What a SURPRISE! Trump "frequently complains privately and publicly about" his two first term Impeachments
He may be a delusional, arrogant, narcissistic sociopath, btu he realizes a third impeachment is GUARANTEED with the right number of Dem seats.
Trump's whole agenda now rooted in fear Democrats will win midterms: analyst
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-midterms-2673970088/
In his first term, Trump famously became the only president to ever be impeached twice — the first time for using weapons shipments to try to strongarm Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy into announcing a corruption investigation of the Biden family, and the second for inciting the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol to stop the certification of his electoral loss.
Both times, he was acquitted in the Senate, but at least some Republicans crossed the aisle to condemn him.
"Despite his return to the White House this year, he frequently complains privately and publicly about Democrats’ efforts to remove him from office in his first term," wrote Lemire. "Trump, to this day, insists that he did nothing wrong, calling both impeachments 'witch hunts.' And he is fearful that he might have to go through it all again."
After all, even if he can't be forced from office, it would block any future legislative agenda he has and let Democrats "open investigations into the Trump administration, dragging key officials to the Hill for embarrassing, headline-grabbing hearings," Lemire wrote.

Could there be a limit where one’s own head would explode like that guy in the movie Scanners?
