Powerless President: Why Donald Trump will be remembered by Americans for ages

Hate him or love him, but outgoing US president Donald Trump will go down the annals of the world history as a leader who was impeached twice during his stint as the head of a super power. He will also be remembered as a president who used Twitter as his major medium of communication.

The president has faced many woes during his twilight days in office.

During the second impeachment, 232 lawmakers voted in support of his impeachment. 10 Republicans were among those who voted to impeach Trump, making the impeachment process as the most bipartisan one in the recent times. Donald Trump made history as the US President to be impeached twice. 

Speaker Nancy Pelosi led the congress as the House debated on the impeachment charges. The president was charged with inciting insurrection that led to Capitol assault. The attack led to the postponement of the certification of Biden’s win by the US congress. Earlier on after the attack, Mr Trump acknowledged bearing blame for the violence as quoted by Fox News during a conversation with Republican Minority leader in the House Kevin McCarthy.

Trump was banned from giant social media platforms; Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, due to his persistent breach of online policies. He constantly used Twitter to hit at his rival, Joe Biden, accusing Democrats of orchestrating election fraud.

His ban on social media triggered him to accuse twitter for the alleged conspiracy with his detractors to silence him. He, however, hinted about developing his own social media. Most of Trump’s supporters have found relief on gab.com, a site that supports free speech.

Kenyans surprised over UDA's 'Voters Repair' remarks for President Ruto 2027 reelection

What Happened On or around May 23, 2026, NTV Kenya and other outlets aired footage from a UDA meeting at Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula's home.  Leaders including Savula and MP Charles Gimose reportedly used phrases like "tutafanya ukarabati ya kura" (we will repair/do maintenance on the votes).  Some comments referenced high victory margins in places like Tanzania under Samia Suluhu or Museveni-style wins. This has been widely seen as implying plans to "fix" or pad results in favor of President William Ruto's reelection, rather than a literal call for better voter registration or system maintenance. Public Reaction 1. Surprise and outrage: Many Kenyans on X and social media expressed shock, viewing it as arrogant or desperate signaling am...
