how disloyal Republicans were being and how they were destroying the party, not him.

LAW
Robert Mueller May Not Be The Savior The Anti-Trump Internet Is Hoping For

A lot of people are counting on special counsel Robert Mueller.

...

But the online community that's fervently depending on the 73-year-old former FBI director to shake up the Trump presidency may be in for its share of disappointment.

The special counsel and his team of 16 lawyers are working under a fairly broad mandate from the Justice Department. Their task: to uncover any links and/or coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia, and to examine any other matters that might arise because of that investigation.

"Bob Mueller understands and I understand the specific scope of the investigation and so, it's not a fishing expedition," Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told Fox News Sunday earlier this month.

Three months into the job, however, it's not clear what, if anything, investigators may uncover about the president, who has repeatedly denied any improper contacts with people in Russia and has called the special counsel probe "a witch hunt."

...

Moreover, even if authorities uncover damaging information about Trump or anyone else in the White House, there are serious questions about whether that material will ever be made public, short of an indictment or impeachment.

Regulations governing the special counsel say that at the conclusion of his work, he "shall provide the Attorney General with a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions." Then, it's up to the attorney general to determine whether releasing some information would be in the public interest. (Attorney General Jeff Sessions has recused himself from the Russia investigation because of his association with the Trump campaign; Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein is overseeing the investigation.)

Another complicating factor: Mueller is using grand juries in Alexandria, Va., and Washington, D.C., and grand jury information is rarely made public.

There is little serious talk being heard in Congress about removing Trump from office.

Two House Democrats have introduced an article of impeachment alleging obstruction of justice by the president in connection with an ongoing investigation of possible ties between his 2016 campaign and Moscow.

But Republicans control the House, as well as the Senate, and the article of impeachment has gained little traction.
 
"President Donald Trump railed against the investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election Saturday night into Sunday, sending off a stream of tweets attacking the FBI, CNN, the Democratic Party, his own national security adviser, former President Barack Obama and the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee.

He did not criticize Russia, or voice concern over Vladimir Putin's attempts to undermine U.S. elections." Politico.

It sort of cracks me up (sort of), watching you GOPers rationalize and explain away this very bizarre behavior, but treason is impeachable. His oath is to "protect and defend the Constitution of the United Sates", not protect and defend himself.
