Trump questions impeachment talk after stock market hits record high

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 they’re actually talking impeachment!?" Trump tweeted. "Will I ever be given credit for anything by the Fake News Media or Radical Liberal Dems? NO COLLUSION!"

The S&P 500 and Nasdaq composite closed at record highs on Tuesday, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 26,656.39, 1.1 percent short of an all-time high.

Trump has regularly taken credit for good news on the stock market, and he has previously questioned how lawmakers could move to impeach "somebody who’s done a great job."

wages stuck in cement. Baby boomers are retiring. So there are jobs but no wage pressure. So the markets for the well off can roar.

President Trump has long claimed that he had nothing to fear from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation—but 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. I’m fucked,” before ripping into Sessions for recusing himself from the investigation.

Spoken like a real innocent man.

as if his mere presence in the WH has brought us to where we are.

Let's just stop dancing around this, as we did with the lying, the f**k thinks he is a dictator.
