Donald Trump makes history again.
Sure, you’ve heard the news: On Wednesday, he became the only president in history to be impeached twice, but the larger takeway is much more historic. And much more stark:
He became the first president in history to be impeached for “incitement of insurrection” against the United States. In other words, he became the first president in history to be impeached for betraying his own country.
As one of the 10 Republicans to vote for his impeachment, Liz Cheney called what Trump did the “greatest betrayal” of a U.S. president ever. And Cheney is not just any Republican. She’s the third-ranking leader in the House of Representatives and the daughter of two-term vice president Dick Cheney who served from 2001 to 2009 under George W. Bush.
Once again Trump – the guy who must have all the superlatives like “greatest” and “most” in history, “huuge”, “beautiful” – just got another “biggly” added to his long, long disdainful list of adjectives.
