Benedict Smith – The Daily Telegraph Aug 22, 2026
Donald Trump has claimed he will be impeached if the Republicans lose the midterm elections in November.
The US president, campaigning in South Carolina, warned supporters that they would “lose everything” if Democrats took control of Congress for his final two years in office.
On Friday, Mr Trump described the potential outcome of the elections in unusually stark language as he faced the prospect of being unable to force through legislation or depend on a compliant Congress.
“I’m going to be impeached. They’re going to impeach me. They have no idea why,” the 80-year-old told supporters at a rally in Myrtle Beach. He is the only man in history to have been impeached twice, albeit unsuccessfully.
Many Democrats openly back impeaching Mr Trump for a third time, and at least three have introduced articles of impeachment against him in his second term, though to little effect.
However, according to The Wall Street Journal, the party is divided about impeaching the US president. Some are concerned about a backlash from voters, or overshadowing priorities such as lowering prices.
In the past, Mr Trump has sounded blasé about the midterms, in which the Democrats are widely predicted to win back control of the House of Representatives. Some pollsters narrowly favour them to regain the Senate as well.
On Friday, the US president claimed that if Republicans did not turn out, his political opponents would wreck the economy and take the opportunity to undo his achievements.
“If we lose, you’re going to lose your border, you’re going to lose your tax cuts, you’re going to lose everything that we’ve done,” he said.
“We’ve got the biggest tax cuts in history. Think about no tax on tips, no tax on social security for our seniors, no tax on overtime. All of that’s going to be gone.
“Your taxes are going to go up. Your pay is going to go down. Your jobs are going to be lost. They’re going to end up closing up. Your businesses are going to flee.”
Mr Trump was campaigning in South Carolina for Darline Graham, who was appointed senator in July following the death of Lindsey Graham, her brother.
She is running for re-election but failed to win her primary outright, and faces a run-off election on Tuesday. In a widely panned debate performance on Aug 25, she admitted in response to a question on Taiwan that she was “not that informed on national security”.
Ms Graham’s success has become critical to Mr Trump’s control of his own party. His endorsement was once feted as the most powerful weapon in conservative politics, but three of his hand-picked candidates lost their Republican primaries on Tuesday.
Speaking in South Carolina, Mr Trump urged his Maga base to “pretend” he was on the ballot, arguing that his political dominance was at stake even though he was not personally standing for election.
“They say ‘Trump does great when he’s on the ballot, but when he’s not on the ballot, his people don’t come,’” he said. “So what I really want you to do is pretend, please, that I’m on the ballot. Just come and vote.”
> He shot himself in the foot by going to war with Iran – at Israel’s behest – and this will be foremost in the minds of many voters in November
No. The only thing on their minds will be which one will make them richer.
> We’ve got the biggest tax cuts in history. Think about no tax on tips, no tax on social security for our seniors, no tax on overtime. All of that’s going to be gone.
LOL. Think about $40tn.
I particularly like the “no tax on overtime”. He’s saying: “the better slave you are, the more peanuts you get”.
> Mr Trump was campaigning in South Carolina for Darline Graham, who was appointed senator in July following the death of Lindsey Graham, her brother.
Well well, who’d have thought it. The best “candidate” to replace the war monger is the war monger’s sister. T.r.i.b.e.
> “They say ‘Trump does great when he’s on the ballot, but when he’s not on the ballot, his people don’t come,’” he said. “So what I really want you to do is pretend, please, that I’m on the ballot. Just come and vote.”
Do you remember when they used to tell you that if you “voted” them into the big houses with the servants and the limousines, they’d do something-or-other to “help” you? Now it’s just “pretend the head goon is on the ballot”.
Trump asks his base to pretend he’s on the ballot so they’ll come out and vote Republican. Pretend like he did that they’ll get a $2,000 check in his first year and it won’t be them paying the tariffs? That kind of pretend? Pretence has its limits as do people being deceived.

Of course he might as well be a kike. All of his children married a demon kike. I wonder how Maga clowns are still hanging on knowing he is a traitorous clown?
What on earth is tax on tips. Can any one explain? What does he mean?
If he means tax on a waiters tip. I can only say to people, adding tips to to their bill,s are c..nt’s Take along cash or a keepsake gem, soley for that purpose.
Trump shouldn’t have to lose the mid-terms to be impeached, but, fortunately, for him, the Republican Party doesn’t believe in defending the US Constitution.

More US BS. The US uniparty is fully behind the illegal war. Trump, nevertheless, is now saying that the US is entirely withdrawing from the Persian Gulf – just in case the war should be a real “election issue” used to oust him. In any case, the “alien” money power running the US has no real intention of having the US really depart from the Gulf, or in giving up the war and efforts to destroy Iran, or to see its gangster jackal nation abandon its support for the genocidal plunderings of Israel and the US oil and gas industry.
“On Friday, the US president claimed that if Republicans did not turn out, his political opponents would wreck the economy and take the opportunity to undo his achievements.” … Hahahaha the economy is a f*cking dumpster fire, and I’m not sure to what alleged “achievements” that bloated colostomy bag is referring.
“Mr Trump was campaigning in South Carolina for Darline Graham” ..Oh God, make it stop. If that festering c*nt is anything like her sodomite, treasonous brother, then we should just proceed to a public flogging and burning her at the stake. Literally.
Mere impeachment is far too good for Zion Don the Con, Mr. “Warp Speed”. Never forget that Zion Don played a key role in the massive terrorist psy-op that was the Convid-19(84) war on humanity. Also never forget he was part and parcel of Epstein’s pedophile Mossad operation. As I have suggested ad nauseum, the feral chabadnik deserves to get forced over a tree-stump, his tongue nailed to it, his mouth stuffed with pig shit, a hardbound copy of the talmud jack-hammered up his asshole, then rip him away and shove him into a wood-chipper.
Repugnacunt, Demonrat, we are f*cked raw either way. Revolution Now.
LOL…
the orange golem playing to the galleries… the usual bland bloviations we expect from these creeps, peppered with all the usual regime statistics and token gestures and insincerity from the orange chump that gave you a free donut for allowing him to inject you with dog shit..
impeached..haha…haven’t the muggles worked out that all these theatricals are for the clowns in the audience…distractions for the simple minded.. it helps create a narrative, like surviving a fake WWE assassination attempt.. or dismantling the lol deep state..
Drumpf and his criminal entourage have bilked the yankee asylum for billions, he’s iplacing thousands of trades a week..the inside kind, some chump chink is actually left with ten million dollars worth of his shitcoins.. bwahaha.. and empty pockets..and just like these fools, he thinks they can take him to court..
court jesters.. the lot ’em ..
do the fucking body count… it may take some time..
