Long Response:
1. Trump is trying to get Republicans to support him against the impeachment investigation. He refers the Democrats constant push for his impeachment as "a lynching". He even goes to the extent of using racial insults against black Democratic congresswomen to enhance his point. This connection between the two events has caused serious emotional flashbacks to people who experienced losses from lynching.

2. Lynching means to kill someone for an alleged offense without a legal trial.

3. Post Civil War through the 1950s, many white racist groups lynched many black people for white supremacy. Although not exclusively, the majority of lynching was of black people in the southern states for alleged reasons without a legal trial or even one at all.

4. Trump compares his impeachment situation with lynching due to how unfair and unreasonable he feels the Democrat's claims against him are.

5. Personally, I don't think that Trump's analogy was very appropriate for this sort of situation. He was way too extreme with his comparison, and he didn't really make a good impression of himself on the Republican Party. However, I feel that the term "lynching" was a successful method for illustrating the extremity of the situation, showing how Trump truly felt about it, and drawing much more attention to the situation whether it was good, Trump being so serious that people question the credibility of the Democratic Party, or bad, Trump being seen as desperate and racist.
