Trump Freaks Out on Twitter the Minute He Returns to DC, ‘How Can You Impeach a President…’

Donald Trump took aim at the Democrats pushing to advance impeachment proceedings against him, as the dust settles from special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian election interference.

And as usual, Trump is trying to gaslight Americans.

“How do you impeach a Republican President for a crime that was committed by the Democrats? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” Trump tweeted.

Trump hit Twitter shortly after arriving back in Washington from an Easter Sunday spent at Mar-a-Lago in Florida.

Trump’s tweet came after several Democratic leaders in Congress made clear on Sunday that the possibility of impeachment was still on the table, despite opposition from Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and others.

“Impeachment is likely to be unsuccessful,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, told ABC’s “This Week,” before adding: “It may be that we undertake an impeachment nonetheless.”

Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, and Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, expressed similar views on the Sunday show circuit, insisting Democrats would continue to look into the issue.

Twitter shared its thoughts:
