‘Total Whackjobs’: Trump Goes Off on Democrats’ Latest Impeachment Shenanigans with Lengthy Post

| Published May 6, 2025

President Donald Trump is slamming House Democrats for filing new articles of impeachment against him, calling the effort a politically motivated stunt and urging Republicans to consider expelling those responsible from Congress.

In a pointed Truth Social post, Trump said:

“They have already got two ‘No Name,’ little respected Congressmen, total Whackjobs both, throwing the ‘Impeachment’ of DONALD J. TRUMP around, for about the 20th time, even though they have no idea for what I would be Impeached.”

He continued, sharply criticizing Democrats for their handling of the country during their time in power:

“Maybe it should be for cleaning up the MESS that they left us on the Border, or the Highest Inflation in our Country’s History or, perhaps, it should be the incompetent Withdrawal from Afghanistan, or Russia, Russia, Russia/Ukraine, Ukraine, Ukraine, or the Attack of Israel on October 7th that only proceeded because they allowed Iran to regain Great Wealth.”

The impeachment resolution, filed by Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.), includes seven articles that cite Trump-era actions like the deportation of an alleged MS-13 gang member and budget cuts through the Department of Government Efficiency. However, the move appears to have backfired within the Democratic Party itself.

The impeachment resolution, filed by Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.), includes seven articles citing actions such as the deportation of an alleged MS-13 gang member and budget cuts implemented by the Department of Government Efficiency. However, the move has caused internal discord within the Democratic Party. Several Democrats, including Reps. Jerry Nadler (D-NY), Robin Kelly (D-Ill.), and Kweisi Mfume (D-Md.), withdrew their support after discovering the resolution had not been approved by party leadership or legally vetted .

Trump has called on House Republicans to consider expelling the lawmakers behind the impeachment resolution, accusing them of committing “real crimes” and undermining national unity . He emphasized that the repeated use of impeachment as a political tool is detrimental to the country’s healing process.

This development underscores the heightened political tensions ahead of the upcoming election cycle, with both parties grappling with internal divisions and strategic disagreements.


Implications of the Latest Trump Impeachment Push

The Democrats’ surprise move to introduce new articles of impeachment against Donald Trump—and Trump’s fierce reaction—carry several political, strategic, and institutional implications:

🧨 1. Intensified Partisan Warfare

  • The move deepens already bitter divisions in Congress. Trump’s call to expel Democrats who supported impeachment reflects an increasingly tit-for-tat political culture, where impeachment is wielded as a partisan weapon rather than a constitutional remedy.

  • This sets a precedent where minority parties may face retribution simply for introducing controversial resolutions.


🪓 2. Democratic Infighting and Strategic Misfire

  • The fact that key Democrats withdrew support—citing lack of vetting and leadership coordination—shows disunity and poor internal discipline.

  • It also undermines the seriousness of the impeachment attempt, potentially embarrassing the party and giving Trump and Republicans ammunition to frame them as chaotic and unserious.


💬 3. Strengthening Trump’s Narrative

  • Trump’s strong response—branding Democrats as “whackjobs” and “lowlifes”—feeds directly into his populist messaging that he’s a target of corrupt political elites.

  • The backlash may galvanize his base, portraying him as a victim of political persecution just as the 2026 election season heats up.


🏛️ 4. Undermining the Institution of Impeachment

  • Repeated, politically driven impeachment efforts risk devaluing impeachment as a constitutional check. It could lose public legitimacy if it’s seen as routine political theater.

  • This could have long-term institutional damage, making it harder to hold any president accountable in the future—even for truly impeachable offenses.


🗳️ 5. Impact on 2026 Midterms and Congressional Power Plays

  • Republicans could use this incident to rally support in swing districts, pointing to Democratic overreach and dysfunction.

  • Meanwhile, Democrats may face internal pressure to regain message discipline and refocus on policy rather than politically symbolic moves.


📌 Overall Takeaway

The latest impeachment attempt against Donald Trump appears to be a politically clumsy and poorly coordinated move that has backfired on Democrats. Rather than weakening Trump, it has strengthened his narrative of being unfairly targeted by partisan opponents, while exposing internal fractures within the Democratic Party. The episode underscores growing dysfunction in Congress and the continued erosion of impeachment as a serious constitutional tool—turning it instead into a partisan stunt that may do more damage to its initiators than to its intended target.
