Distinguished American University Distinguished Professor of History Allan Lichtman will be feeling delighted that he predicted the impeachment of Donald Trump. In a fiction book published on April 18, 2017, by Dey Street Books, Lichtman predicted to The Washington Post that after ascending to the presidency, Trump would later be impeached from office. Litchman is credited with accurately predicting every U.S election since 1984, using an unorthodox formula.
President Trump was impeached on Wednesday by all but two Republicans, all of whom stated that he had abused his power and placed himself about the law,in the process undermining the establishment of the founders of the American Constitution. All of the Republicans voted in defence of Trump along partisan lines.

He makes reference to the Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections and links between Trump associates and Russian officials, claiming that such ties could be used in efforts to impeach President Trump.

The author at one point suggests that impeachment could be brought for actions by the president intended to benefit himself financially based on inside information about economic dealings. The professor could probably be forgiven if he argued that Trump’s eventual impeachment was connected with him attempting benefit himself politically by using inside contacts in Ukrain to discredit Joe Biden. Lichtman observes the president has not gained any knowledge from a study of earlier key events in U.S. politics: “A president who seems to have learned nothing from history is abusing and violating the public trust and setting the stage for a myriad of impeachable offences;;, heid
