Americans are ‘sick and tired’ of impeachment and ‘grandstanding & chicanery’ of both parties – Ron Paul

Uncategorized

Americans are ‘sick and tired’ of impeachment and ‘grandstanding & chicanery’ of both parties – Ron Paul The Democrats are desperately trying to remove President Donald Trump from office or at least win back the presidency in 2020.

More importantly, the whole process is apparently losing steam because people are “sick and tired” of the latest of many attempts to impeach Trump. There is less enthusiasm for impeachment now than it was a week ...
