In an interview that aired Thursday morning, Fox and Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt asked Trump whether he believed Democrats would impeach him if they win more seats in Congress after the November elections.
“Well, you know, I guess it says something like high crimes and all,” Trump responded. “I don’t know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job. I will tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash. I think everybody would be very poor because without this thinking, you would see — you would see numbers that you wouldn’t believe in.”
Trump went on to claim Hillary Clinton would have been bad for economic growth, brag about the Republican tax cut (that in reality, increased the federal deficit), and say that China likes him “very much.” (China-U.S. tensions are on the rise, and the Pentagon recently put out a report that said the Chinese military is “training for strikes against U.S. and allied targets.”)
To be clear, a president’s impeachment does not hinge on how the economy is performing, or on whether China likes the United States at a particular moment.
“I give myself an A+,” Trump said during the Fox & Friends interview. “I don’t think any president has ever done what I have done.”
Since when is somebody fighting something bad happening to them news?
Henry Brooks
asked if he thought he'd be impeached if dems win. Answers question. Impeachment mentioned over 200 times on MSNBC.

Trump is a JIVE ASS SUCKA' who gets AWWWL the Foxy Ladies

In the movie Michael Clayton, George Clooney plays a 'fixer', much like Michael Cohen, except Clayton is actually cool, and unlike the Trump fiasco, this story is actually INTERESTING.
Noah Thompson
"Those two counts aren't even a crime. They weren't campaign finance."
What Trump doesn't know about campaign finance law is, um, a whole lot.
He seems to believe that because he didn't give money to Cohen from the 2016 campaign account that it was totally fine to dole out tens of thousands of dollars to silence women making allegations about a candidate for president. Which it isn't. What Trump did is effectively make a campaign loan to Cohen to handle a problem for him. He never disclosed that loan. And we know for a fact that Cohen has testified that Trump "directed" and "coordinated" him to make the payments for the express purpose of influencing the election.
Brandon Gray
"But what Michael Cohen pled to weren't even campaign related. They weren't crimes."
Again, Trump simply doesn't understand – or is choosing not to understand – campaign finance laws. Simply because the money he paid to Cohen wasn't from the campaign's coffers doesn't mean it wasn't a crime. Cohen literally pleaded guilty to two campaign finance crimes on Tuesday. Like, does Trump not think the Southern District of New York is aware of what the laws surrounding campaign finance are? [Narrator voice: They are.]
Jacob Powell
"And they put the two counts of campaign violations in there but a lot of lawyers on television and also lawyers that I have say, they're – they're not even crimes."
Name one, you idiot. Seriously.
Gabriel Myers
"For 30, 40 years I've been watching flippers. Everything's wonderful and then they get 10 years in jail and they – they flip on whoever the next highest one is, or as high as you can go."
"According to a 1981 FBI memo, Trump offered to 'fully cooperate' with the bureau, proposing that FBI agents work undercover in a casino he was considering opening in Atlantic City. FBI agents even prepared an 'undercover proposal concerning the TRUMP casino' that senior agents and Trump planned to discuss, according to the document."
Jaxon Morgan
"You know, campaign violations are considered not a big deal, frankly."
Let me say again: Donald Trump is not terribly well-versed in campaign finance laws.
Caleb Ross
"But if somebody defrauded a bank and he's going to get 10 years in jail or 20 years in jail but if you can say something bad about Donald Trump and you'll go down to two years or three years, which is the deal he made."
There's a big difference between Cohen (or anyone) getting a reduced sentence because they are willing to "say something bad about Donald Trump" and what Cohen did: Agreed to plead guilty to eight felony counts and testify – under oath – that Trump directed and coordinated an end-run of campaign finance laws. This is not Michael Cohen calling Donald Trump names and getting time cut off his prison sentence. This is Michael Cohen saying the President of the United States was complicit in a crime.
Lucas White
"He (Mueller) a really nasty business transaction with me, which he never reported. I've been talking about it, he never reports it."
The "really nasty business transaction" Trump refers to here is what The New York Times reported that Trump has claimed was a dispute over fees at one of his golf clubs when the former FBI director resigned his membership in 2011. According to The Washington Post, "a spokesman for Mueller said there was no dispute when Mueller, who was FBI director at the time, left the club."
Noah Thompson
