Current Events > CNN is so silly: "Trump is Impeaching Himself"

(+) Yeah! (+)

Article headline: Trump is Impeaching Himself
In the article: While the notion of self-impeachment is silly, it is true that Trump's own egregious actions forced Democrats to continue thinking about the kinds of dramatic steps that might be necessary to contain this runaway presidency.

tbf, when i read the quote you put in the title i didn't think "omg he's really impeaching himself!?", i figured they meant that his actions are creating a list of things that will lead others to start the process...and i'd assume most people who read that title did so the same way i did. So I'm not seeing the big deal here....Just because they included the little blurb about self-impeachment? Meh.

I think it is ridiculous as the writer knows it's silly, but still went with the title as a clickbait. It gives off a bad vibe.

I didn't get clickbait from the title at all though. Before even reading what you put in the OP I figured they meant exactly that, and thought you were going to complain about how Trump's actions have done no such thing lol. Its an opinion piece. No one is going to read that title and say "WOAH HE IS!?"....well maybe a small percentage of morons will, you can never say nobody but the majority of people who see that won't think anything other than what it really means. Its just common sense...Its not like it said "IS TRUMP STARTING IMPEACHMENT PROCESS ON HIMSELF!?....Well, no, but his actions are!"....That would be clickbait.

They're assuming we're smart enough to figure out that Trump isn't actually impeaching himself. Shocking.

You can thank Nancy Pelosi for introducing that bullshit into the lexicon.

yes. when i read the title i understood exactly what it meant. I highly doubt most people who read that title thought he was actually starting impeachment processes on himself. CNN is terrible, but this is just grasping at straws.

Bruh, that is the most clickbaity title they could've chosen, it doesn't fucking matter if you supposedly knew what they meant. To deny that is basically sticking your head in the sand and I don't know why you'd do that for them.

All i'm saying is when i read the title i knew exactly what it meant. Or what that writer intended it to mean. I didn't think Trump was actually going to start the process to impeach himself and i highly doubt the majority of people who read it thought that. Its pretty obvious what it meant. But discuss it as you must...

Are you not getting? It is still a clickbait title. Why are you dying on this hill?

I'm starting to think Trump has been trying to commit career suicide all this time. In that case, I'm all for it.

The past two and a half years have been Trump trying desperately to get the hell out of being President without actually resigning?

I can believe it.
