Trump Asks: ‘Impeached For What?’ Twitter Users Reply With Plenty Of Options.
President Donald Trump fired off a midnight tweet griping about the impeachment inquiry launched by the House.
The proceedings were prompted by his phone call asking Ukraine for dirt on potential 2020 presidential rival Joe Biden. But if Trump knows that’s the reason for the impeachment probe, he didn’t let it show.
Instead, he ticked off a list of supposed accomplishments:
Impeached for what, having created the greatest Economy in the history of our Country, building our strongest ever Military, Cutting Taxes too much? https://t.co/LWxfEcRmj4

Trump’s critics were quick to reply with some reminders as to why he was the subject of an impeachment inquiry. And they didn’t hold back:
No it’s for the crimes.

Impeached for asking the Ukrainian President to talk to your Attorney General to criminally investigate your political rival before an election like a brutal, third world dictator persecuting his political enemies.

Extortion....

For selling out the country for personal gain I think.

No, just for the crimes. By the way, do you realize our soldiers that left the battlefield in Syria will have to live with the memory of betraying allies for the rest of their lives? Dark days ahead.

Actually, it was the high crimes and misdemeanors part

No, for welcoming foreign interference in an election.
Bringing about genocide and using the office to enrich yourself are in the queue.
And if we ever find out what you promised Putin, put that at the top of the list.— JRehling (@JRehling) October 10, 2019
no it's the illegal stuff

Thank God there's nothing serious going on in the world so you can tweet-cry all night.
