Democrats Grow Bolder On Talk About Removing Trump From Office

Dozens of Democratic lawmakers are saying President Donald Trump should be removed from office after he threatened Iranian civilization would “die” if it didn’t meet his demands. The episode unleashed demands for Democrats to oppose the Republican president in the strongest possible terms even though he eventually pulled back on his threat and agreed to a two-week ceasefire. Lawmakers are showing no sign they'll back off as they return to Washington. The new imperative from Democrats underscores how seriously many in Washington take Trump’s talk of a mortal threat to a country of 91 million people. The White House has defended Trump’s rhetoric as effective.
