In a historic vote during Donald Trump’s impeachment trial today, the Senate voted that no extra witness will be testifying! I say “extra” because we have already heard 18 witnesses testify in the House!
This is a significant win for Trump’s legal team and the Republican Party. The vote is 51-49. The motion is not agreed to! I wish the TV would have shown Schiff and Nadler’s faces when the Chief Justice read the motion.
Trump has had to sit through months of this trial. Every day his name and reputation were drugged through the mud on the official House and Senate record. This does not make up for all the damage done, but this will allow him a victory.
The Democrats (and some turncoat Republicans) tried their hardest to take him down, but he didn’t let this stop him. During this time, he has become the most productive President in our lifetime.
In just a short time, Trump has signed USMCA, created the Space Force, stood up to Iran, created trade deals with China, and created a path to peace in the Middle East that is widely accepted with nations all over the world coming out in support. Well done, Mr. President, you stood unwavering amid chaos.
My hope to come out of this impeachment hoax is that the Republican party grows and that this has finally woken the American people. The Democrats are not the party of freedom but rather of oppression. The Democrats do not help minorities, but rather create policies to hold them back. The Democrats do not want to work for the American people but would instead siphon from the taxpayers to line their pockets.
"The motion is not agreed to."
