During an interview with Reuters on Tuesday afternoon, President Trump suggested there would be mass chaos if Democrats follow through with their threats of impeachment.

“I’m not concerned, no,” he told Reuters. “I think that the people would revolt if that happened. … It’s hard to impeach somebody who hasn’t done anything wrong and who’s created the greatest economy in the history of our country.”

Democratic leaders have ramped up their rhetoric surrounding potential investigations they’d like to conduct once the party has control in the House in January. Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) over the weekend suggested that Michael Cohen and Trump’s hush payments before the election could be considered an “impeachable offense.”

  1. "It’s hard to impeach somebody who hasn’t done anything wrong and who’s created the greatest economy in the history of our country.”

    What’s truly frightening is that he actually believes this. Oy.

  2. Actually Dotard, people are revolted that you haven’t already been impeached…

  3. " It’s hard to impeach somebody who hasn’t done anything wrong"

    Hey, something true. Thank you for putting things into context.

  4. If he were impeached today, there would be a serious issue with public acceptance. Once the criminality of his family business and the depth of his lies about our adversaries are more publicly established, and his approval ratings dive accordingly, it will be a different matter entirely. This jerk-ball is headed straight toward ruin.

  5. tRump said there would be mass chaos if Dems followed through to impeach him. And, what kind of chaos are we experiencing now, low grade, smocking chaos? Maybe we’ll be able to test these waters as the plot gets thicker and thicker.
