President Donald Trump arrives with Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Attorney General William Barr to speak about the census in the Rose Garden at the White House in Washington, Thursday, July 11, 2019.
But perhaps it’s not hard when you see how uninformed many are as to even the basic concepts of civics and the impeachment process. When you’re getting all your news from places that are continually pushing the Democratic narrative like CNN and MSNBC, it’s likely that you’re only going to see what they tell you.
It might be difficult to believe after weeks of talk about impeachment that there are people who still don’t understand the process, but on Twitter last night, “#ByeTrump” was trending because many believed that the House vote on impeachment meant that President Donald Trump was now removed.
Some had to be schooled then today when they found out to their surprise that lo and behold, Trump was still president and that no, being impeached is not the same thing as removal.
I expected this moment but I expected to be more joyful. Maybe jump up & do a happy dance. Maybe.
But I’m just sad and heartbroken. What he’s left behind can’t be erased with this vote.
The bigotry and xenophobia he’s emboldened. The lies.
It will take generations to recover.

That’s not how any of this works and Democrats are doing a great job helping him get re-elected.
Here’s an alleged teacher:
When Trump was elected president, I stood in a classroom in S. Korea. My 1st-grade students watched with me in horror and voiced their deep concern. Today is a new day, and a new hope#byetrump #TrumpImpeachment

Someone want to tell her?
“Bye” “He’s Gone” Yikes! Looks like some people need to look up what impeachment really means. Because when they wake up tomorrow and Donald Trump is still president, they’re gonna be pretty confused!#impeachmentproblems
