Trump to inflict more damage to US, world if wins second term
US President Donald Trump has committed a variety of crimes that could result in his removal from office, says a political commentator.
Richard Becker, West Coast Coordinator of the ANSWER Coalition told Press TV’s The Debate program on Thursday that “there is a lot of criminality coming from the Trump administration…and they are going to do more damage if they get a second term.”
“Trump is racist, anti-environment, anti-women…, everything that you can think of, he said, “But instead of addressing those issues….we have [House Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and the Democrats going after him on the basis that he is not doing enough to defend national.”
He went on to say that inside the United States “there are millions of people who are food insecure, there is an epidemic of homelessness in the richest country in the world.”
Becker further touched on the issue of “a vicious form of foreign policy,” that the Trump administration has practiced “against Iran, against Venezuela and against Cuba.”
“The United States has recognized a government that took over in a coup. The US has intervened in Venezuela to recognize a guy who just proclaimed himself president,” Becker said.
“So there is all of these things are going on and…I don’t think paraphrase: the impeachment inquiry really impacts a great majority of people in this country,” he concluded.
But political commentator, Malik Abdul, who also participated in the Debate, said that Trump’s impeachment is “definitely going to happen in the House”
“Democrats are definitely going to impeach the president in the House, but when it goes to Senate, it will die.”
“The President of the United States did not do anything toward an impeachment of him while he is in office,” he said.
Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry in September after a whistleblower alleged the Republican president pressured Ukraine to investigate his main Democratic rival, former US Vice President, Joe Biden.
That request by Trump, and accusations he conditioned nearly $400 million in military aid to Ukraine on the political favor, form the basis of the impeachment inquiry that now threatens his presidency.
House Democrats say Trump has abused his office for personal gain, and jeopardized national security, by asking Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky to investigate Biden and his son, Hunter, who had served as a director for Ukrainian energy company, Burisma.
If Trump is impeached, a Senate trial would follow, possibly early next year, with a two-thirds majority vote required to remove the president from office.
