I'm from Korea, and we impeached our president last year, mostly because he declared martial law, but he was also a terrible president, and no one really liked him being there, even his own party.

Why can't the U.S do the same, if Donald Trump is so bad? Why are some Americans even supporting him?

An impeachment is basically a political indictment. It's the step before the political equivalent of a trial, not the result of it.

Trump "won" both his trials because the Senate was too corrupt to vote to remove.

    I suppose a system is free from corruption as much as the people in it/controlling it. ๐Ÿ™ˆ

    All states ultimately serve one class of society, which rests on who owns and controls the large firms and key industries, ie which form of ownership is the principle aspect of the economy and therefore forms the basis of the mode of production and distribution. Capitalist economies always serve capitalists, while socialist countries serve the working class.
