Trump responds to Senate trial acquittal: ABC News Live
24/7 coverage of breaking news and live events

President Donald Trump declared victory over impeachment at a rambling self-congratulatory White House event Thursday, carried live on national TV, calling the investigations into his presidency "evil" and Democrats "vicious as hell" as Republican allies laughed and applauded.

"It was evil, it was corrupt, it was dirty cops, it was leakers and liars," Trump said. His remarks, in the White House East Room, were meant to be a "celebration," he said, "after we were treated unbelievably unfairly."

There's no need for that. He'll only tell you lies. All the officers were disloyal. They were always fighting me. If the crew wanted their shirt-tails out, they'd let them. Take the tow line … defective equipment. But they began spreading wild rumours about steaming in circles, - and then "Old Yellowstain". I was to blame for Maryk's incompetence. Maryk was the perfect officer, but not Queeg. But the strawberries, that's where I had them. I proved with geometric logic that a duplicate key to the icebox existed. I could have produced that key. They were protecting some officer …


Naturally, I can only cover these things from memory. If I've left anything out, just ask me specific questions - and I'll be glad to answer them one by one.

One of his overall themes is hurting those that opposed him. He clearly said that he had "his best people on it." I shudder to think what he is going to do. We have to fight this asshole.
