If Trump was just impeached, does that mean he's still President?

As far as I understand it, impeachment is a process to remove an official from office. If Biden is president, wouldn't that mean Trump couldn't be impeached, as he's already out of office? Can anyone clear this up for me? If it wasn't an impeachment, what just happened? A double-reverse opposite-day impeachment? A temper tantrum?

I understand that. I'm just wondering: Is impeaching Trump an admission that Biden's "victory" is illegitimate?

Naw. The Democrats engage in double-think. What is true for their enemies is not true for them. If the Republicans tried to impeach Biden when he was out of office, it would be an admission that Biden was still president; but when the Democrats try to impeach Trump out of office, it's just a just and reasonable punishment for all of Trump's deplorable crimes ... none of which the Democrats can prove, because, hey, there aren't any Trump crimes. See, double-think. 1984 is the Democrat work book.

I hope you write for a living because you're really good at it.

Trump was impeached on January 13th. He was still President at the time. Impeachment by the House and trial by Senate are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.

Thank you. That clears things up.
