Senate Republicans can theoretically control President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial. But there’s one thing they have no power over: Trump’s itchy Twitter fingers.
Trump has not exactly hid his feelings about the House impeachment proceedings, often tweeting that it’s “phony” and a “hoax.” The president even posted tweets attacking several witnesses who testified during the House’s impeachment inquiry. And if he continues the barrage during his impeachment trial in the Senate, it could derail the Senate GOP’s strategy, annoy undecided senators and end up hurting his efforts to win unanimous acquittal from the Republican Party.
With the House impeaching Trump Wednesday, the Senate will likely take up an impeachment trial in early January. It will be the first time the Senate holds an impeachment trial in the age of Twitter and social media — and with a president who can provide real-time commentary while senators are confined to the Senate floor.Senate Republicans have complained for four years about Trump's tweets.
ChrisCuomo Is there a betting pool? How long before he tweets? How many times he tweets? How many alternative facts will he use? Sadly the man has no impulse control.
Not a chance. He will continue to embarrass all of us.
Good luck with that.
This is a no brainer give the docs to the senate after Boltons book comes out...he will then testify in the Senate to promote his book ....dugh
ChrisCuomo
:) Riiiight.
Good luck SenateGOP Ban together with ForTheRuleOfLaw and have a chance at saving the Constitution.
The GOP are so swayed by party bias and risk of loss they don't even see they are fighting for someone not fit to watch a dog.
ChrisCuomo If you ever seem the TV Series “walking dead”? If so, GOP reminds me of the outside groups that you always had to keep an eye on because the smile in you face and stick you in back as soon as you turn away.
😂😂😂 Oh wait, they're serious?!🤔😂
ChrisCuomo Have they just MET this guy?
ChrisCuomo Pray? They pray to their idol MOB BOS Trump and bend the knee to the Trump Criminal Syndicate!
You who loves his tweets - his constituents.
Well that is a laugh🤡🤡🤡🤡
Like they have Trump will talk and the voters listen
ChrisCuomo Let him tweet,that's the only thing he's good at,
ChrisCuomo Ha
fakenews
ChrisCuomo Not looking good so far this morning
ChrisCuomo Not as long as he knows that cocksuckers like Graham and McConnell have his back and are willing to remain complicit!
Don't hold your breath.
He should have not twitted from day one
ChrisCuomo Good luck He will rage on. He has diarrhea of the fingers. Can’t help himself
Yeah, well. That's not going to happen.
There's about as much chance of that as Graham keeping his mouth shut!
ChrisCuomo Ha!
Senate republicans pray? No way or they would be doing what is right and just.
You don't quiet the King less you find yourself among the galliws.
ChrisCuomo Good luck with that
There is 0 chance of that happening
ChrisCuomo
ChrisCuomo And the Senate Republicans have a better CHANCE of getting struck by lightning then POTUS not tweeting during Impeachment Trial?
Don’t count on it
His tweets are him. I always knew that they loathed him.
ChrisCuomo
SenateGOP, most of them won't be there since the articles won't be sent until after further investigation and the Democrats win the senate in 2020. So Trump will be removed if he wins and face trial for his crimes win or lose. The Republican party has gone the way of the Whigs
I agree!
Fat chance of that happening. He treats his position like it's his latest episode of The Apprentice!
ChrisCuomo Why does he care ? So people dont think he's Trumps Ball Holder? Its too late Lindsey we all know you're a fraud and now someone running against you is raking in major cash? You're done lindsey and everyone knows it
Impeached 45 needs to testify
Believe me he going to tweet something out of character.He can't help himself this is driving Him crazy..
That won't happen 🤣 Trump is melting down minute by minute!
He won't be able to help himself. He will tweet up a storm.
Highly unlikely- best bet get him to resign! realDonaldTrump Dear Mr. 3rd US President EVER TO BE IMPEACHED, resign and save the country would be your most noble calling. BeBest!
ChrisCuomo
ChrisCuomo
Trump will get a big surprise from senate! America is sick of Trump!
Good luck with that.
🙄🤦♀️.... good luck with that!
TomthunkitsMind We The People Can Never Underestimate The Stupidity of The Republican Party. We The People Will Not Tolerate a Rigged Trial. Do Not Send The Impeachment to The Senate.
Dream on GOP
ChrisCuomo Sure, And you’ll find a three leaf clover under the hoof of a unicorn too!
ChrisCuomo Good luck with that.
ChrisCuomo Lies
TomthunkitsMind 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Not working
TomthunkitsMind Are they really that stupid? He won't not in his nature, he's his own worst enemy.
ChrisCuomo Not holding my breath.
LOL
ChrisCuomo Have they fvcking met the man? ( using term “man” loosely ). This just proves how delusional they are. 🤷🏼♀️
Hahahahaah
The GOP supports the Nazi Devil from HELL
ChrisCuomo The only way Trump doesn't Tweet is if he loses his phone!
TomthunkitsMind Good luck with that.
Then those Republicans need to step down
ChrisCuomo Why? We like it. Getting ready impeachment 2, the sequel.
ChrisCuomo LOL fat chance!!!
ChrisCuomo If someone were to take Trump’s supply of Adderall (or Cocaine, whatever he’s doing) away, then maybe he will STFU, but that’s not likely.
He will.
ChrisCuomo Narrator: He didn’t stay quiet.
ChrisCuomo Americans are fools! I think Donald Trump will be reelected in 2020. If he is, every registered Republican will receive from Trump an autographed tee-shirt that reads, “I’d rather be a Russian than a Democrat/American.”
Good luck with that, gop.
ChrisCuomo Hah!
You know how you could make his tweets irrelevant? Hold him to the letter of the law and remove him from office
Dream on, Senate Republicans. You've never had any control over the irresponsible monster in the White House. That's why he needs to be removed, now that he's been impeached. NO ONE CAN STOP HIM FROM HIS UNWISDOM.
Thanks, I needed a good laugh this AM.
If they are super nice to him, trump might make a house call for their maids dishwasher
Hope is not a strategy, the senate must remove
Never going to happen. Traitor graham is a disgrace.
You could just convict him then president pence will do whatever you say.
Why? Afraid he may obstruct justice?
Democrats pray he’ll resign
Good luck with that.
The last thing he will do is stay quiet. Wishful thinking tho
Not in a million years... 🤣 🤣 🤣 Impeached45
As if
😂
Not possible
Bill: 'They hope he won't tweet? Good luck with that!'
Good luck with that - he’s too egotistical! He will sink his own yacht☺️
Not a chance.
Hahahahaha hahahahaha okay whatever
