Here's the writer's Bluesky version of this post.

That last bit though, that he's the only US President to be impeached twice, is too narrow. Of all the hundreds of millions of people who have ever been US citizens in the past 250 years, Trump is the only US citizen to ever be impeached twice.

That's a bit of an overexaggeration though, the vast, vast, vast majority of US citizens do not ever hold elected office, and as such could never even have impeachment proceedings brought against them.

Good point, yeah. I wonder if I should be saying Trump is the only government official in the US ever to be impeached twice. It includes every president, vice president, federal official, state governor, or state judicial official that there's ever been in the US. That's probably more accurate.
