"When a man unprincipled in private life desperate in his fortune, bold in his temper, possessed of considerable talents, having the advantage of military habits—despotic in his ordinary demeanour—known to have scoffed in private at the principles of liberty—when such a man is seen to mount the hobby horse of popularity—to join in the cry of danger to liberty—to take every opportunity of embarrassing the General Government & bringing it under suspicion—to flatter and fall in with all the nonsense of the zealots of the day—It may justly be suspected that his object is to throw things into confusion that he may 'ride the storm and direct the whirlwind.'”--Alexander Hamilton, Founding Father of our United States, arguing including impeachment in the ConstitutionIt's almost as though he knew him. It's nearly as though Hamilton met and knew Donald Trump, from this description.Well, except that "possessed of considerable talents" part.Happy Second Impeachment, everyone. Enjoy. I know I am.
