Trump's 'Civil War' Quote Tweet Is Actually Grounds for Impeachment, Says Harvard Law Professor

President Donald Trump's recent tweet quoting a longtime evangelical pastor who warned of a "Civil War" if Democrats seriously pursue removing him from office could actually be grounds for impeachment, one Harvard Law professor said.
"If the Democrats are successful in removing the President from office (which they will never be), it will cause a Civil War like fracture in this Nation from which our Country will never heal," Trump tweeted on Sunday night.
The tweet was a quote from Robert Jeffress, a Southern Baptist pastor who gave the comment during an appearance on Fox & Friends Weekend. Trump added his own parenthetical aside to Jeffress' quote, in which the president asserted that Congress won't be successful in their impeachment efforts.
The president's tweet was immediately met with backlash, and Harvard Law professor John Coates argued that the social media post itself is an "independent basis" for lawmakers to remove him from the White House.
"This tweet is itself an independent basis for impeachment - a sitting president threatening civil war if Congress exercises its constitutionally authorized power," Coates wrote on Twitter on Monday.

Getting removed from office is different than "loosing".

Trump to headline $580,600-per-couple fundraiser, his most expensive yet and a shift from 2016 when he criticized wooing rich donors

The dinner is expected to attract about 30 people and raise more than $10 million for the president��s reelection committee and the party, according to an RNC official.

In 2016, Trump denounced the chase for wealthy backers and criticized his opponents for doing so.

He's got to try to raise more money now, Bloomberg's in the race.

Never-ending primary? After split results, Democrats brace for a long fight - just what Bloomberg wants

Muddled results in the first two contests of the 2020 primary race have quashed hopes for a quick consolidation around a challenger to take on President Donald Trump �� and Democrats are now strapping in for a drawn-out delegate hunt that could end in the first contested convention in decades.

Former New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg's team could not have asked for a better outcome from Iowa and New Hampshire than a messy field with Bernie Sanders as a relatively weak front-runner, one veteran party strategist said.

Yeah. I wonder how he ranks against Bloomberg who is using his own money just because he can.

In the early stages of the 2106 election, Trump claimed to be using only his own money. Like most of what he says, it was a lie. He was lending the money to his campaign, to be repaid out of donations.

Bloomberg is a threat to him....on many levels. He is far richer than Donald. He is essentially honest and became successful at a level Trump could only wish. Bloomberg has nothing to lose. Trump does. Bloomberg is handling all this very intelligently. and strategically.........while Trump is just a low level disorganized bumpkin........with a big mouth and a nastier twitter account. Because Bloomberg is so much richer....... Trump is bothered by that ......as money and numbers relating to money & status are what matter to Trump. He is of that outdated thinking that more is better, bigger is better.......etc. Trump only embarrasses himself by calling Bloomberg short etc.. But then he has no problem embarrassing himself on a daily basis. One can imagine historians reading his crap on twitter a hundred or more years from now........and wondering why the man had not been restrained....... in some psych ward.

And a tad more racist, but apparently that is forgivable if he can beat Trump
