We need look no further than #UkraineGate as the basis with which to impeach Trump.

That said, for many Americans Trump's extortion of Ukraine to interfere in the 2020 election won't be enough to turn the impeachment dial.
Trump's obstruction of justice will also not be *quite* enough. Neither will the endless contacts with Russians, the caging of children, the praise of dictators, the racism, the bullying and so on.

Perhaps no Trump-created atrocity will ever be enough for these people.
For whatever reason - their Fox News-fueled hatred of Democrats, their fear of immigrants, their glee at the surge of newly-appointed conservative judges, their odd affinity for red baseball caps -
- Whatever their rationale, they cling to this weird illusion that Donald Trump is NOT a psychopathic aspiring despot intent on enriching himself while America burns.
Do you ever wonder if the viewpoints of these Trump supporters would change if they could see ALL the Trump scandals from the last 2.75 years back-to-back? What would that look like? Do you even remember what they all are?
A while back I decided to create a Top-100 list of reasons to remove Trump from office. I asked my twitter friends for input and they didn't disappoint :)
I then ran a series of polls - 9 in all - to rank the offenses in order of how urgent they made the need to remove him from office. Given the limitations of Twitter polling, the ranking is not perfect. It's a rough approximation of the opinions of several hundred people.
Before we share the Top 100 Reasons Trump Must Be Removed, we'll present those that didn't quite make it. They were bad, some criminal, some just offensive, but not awful enough for the top spots.

These have been relegated to the Dishonorable Mentions shelf.

Here we go:
Dishonorable Mention: Cancelling a Denmark visit because they were not interested in selling Greenland to the U.S.
Dishonorable Mention: Comments about "shithole countries."
Dishonorable Mention: Mocking a disabled reporter.

(Yes this occurred before he took office, but it was a frequent mention of the people who took the initial poll.)
Dishonorable Mention: Spreading fake videos to smear Nancy Pelosi and Jim Acosta.
Dishonorable Mention: Holding rallies to support a Senate candidate accused of child molestation - and was even banned from a local mall.
Dishonorable Mention: Abuse of Power - Punishing CNN by calling on supporters to boycott its parent company.
Dishonorable Mention: Laziness. Golfing. Hours of "Executive Time" doing nothing more than rage tweeting Fox News.
Dishonorable Mention: Disparaging John McCain.
Dishonorable Mention: The daily barrage of abusive tweets.
Dishonorable Mention: Rolling back the Clean Water Act
Dishonorable Mention: Extorting @JoeNBC and @morningmika.
@JoeNBC @morningmika Dishonorable Mention: Alarming and persistent pattern of non-transparency.
@JoeNBC @morningmika Dishonorable Mention: Refusing hurricane survivors.
@JoeNBC @morningmika Dishonorable Mention: Sharpie Gate

And that is the last of the Dishonorable Mentions.
