Trump has been impeached (again) and musicians, comedians, and actors are having a field day with the news going off their reactions.
After the horrendous Capitol Hill riot instigated by wannabe terrorist Trump supporters on January 6th, Congress moved swiftly to impeach Trump (again) for playing a major role in stirring up his mob of MAGA followers to storm the U.S. Capitol that left five people dead.
And now as of Thursday, January 14th, we can officially say this: Donald Trump has been impeached. Again.
As per Rolling Stone, the House Of Representatives voted to impeach Trump for “incitement of insurrection” and the resolution passed by a vote of 232-197.
What this means is Trump has now become the first president to be impeached twice. To put that into perspective, there have only been four impeachments since America became a thing and half of them belong to Trump.
So what comes next? Well this means Trump will face trial in the Senate (again) where senators will vote on whether to boot him from the White House (and potentially bar him from holding an official governmental position again) or declare him innocent (which was what happened when he was impeached the first time).
With Trump set to leave office on Wednesday, January 20th, this will be the quickest impeachment trial ever held. Should two thirds of the Senate vote to convict Trump, he’ll be removed from office before January 20th and Mike Pence will briefly be president before Joe Biden takes over.
Judging from the reactions we’ve seen online, the internet has had an absolute field day with news of Trump getting impeached (again).
And much like what we did for when Trump got COVID-19 and when he got banned from Twitter, here are just some of the best reactions from musicians, comedians, and actors who decided to put in their two cents about Trump’s second impeachment:
When one impeachment won't suffice,
Damn his new crimes- impeach him twice!#DarnOldDonald pic.twitter.com/LVDfyAopai— Mark Hamill (@MarkHamill) January 13, 2021
Congrats to Trump on finally getting more votes than a Clinton

This is the "gritty reboot" impeachment.

I know it's easy to make fun of Donald Trump because he got impeached twice, but that's only because he got impeached twice

It would be impossible to impeach him too many times
