no he won't.

and even if he did, nothing will happen.

and even if something happened, it won't mean anything.

If any of the previous 34 felonies, numerous pages in the Epstein files, corruption from the first term, violations from trying to overturn the 2020 election, and this whole current stack of bullshit from kidnapping a foreign leader, to starting a war we didn't need without congressional approval or any justification didn't result in impeachment and removal, I don't think anyone is gonna care about tiktok...

With everything he's done, this is the straw that broke the camel's back?

I thought impeachment has become useless.

I am not seeing why the massive fee here is being seen as a reason for impeachment, maybe someone can explain?

Sounds to me like the fee goes to the treasury department, so it's not like Trump is getting this money. Maybe I am misunderstanding this?

Look up Trump's Qatar bank account

TriplePlaid@wetshav.ing · 2 pts · 185d

While I can see how that bank account is a can of worms and potentially connected to more than one reason Trump could/should be impeached, I am not aware of/was not able to find any connection between the TikTok deal and that account.

While looking that up, I found this article that does a better job describing why the TikTok deal may be connected to an impeachable offense (the people running the companies that are involved in the purchase have given Trump money in the past).

It all depends on where the money actually goes. For instance, this $10B fee "to the Treasury" may end up actually going to the Board of Peace, which people should realize is just a big front for Trump to funnel money to himself and his friends .

Oh, this is the fucking straw that causes calls for impeachment?

Still... Spanner in the works. Do anything and everything to slow then down, block their moves, take back control, get rid of them. Anything and everything.
