Now let's say that this Press War gets far worse, does not calm down..Then, maybe impeachment!!!

Going after freedom of the press, is an easy to understand reason to impeach and convict..

Let's say Trump calms down, and let's this go in a few days. And acts rational..not exactly an apology, but somehow gives the impression that he went off, and is sorry...(he doesn't have to say it, but gives that impression)..ok that might happen.............and things quiet down............or...

Trump doubles down on his anger with the press, after his son is indicted in the next few days..So he goes off again, in a similar manner. Like he lost his marbles..and couldn't get them back..Worse the 2nd time...in a day or two, in front of the entire country...proof that impeachment is needed with conviction.

Maybe it will get better, and maybe it will get worse...What a show...

I think you are correct..It would take a very smart person to see how important it is to calm down. Stuart G Nov 2018 #2

Impeachment could conceivably pass the House. This Senate will never remove him from office Recursion Nov 2018 #3
I don't think so..I think the impeachment process itself in the house will destroy him. Stuart G Nov 2018 #4

Trump is much too angry to see the truth. Plus, if his son is indicted in the next few days..it really could get much worse as he goes off to protect his son...

Buys their ink by the barrel.

Trump will lose. And the press will have to disguise their glee carefully when they report it.

And a "vindication" in the Senate leaves him more powerful than he is now.
