Reposted by RCBNicholas Grossman @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Trump did not announce a U.S. policy then walk it back. That is not what happened, and media presenting it that way does a disservice. Trump said words he thought might appeal to his audience in the moment, with no connection to actual policy, then did that again with a different question/asker. 722784757

People who oppose impeachment as “pointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it. 8768872027
