President Trump on Tuesday lamented that some Democrats are discussing the prospect of impeachment proceedings on the same day that the stock market closed at record highs, suggesting he should be given more credit.
"You mean the Stock Market hit an all-time record high today and theyre actually talking impeachment!?" Trump tweeted. "Will I ever be given credit for anything by the Fake News Media or Radical Liberal Dems? NO COLLUSION!"

(70,516 posts)President Trump has long claimed that he had nothing to fear from Special Counsel Robert Muellers investigationbut according to an anecdote in the report, he was terrified when he found out Mueller was appointed. When former Attorney General Jeff Sessions told Trump that Mueller had been appointed on May 17, 2017, Trump reportedly responded, Oh my God. This is terrible. This is the end of my presidency. Im fucked, before ripping into Sessions for recusing himself from the investigation.
Spoken like a real innocent man.
