SEN. DIANE FEINSTEIN seems to think we're STUCK WITH TRUMP for 3 MORE YEARS! [View all]



Sen. Dianne Feinstein booed at San Francisco event after saying she hopes Trump can change
August 30, 2017
.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein was booed by some constituents Tuesday night when she said President Donald Trump could be a good president if he changed his approach to the job and brought the nation together.

“I just hope he has the ability to learn and change — and if he can he can be a good president,” she said at a Commonwealth Club forum at the historic Herbst Theater, surprising San Franciscans used to hearing their politicians decry Trump. “Oh, come on!” a few people shouted. “No, no!” screamed others.

Unlike some of her California congressional colleagues — who have called for Trump to be removed from office and even questioned his mental sanity — Feinstein threw cold water on attempts to impeach Trump or otherwise kick him out of the White House before his term is up in January 2021.

“Look, this man is going to be president, most likely for the rest of this term,” she said. “I think we have to have some patience — it’s eight months into the tenure of the presidency.”

When a Senate member who serves on two commissions (Senate and Judiciary) currently INVESTIGATING Trump says something like this, we're obviously fucked.
