Trump told Republicans he doesn't want impeachment on his 'resume': report

President Trump privately told House Republicans that he is worried about the effect impeachment would have on his legacy, Axios reported Sunday.

Trump said impeachment is a "bad thing to have on your resume" in a call with House Republicans, a source on the call told Axios.

Two other sources confirmed the substance of the remark to the news outlet, but one said they remembered Trump phrasing it as "you don't want it [impeachment] on your resume."

Even though the real trial takes place in the Senate.

An impeachment would be devastating to him.

Emperor of the USA? Have any aides or senior advisors explained that we don't have a king or emperor?

7. He's 73 and (supposedly) a billionaire. WTF does he care about even having a resume?

Honestly, that is in the running for one of the dumbest things reported to have come out of his mouth.

They will incur his wrath if it does.

That's how he gets his point across, just like a mob boss.
