According to him, the Democrats have declared war on American democracy with his impeachment.
“In reality, they are not after me but after you. I’m just in the way
“You are declaring war on American democracy. You are the one interfering. We did nothing wrong; this is just an excuse.
“You are the one obstructing justice. With today’s illegal unconstitutional and partisan impeachment, the do-nothing Democrats are declaring their deep hatred and disdain for the American voters.
“Have you seen my polls?” Trump said.
“After three years of sinister witch hunts, hoaxes, scams, the House Democrats are trying to nullify the ballots of tens of millions of patriotic Americans,” he said.
President Trump further called on his supporters to “vote the house speaker, Pelosi out of office.
“Americans will show up by the tens of millions next year to vote Pelosi the hell out of office,” Trump added.
