"As everybody knows, my family, our great country, and your president have been put through a terrible ordeal by some very dishonest and corrupt people," Trump said. "They have done everything possible to destroy us and by so doing, very badly hurt our nation. They know what they are doing is wrong, but they put themselves far ahead of our great country."
"Weeks ago, and again yesterday, courageous Republican politicians and leaders had the wisdom, fortitude and strength to do what everyone knows was right," he continued.
Entering the stage, Trump lifted up a copies of USA Today and The Washington Post with headlines reading "ACQUITTED" and "Trump Acquitted" splashed across the front pages, displaying them to the crowd.

We're in for a real treat in a couple of hours when he doesn't feel constrained by "propriety" and holds his Impeachment news conference.

Consider the USFL thing. Pete Rozelle told Trump, you will never be an NFL owner as long as I or any of my relatives have anything to say about it. Trumps response was to take the US Football League, a nice and growing-in-popularity spring football league, and destroy it in an attempt to make Trump an NFL owner through backdoor means. (Reality: Rozelle wouldnt have approved a USFL-NFL merger if Trump was still the owner of the Generals.)
Donald Trump is a psychopath. He creates chaos and destruction because he thinks its funny.
