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

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:
Trump is currently an unindicted co-conspirator in felony crimes that federal prosecutors and Mueller's report say his personal lawyer committed at his direction https://t.co/xLOuKhJmvX

Gaslighting: psychological manipulation seeking to sow seeds of doubt, makes victims question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Uses persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying, attempts to destabilize the victim and delegitimize the victim's belief. Ass. https://t.co/es8pXAG2Ls

Even on Easter you choose to lie and belittle people! You have ZERO integrity! I’m embarrassed of you and for you! You are an embarrassment to the Office of the President of the United States! Disgusting, dishonest, disgraceful and disheartening!
