Trump squirts out a rage-filled social media fatwa: "Why not get it started?" (impeaching Hakeem Jeffries)



“Hakeem Jeffries, a Low IQ individual, said our Supreme Court is ‘illegitimate,‘ the 79-year-old wrote on Truth Social, referencing remarks House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries made on Apr. 29 following the Supreme Court’s ruling that struck down Louisiana’s congressional map.

“After saying such a thing, isn’t he subject to Impeachment?” Trump asked. “I got impeached for A PERFECT PHONE CALL,” he added, in reference to his phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that led to his first impeachment in 2019.

“Where are you Republicans?” he continued, before adding, “Why not get it started? They’ll be doing this to me!”

He followed his call for impeachment by posting a photo of Jeffries with a baseball bat without comment. The photo was originally posted by Jeffries on Instagram in July 2025, with the caption, “Protecting your healthcare is as American as baseball, motherhood and apple pie.” The 55-year-old drew criticism from MAGA at the time when he posted the same photo on Facebook with the caption, “House Democrats will keep the pressure on Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill.”

Members of the House, like Jeffries, cannot be impeached; instead, they can be expelled from Congress by a two-thirds vote.

Everyone knows that in the gangster movies they threaten people with bats. Where is the DOJ?

ASSUMING THAT THE DEMS take over the House, Jeffries will become Speaker. That will make him the face of Trump's third impeachment. A Black man. That's a double whammy in Trump's book. He needs Black men in his life to observe the laws of fealty and total submission, like Rick Scott, Ben Carson, and Byron Donalds. They can never question or challenge him, and they especially can't be involved in impeaching him.

A big part of Trump's mental disintegration is that his life-long racism is now "barely concealed." He'd love nothing more than to see Jeffries removed from the picture, and...of course...that's not going to happen, so it's making him even crazier.
