Trump says: MAGA "has just begun" after acquittal

Now that former President Trump has been acquitted for the second time after the Senate Impeachment trial, [which is a record] he said in the immortal words of "The Carpenters" that his political movement has "only just begun."

Trump thanked his legal team, one of whom [Michael Van der Veen] is a personal injury attorney, for "upholding justice and defending truth."

Trump is hoping to set more historical records in the future and wouldn't even be opposed to being impeached again if he decides to run and win in 2024. He promises to have more to share with the public in the near future.

“Our historic, patriotic and beautiful movement to Make America Great Again has only just begun. In the months ahead I have much to share with you, and I look forward to continuing our incredible journey together to achieve American greatness for all of our people,” he said in the statement.

The vote in the Senate was 57 to 43 thus acquitting Trump of high crimes and misdemeanors for “willfully inciting violence against the Government of the United States.” 

A two-thirds. or 67 votes [do the math], was needed to find the controversial former President guilty.

Seven GOPers, the usual suspects, voted to find Trump guilty, even though the proceedings were unconstitutional in the first place.

The one thing Trump was guilty of was not immediately responding to the riot on Capitol Hill as soon as it began, but that isn't impeachable unless he actually incited the rioting. 

If anyone should be impeached over incitement of violence, half the Democrats would make good candidates.

The twits at Twitter banned Trump a few days after the Capitol riot and once the impeachment trial began, he has stayed out of the public eye, which is an excellent strategy for him.

We will see whether or not the seven Republicans that voted to impeach Trump will be primaried in the midterms if their term is up.

In Trump's statement, he gave his “deepest thanks” to the Republicans in the Senate who he said “stood proudly for the Constitution we all revere and for the sacred legal principles at the heart of our country.”

“I also want to convey my gratitude to the millions of decent, hardworking, law-abiding, God-and-Country loving citizens who have bravely supported these important principles in these very difficult and challenging times,” he said.

Trump decried what he described as the “latest phase of the greatest witch hunt in the history of our Country.” 

Nothing that happens to Trump is anything less that the greatest whatever in the history of our country.
