Donald Trump's approval rating is 50%. Barack Obama's approval rating at the same point of his presidency (6 February 2012) was 50%.

Here is Kurt Schlichter's latest column.

To the editor:

I agree 100% with House impeachment manager Rep. Adam Schiff about the need to remove Trump from office.

I am pleased and honored to live in California’s 28th Congressional District and to have met Schiff on numerous occasions. His closing remarks in the Senate were passionate, eloquent and persuasive, and they summed up the case against Trump very well.

Schiff is right: Our country has suffered and will continue to suffer as long as Trump is in office. The repairs that will need to be undertaken once his administration is gone will take years, if not decades, to work.

I hope we as a country can unite and persevere to overcome Trump’s execrable legacy.

Only one United States senator, Republican Mitt Romney of Utah, deviated from his or her party during today's impeachment vote. CNN is calling him a "profile in courage" for standing up to his party. Suppose Joe Manchin of West Virginia (or some other Democrat) had stood up to his (or her) party by voting "not guilty" on an article of impeachment. Would CNN be calling him (or her) a "profile in courage"? I think you know the answer. CNN's talking heads wouldn't know a principle if it hit them in the face.

Bill Clinton got 55 "not guilty" votes on Article I and 50 "not guilty" votes on Article II, for a total of 105. Donald Trump got 52 "not guilty" votes on Article I and 53 "not guilty" votes on Article II, for a total of 105. Advantage Trump, since he got a majority on each article.

Acquitted forever!
