Trump: You can’t impeach someone ‘doing a great job’

Source: The Hill | August 23, 2018 | Morgan Gstalter

President Trump in an interview broadcast early Thursday questioned why there are calls for his impeachment because he’s “somebody who’s done a great job.”

“Fox and Friends” host Ainsley Earhardt asked Trump if Democrats will move to impeach him if they retake the House during November’s midterm elections.

“I don’t know how you can impeach somebody who’s done a great job,” Trump responded.

Trump said from the White House gardens that the market would crash if he were forced out of office. 

“I think everybody would be very poor,” he said, before pointing to his head. “Because without this thinking, you would see numbers that you wouldn’t believe.”

If Hillary Clinton had been elected, Trump said, the gross domestic product rate would not have hit 4.1 percent this last quarter.

“Had Hillary and the Democrats gotten in, had she been president, you would have had negative growth,” he said.

Trump also touted his “great” relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping days before he is expected to impose another round of tariffs on China. Beijing is then expected to retaliate. 

“When I came in, China was a dominant force,” he told Earhardt. “Now they like me very much.”

    First of all, Donnie, you aren’t doing a great job, and secondly, impeachment depends upon whether there is wrongdoing; it doesn’t depend on overall job performance.

    Would he really keep on an employee who stole from him, but otherwise performed well in his work?

    Trump is flailing.
