In a quickly arranged interview, Trump told Fox News, ‘I don’t know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job,” adding ‘I give myself an A+. I don’t think any President has ever done what I have done.’ (Fact: Trump’s average approval rate is 39 percent across his term.)
After shocking revelations from his ex-lawyer Michael Cohen, the White House is scrambling.
“If I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash, I think everybody would be very poor,” Trump said in response to a question from Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt, who asked if he believes Democrats would try to impeach him if they win back control of Congress. “You would see numbers that you wouldn’t believe.”
Responding to Michael Cohen’s admission that he paid off two porn stars on behalf of the Trump, the President argued:
‘He made the deals,’ said Trump of payments to two women, Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal. ‘Later on I knew.’ This despite many taped interviews when he consistently denied knowing nothing about the hush payments.
In a familiar song, he blamed everything on Obama (yes, really.)
‘There’s such corruption. Before I got here, it’s from before I got here. It’s the Obama administration. And you look at what happened. They surveilled my campaign, it’s very simple.’
Stay tuned.