"I have great respect for what he's done in terms of what he's going through."
This is Trump's response to an Earhardt question on whether he is considering pardoning former campaign chairman Paul Manafort. Trump's response is a little bit different – OK, a LOT bit different – from how White House Secretary Sarah Sanders answered the Manafort pardon question on Wednesday afternoon. "Once again, that is not something that has been up for discussion," Sanders said.
Um, what?
Cooper Bailey
"He wasn't with the campaign long."
Manafort was Trump's de facto campaign manager from April 2016 until August 2016. That period was of critical import to Trump as he went from the frontrunner for the nomination to securing it. It was also the period of time – June 2016 to be exact – that we know Manafort as well as Donald Trump Jr. and Jared Kushner met with Russians to talk about the alleged dirt they claimed to have on Hillary Clinton.
Brody Bailey
"They surveilled my campaign, it's very simple."
The FBI surveilled Carter Page, a foreign policy aide to Trump, because they believed him to be possibility under the influence of the Russians. The surveillance warrant was approved by the FISA court and re-approved three times. This wasn't some rogue operation conducted by the so-called "deep state" within the FBI.
Jace Hill
"The immigration laws are horrible. We're doing an incredible job."
Back to back sentences. Unedited. No rhyme, reason or connection I can decipher.
John Lopez
"I don't know how you can impeach somebody who's done a great job."
This is the most astounding quote in the entire Trump interview. If you are doing a self-assessed "great job" then it is impossible for you to have broken any laws? That's literally what Trump is saying here.
Tyler Campbell
"I tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash, I think everybody would be very poor."
Remarkable. The self-regard on display here is truly staggering. The only thing that has made the economy strengthen is Trump, according to Trump. Without him? Good luck, America.
Levi Diaz
"The New York Times cannot write a good story about me. They're crazed. They're like lunatics."
Let's be clear here. Trump views "true" news as news that is good for him. "Fake news" is then news that is bad for him. For all of his talk about "fake news" he is totally uninterested in the accuracy of reporting. He is entirely fixated on whether a story reads positively or negatively for him.
Dominic Cox
"And I'll never forget, you talk about the fake news, they said Donald Trump met [Kim Jong Un] the first day it was incredible, nobody could believe I was able to do it."
So, wait. The news is fake. But Trump cites favorably in this section the fact that the news reported on the historic summit he engineered with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. But if the news is fake, then how… [head explodes]
Wyatt Martin
"So I give myself an A-plus."
Earhardt asked Trump what grade he would give himself. That Trump went with the highest possible grade really tells you everything you need to know about him.
Seriously
Hudson Gonzalez
"The only thing … I'm doing badly on is the press doesn't cover me fairly."
If I had to name my greatest weakness, I think I would probably say it's that I care too much about people. Or maybe that I am so smart it makes it hard to interact with people not as smart as me. Either one would work.
Thomas Gutierrez
"I would say I would honestly give myself an A-plus and so would many other people."
So many other people.
A+s all around!!!
Wyatt Evans
Reading comprehension, inbred. I said no charges have been made. Every president since Reagan has been threatened with impeachment by the other side.
Samuel Campbell
i want the impeachment to happen then i want it to fail and not get him kicked out. then i want him to get re-elected and watch the left shit itself in total fear. imagine watching that all unfold.
I agree with you completely. He really does remind me of a nigger
Joseph Long
GUFFAL GLOPF BTFO
Anthony Brown
When you said trump reminds you of a Nigger Gestapo, I disagreed with the Gestapo part….
Christian Flores
Doesn't take away from a person answering a direct question about a topic = guilty of said topic is a pretty retarded conclusion. And impeachment charges were brought up in the question, i.e "Do you think that the dems would charge you with impeachment?" is in fact bringing up impeachment charges. Reading comprehension is doing fine, if that is not what you meant, its your writing that could use work.
Jason Bailey
If there's any question as to whether or not he'll be running in 2020, this should answer it for you
Michael Cox
Cool fan fiction, bro!
Noah Torres
trump is the best president of all time. anyone who disagrees is ignorant of basic american history. this thread is full of kike shills.
Brayden Parker
To be honest, I'm slightly offended that you keep referring to trump as a 'stupid fucking nigger', and never even mention that he's a Cool Breeze
Gavin Ward
nigger spotted
Julian Campbell
Yo, Youngblood
some jive sucka' done taught you the FLIM FLAM, Hustla'!
Logan Lopez

Christopher Sanders
