They are immediately laying the groundwork that can censure and never allow our GEOTUS to ever hold public office. Please, tell me I am wrong about this. I am concerned still. Xo 😘🇺🇸🦅🦅🇺🇸✝️

Nobody really knows what his next moves are, he’s always been a very strategic and pragmatic person.

In regards to censuring him from running, nobody really knows. There are some legal talks about possibly using a small section of the 14th Amendment to disbar him from running for an elected office, however the legal procedure of this isn’t clear. Most legal scholars agree that this can only be done if the person in question is actively convicted by the Senate and impeached in the House, which Trump is not. However, there are some arguments that are being made that could possibly allow a simple majority vote in both chambers that would disbar Trump from running again, but again this is a very big legal stretch and dangerous precedent to set.

I personally think that Trump will be fine and McConnell is just trying to save face to get GOP donors back. Many GOP donors declared that they won’t be funding GOP campaigns anymore and even though they acquitted him, they still want to make it clear to the donors that they aren’t on Trump’s side. McConnell wants to get rid of Trump’s influence completely and wants to bring back the neocon era of the GOP (Bush, Romney, McCain, Rumsfeld, etc.)

Thank you for this pragmatic and “insightful” response; appreciated, Brother.
