US President Donald Trump has issued a stark warning to his fellow Republicans: if they fail to win the majority of seats in Congress during the upcoming midterms, he will be impeached.
Speaking at a Republican retreat in Washington DC on Wednesday, Trump emphasized the importance of maintaining control of the House of Representatives, where his party currently holds a razor-thin margin. "You've got to win the midterms because, if we don't win the midterms, it's just going to be - I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me," he said. "I'll be impeached."
This warning comes at a time when Trump is facing growing opposition from Democrats and increasing scrutiny over his actions as president. With an approval rating of around 42-45%, Trump may face significant headwinds in the November elections.
Despite this, Trump remains optimistic about his party's chances, predicting an "epic" victory that will break records. He has been pushing Republican-controlled states to pass new congressional district maps that would favor their party, a strategy known as gerrymandering that critics see as undemocratic.
Trump's concerns over impeachment have been echoed by some Democrats in the past year, who have called for his removal from office due to various alleged incidents. However, with no clear momentum for an impeachment motion at this point, it remains to be seen whether Republicans will heed Trump's warning and prioritize their party's survival over the threat of impeachment.
As the country prepares for the midterms, one thing is clear: the stakes are high, and the outcome will have far-reaching implications for the future of American politics.

. Who needs a warning when you've already been warned... repeatedly 
. His approval rating isn't exactly soaring 
.
I'm getting so tired of this whole "impeachment" drama 
it's like, can't we just focus on what really matters? Like, what about the issues that matter to everyday people? Healthcare, education, jobs... you know, stuff that affects our daily lives? 
Trump's just trying to distract us from his own mistakes and controversies with this whole "win or lose" mentality 
it's not going to work. And what's with all the gerrymandering? It's like, so undemocratic 
can't we just have fair elections for once? 
Like, what's next? Trying to redraw the entire map of America to suit his ego? 
The thought alone is giving me hives 
Can't believe we're even having to deal with this kind of stuff in 2025 
"The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall" - Nelson Mandela 
. It's not like he's made it easy for himself with all the controversy surrounding him... anyway, I guess you could say his approval ratings are a reflection of how well that's going 
. But seriously, can't we just get some decent news for once? This whole impeachment drama is getting old 
he's basically saying his entire fate as president depends on him winning some congressional seats like that's gonna happen. i mean 42-45% approval rating? that's like a joke, dude. and now he's trying to gerrymander the system to ensure republican control it's just so sad to see how badly he wants to hold onto power.
he's basically threatening to be impeached if they don't win the midterms it's like "you do me a favor by not trying to remove me" 
gerrymandering is just shady, can we please have fair elections for once? 
The whole "be careful what you wish for" thing comes to mind with Trump's warnings 
. Can't say I'm convinced about the Republicans' chances, though 
newsflash: if republicans don't win, maybe they shouldn't be trying to rig the system with gerrymandering in the first place 
. maybe he should focus on getting his own stuff together instead of trying to control everyone else 
. This gerrymandering stuff is a low blow, can't we just let the people vote already? 
. Trump's approval rating is already low, so it's not like he's got a ton of wiggle room 
.
they need to focus on the issues not just party survival lol gerrymandering is so shady tho, cant let politicians play games with democracy 
... like Trump's impeachment threat is a big deal 
.
it could be a major blow to their party's credibility 
!
. Anyway, I hope this helps clarify things!
