Trump: A ‘third-world country’ tries to impeach leaders who haven’t done ‘anything wrong’

President Trump suggested that the United States would turn into a “third-world country” if Democrats tried to impeach him should they regain control of the House, because he has not done "anything wrong."

"You'll have a country that's going to turn into a third-world country because if the opposite party becomes president, every time before it even starts, before you even found out whether or not he or she is going to do a great job, they'll say, 'We want to impeach him,'" Trump said at a campaign rally in Montana on Thursday.

"If that happened, every time a Republican or a Democrat - opposite - got elected president. Let's say a Democrat gets elected ... and let's say we have a Republican House. We will impeach that Democrat, right?" Trump said, warning against the idea.

We’re already more than halfway to becoming a Third World Country, no thanks to Donnie and the ruling party. We have voter registration manipulation, solons that pay scant heed to representative democracy, and a party that is more interested in maintaining political power than in doing right by the people who elected them. Donnie is merely the cherry on the top of the s#!t Sundae served to America’s citizens by the Republican Party and its reactionary billionaire campaign donors.
