The N Word. The I Word. tRump is trying to turn "impeachment" into the new N-Word.

That’s his strategy. He has no problem saying the word impeachment. He’s trying to make the word “impeachment” a word that decent people don’t utter.

I was thinking this, too. Or maybe he doesn't want footage of him saying the word? Mersky May 2019 #5
Yes. He's actually afraid of the word itself, the way people used to be afraid to say enough May 2019 #7
Nah, I think he just equates it with saying "Voldemort" in early Harry Potter books donkeypoofed May 2019 #3

I think it is more about the terror he feels when he hears it, so he can’t say it out loud. It’s another example of his immaturity.

Because then it could be played on loop.

Is there existing video of him saying the word impeachment?

I tend to mute the tv to captions, read quotes, or watch short clips. Watched all of the traitorous Helsinki shitshow with audio, and that was excruciating. Am stunned to think I may have skipped over such a moment.

....because he's an idiot and thinks saying it will make it "real".

Remember, he's been quoted as saying he hasn't changed much since he was about 8 (I say, 4). He admits he's a child - whereas many of us just call him an asswipe (or worse!).
