US historians on what Donald Trump's legacy will be
At noon on Wednesday, President Donald Trump's term will end. It's been a whirlwind four years, so what might the legacy be of such a history-making president?
Matthew Continetti is a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, focusing on the development of the Republican Party and the American conservative movement. Donald Trump will be remembered as the first president to be impeached twice. He fed the myth that the election was stolen, summoned his supporters to Washington to protest the certification of the Electoral College vote, told them that only through strength could they take back their country, and stood by as they stormed the US Capitol and interfered in the operation of constitutional government. When historians write about his presidency, they will do so through the lens of the riot.TL:DR Donald Trump will be remembered as a misogynistic, white supremist racist asshole who was self dealing and impeached twice for his conduct.
A historian should know better than most that only history can tell what the legacy will be. So in 20-30 years we should have a fairly good idea.
This, sadly is true. . . but he will at least go down in the history books as the first president to have been impeached twice.

Well, at least not as racist as Biden, if at all.
He was not impeached. They tried though.

Are you insane? I cannot comment on the "as Biden" bit. But if at all? What planet do you live on?

He was impeached twice. He was not convicted and removed.

I was avoiding getting into this bout with @Obsolesce because he's obviously trolling. Just report his post and move on. Make @scottalanmiller deal with it.

If you wanted to avoid getting into with @Obsolesce or anyone for that matter, then why post the comment to begin with?
EDIT: Why is it trolling also? He just made a reply to your comment.

It's trolling because he's clearly touched in the head with the reality of the facts and wishes to dispute the obvious.

Keep it civil.
The ban stick needs more blood on it.

I see, accused, process started, but not charged or found guilty of anything.

Exactly, (as you and most people here know but not the general pubic it seems) is IMHO synonymous with the word indictment. Just charges and nothing else. Although some think impeachment/indictment = guilty.

Irregardless of which President was the cause for the proceedings, you have a severe lack of understanding of what the process actually is.

Irregardless isn't a word. The correct word is Regardless.

Can you try again and make a coherent sentence? Because this makes no sense

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregardless
According to the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), irregardless was first acknowledged in 1912 by the Wentworth American Dialect Dictionary as originating from western Indiana,[7] though the word was in use in South Carolina before Indiana became a territory.[1] The usage dispute over irregardless was such that, in 1923, Literary Digest published an article titled "Is There Such a Word as Irregardless in the English Language?" The OED goes on to explain the word is primarily a North American colloquialism.[7]
