The commentary I'm critiquing this time around, (http://www.counterpunch.org/2017/03/10/on-and-beyond-the-removal-of-a-jackass-president-impeachment-not-required/) is a very humorous (in my opinion) , and factual critique in itself, of Donald Trump. This commentary can be found on Counterpunch.org and is titled "On and Beyond the Removal of a Jackass President: Impeachment Not Required.
The commentary begins with a reference to the United States Constitution, specifically Section 4 of the 25th Amendment, which explains the procedure of impeachment. The text that follows this introduction is organized by subject, with very anti-trump worded titles, such as:
1. “The Open Madness of Candidate Trump”
2. “Insane Clown President”
3. “Saturday Morning Meltdown: Bad Grandpa Launches PhonetapGate.”
Given that the piece appears on a liberal news source, the author Paul Street is also the author of many liberal positioned books, and the entire page is filled with pretty derogatory references of Trump, we can reasonably assume that the intended audience is liberal citizens and anyone else who has had enough of Trump and his administration. Paul Street has a list of prestigiously awarded published books which gives his commentary authority and credibility.
In arguing for the impeachment of Trump, which I absolutely agree with, Paul Street cites Trump's ignorance of policy, lack of professional poise, and even goes as far as to label his actions as insanity. He also argues that Trumps lack of professionalism, which shows itself often via Twitter and live speeches, misrepresents a moral standard that should certainly be upheld by the leader of a nation. Overall I strongly agree with this commentary both in it's serious political stance and it's use of humor, aimed at Trump.
