    Have you noticed that most headlines about something ridiculous Trump says (which is everything Trump says) put his actual words in quotes? That’s because the words he uses don’t mean anything in the real world. Trump can’t “expel” representatives.

    Trump doesn’t know, or care, what the laws actually say. He just says what he wants to happen and hopes that it will magically happen. Or, occasionally, he will illegally use an arm of the executive branch to try to make one of these things happen.

    I appreciate the press calling these out, to the extent of the quotes, but it would be nice if they would provide a little more context. Something like:
    Trump Wants to “Expel” Representatives Who Threaten to Impeach Him But He Can’t

      We don’t know if he can’t until he tries or really until he’s out of office and can’t keep trying. If I had a nickel for everything the Dems told me Trump couldn’t do that he did I would have enough of bribe them to support universal healthcare.
