President Donald Trump declared victory on Wednesday afternoon in the wake of special counsel Robert Mueller’s congressional hearings.
Though Mueller said clearly that Trump wasn’t exonerated from criminal activity, the Russia probe was not a witch hunt and Russia’s election interference was not a hoax, Trump claimed vindication regardless.
Saying the Republicans “had a good day,” Trump said that “there was no defense to this ridiculous hoax. This witch hunt.”
Trump, who infamously demands loyalty, called the House Republicans who defended his honor during the hearings “incredible warriors.”
Trump also said it was a “devastating day for the Democrats,” a recurring talking point among Trump’s allies throughout the day.
Earlier in the day, Trump tweeted “TRUTH IS A FORCE OF NATURE” after Mueller’s hearings had concluded.

His confidence is shaken. He was completely exposed. It’s really up to Pelosi.
Donnie wouldn’t know the truth if it came up and bit him in his fat ass. His comments and rantings are all spin.
Because he is delusional.
He’s taking a victory lap and saying republicans “had a good day,” and that it’s “devastating day for the Democrats,” because it will be Reported he says these things in the press. These things will be in the ‘headlines’. And most people absorb news through headlines and in the background. So the reporting of this will make it true for the majority of busy over worked Americans who don’t have the time or are not news junkies.
For some Reason
Because his freedom depends on it.
