From the moment he assumed the office, President Donald Trump has been in direct violation of the US Constitution, suggests the “Impeach Donald Trump Now” campaign.
“The President is not above the law. We will not allow President Trump to profit from the presidency at the expense of our democracy,” according to the campaign statement.
It urges Congress to pass a resolution calling for the House Committee on the Judiciary to investigate whether sufficient grounds exist for the impeachment of Donald John Trump, President of the United States.
The campaign has gained more support after the Muslim ban order that President Trump imposed last week to restrict the entry of people from different Muslim countries into the U.S.
The campaign organizers claimed today that they have already collected more than 500,000 signatures on a petition and their new target is 1,000,000 to get the attention of the U.S. Congress toward Trump’s impeachment.

But why should Trump be impeached? “President Trump’s personal and business holdings in the United States and abroad present unprecedented conflicts of interest.” This is among the main reasons that “Impeach Donald Trump Now” campaign gives as the ground for impeachment.
A team of ethics lawyers also have filed a court compalint against President Trump, accusing him of accepting illegal payments for his businesses from foreign governments.
As Trump is working in a totally authoritarian style, on Monday he fired a top federal government lawyer Sally Yates when she opposed Trump’s Muslim ban order.
That’s not all. During the past one week of his presidency, Trump has antagonized different sections of people including the Mexican government. Besides banning Muslims, he has also threatened to make a wall to block the entry of Mexicans in the U.S.

The global community is so disturbed with Trump’s actions that a number of United Nations (UN) human rights and refugee welfare agencies have expressed their anguish over his arbitrary decision to ban the entry of people from certain Muslim countries.
And the UK Parliament is supposed to discuss whether or not the country should allow Trump to make a state visit to UK.

Besides all the conflicts of interest Trump’s wealth causes, and his un-presidential antagonism toward immigrants and certain foreign country relations, his outrageous narcissistic mental problem, besides any other, undiagnosed mental aberration, and his ignorance of government , make Donald Trump very unqualified for the presidency. Trump has shown resistance and refusal to follow many of the requirements of the presidential position, besides his immature behavior being an embarrassment to the reputation of the United States of America, and are more than enough reason to impeach the low I.Q.
