The United States has a long history of mob violence stoked by white politicians in the service of rich white Americans. What was unusual this time is that the white mob turned on the white politicians, rather than the people of color who are usually the victims." -Jeffrey Sachs (Economist)

It would be nice to know he couldn't attempt to run again in 4 years. That's the only benefit besides a petty "only president to be impeached twice" record lol
