Dzooky Nduru there’s been enough things Trump has done and said to warrant impeachment, in my opinion.
You probably have a ready excuse for all of them if you’ve followed the news all year...otherwise you haven’t seen the complaints in which case you can find with an easy search.
I do understand that his supporters feel it’s a witch hunt. I personally think they’ve allowed their fervent loyalty to cloud their judgement by only selectively hearing what they want. To me Trump is a chameleon who speaks out of both sides of his mouth and spews his word salad which clearly has made him a very effective conman. His listeners’ brains end up filtering what they hear. But that’s my opinion. I’ll leave you to yours. And others who are making much better points than I am today.
Just to back up what I was saying about Clinton’s impeachment, I found this on Gallup:
It is clear that last week's air strikes against Iraq were overwhelmingly popular with the American public: 78% of Americans approved and only 18% disapproved. Additionally, the attacks appeared to have been viewed as legitimate by most Americans.
The criticism that they were ordered by Clinton in part to divert attention away from the impeachment proceedings was endorsed by only 25% of the public.
Most thought that they were "in the best interests of the country."
Dramatic, sharply focused events which involve Americans placed in harms way on foreign soil are part of a class of occurrences known as rally events, so named because they typically cause the American public to "rally around the flag" and usually result in increased job approval ratings for the sitting president.
In recent years, such events have included Desert Storm and the Invasion of Panama in the Bush administration and air strikes against Libya and the invasion of Grenada in the Reagan administration. Given these past experiences, it might be expected that the Iraq strikes would boost the President's job approval numbers.

At the same time, the House vote on Saturday was an historic event of great significance and one that dominated television and news coverage. As has generally been the case for several months, public opinion about this impeachment action, although not as sharply defined as the reaction to the Iraq attacks, is strongly negative, with disapproval of the House vote running ahead of approval by a 63% to 35% margin. Other measures included in Gallup's most recent poll underscore this negative reaction. There has been a significant drop in favorable opinions of the Republican Party -- at the same time that 54% of Americans agree that the Republicans in Congress have abused their Constitutional authority.
This negative reaction to the congressional emphasis on impeachment, combined with the positive reaction to the Iraq strikes, may have resulted this past weekend in a renewed focus by the public on what they perceive Clinton to be doing right. A parallel phenomenon occurred last January, as the Lewinsky crisis first broke, when a successful State of the Union address by Clinton resulted in an increase rather than a decrease in his job approval by the American public.
