President Donald Trump launched a blistering attack on Democrats via Truth Social on May 6, 2025, accusing them of spiraling “out of control” with renewed impeachment talks. Branding them “Radical Left Lunatics,” Trump claimed two “no-name, little respected” Democratic congressmen—described as “total Whackjobs”—are pushing for his impeachment for the “20th time” without clear justification. “They don’t even know why they want to impeach me, but they just want to do it!” Trump fumed, suggesting their motives are rooted in political vendettas rather than evidence.
Trump sarcastically speculated that Democrats might want to impeach him for “cleaning up” their alleged messes, citing border security, record-high inflation, the Afghanistan withdrawal, or foreign policy failures like Russia’s actions in Ukraine and Iran’s role in the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel. He accused Democrats of weaponizing impeachment to undermine his efforts to “save our country,” claiming they are recycling the same playbook from his first term. The post, which quickly went viral on X under #TrumpImpeachment, sparked a polarized frenzy, with supporters rallying behind his defiance and critics slamming his rhetoric as unhinged.
The president didn’t stop at defending himself. He called for Republicans to retaliate by expelling the congressmen, whom he labeled “dishonest” and hateful toward America. Trump hinted at broader Democratic “crimes,” particularly around elections, and revived old grievances, alleging that former Rep. Adam Schiff and the January 6 committee required pardons to avoid expulsion or worse. “Perhaps we should start playing their game and expel Democrats for their REAL crimes,” he wrote, escalating the stakes in an already tense political climate.
Political analysts see this as part of Trump’s strategy to rally his base ahead of looming congressional battles. While no formal impeachment proceedings have been filed, the unnamed congressmen’s comments have fueled speculation. Democrats, meanwhile, argue Trump’s actions—such as executive orders targeting law firms and his recent church-state remarks—justify scrutiny. Posts on X reflect the divide: one user called Trump “a victim of endless witch hunts,” while another labeled him “a threat to democracy who dares Congress to act.”
As Washington braces for more clashes, Trump’s tirade has reignited debates over impeachment’s role in American politics. Will Republicans heed his call for expulsions, or will Democrats press forward with investigations? The nation watches as this high-stakes showdown unfolds.
