Trump: "Hard to impeach someone who hasn't done anything wrong & who’s created the greatest economy in the history of our country"

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he was not concerned that he would get impeached and that payments made ahead of the 2016 election by his former personal attorney Michael Cohen to two women did not violate campaign finance laws.

"It's hard to impeach somebody who hasn't done anything wrong and who's created the greatest economy in the history of our country," Trump told Reuters in an Oval Office interview.

"I'm not concerned, no. I think that the people would revolt if that happened," he said.

Prosecutors on Friday sought prison time for Cohen, Trump's self-proclaimed "fixer," for the payments, which they said were made in "coordination with and at the direction of" Trump, as well as on charges of evading taxes and lying to Congress.

Trump, who has criticized Cohen and called for him to get a long sentence, said his ex-lawyer should have known the rules.

"Michael Cohen is a lawyer. I assume he would know what he's doing," Trump said when asked if he had discussed campaign finance laws with Cohen.

"Number one, it wasn't a campaign contribution. If it were, it's only civil, and even if it's only civil, there was no violation based on what we did. OK?"

Asked about prosecutors' assertions that a number of people who had worked for him met or had business dealings with Russians before and during his 2016 presidential campaign, Trump said: "The stuff you're talking about is peanut stuff."

What's with this man saying "it wasn't" then following up with "but if it was.. "

 

[Forearms]

LOL... I hope he realizes that no one is going to bat for him should impeachment become a reality. What a doofus.

Are you feeling it now Mr. Krabs

 

[shnurgleton]

If this is the best it's ever been then it's hard to say that America has ever been great at all

 

[Hollywood Duo]

In reality he's thinking about it constantly

 

[Deleted member 2145]

he's not wrong

he's also not that person

 

[Lemon Crest]

His slow and steady crumbling is giving me such life.

Fuck Trump.

 

[Pet]

That's... not how it works.

Also, he's definitely getting impeached.


Also, saying you think people will revolt? Fuck you, "President."

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did...
You deserved it.

Boy is spooked. SPOOKED! 👻👻👻👻👻

 

[Emwitus]

So in 2 years you created the greatest economy....? Alright Jan

 

[Kyra]

When trump is out of office i want a huge obnoxious bumper sticker that says "It was never yours." on it.

 

[Officer Big Mac]

My lawyer went to Trump University. I'm sure he knows what he's doing.

 

[Foffy]

He's gonna hide behind the economy he's burning.

You know he's done the second this shit crashes. That's his only "wall" thus far.

 

[DanarchyReigns]

That's not how it works, that's not how any of this works.

Jeez, it's no wonder all of Trump's ventures went bankrupt, he doesn't know anything.

 

[TrojanAg]

The greatest economy doesn't plummet 800 points in a single day.

 

[TI92]

cannot wait for this orange baboon to be out of office already.

 

[thefit]

Tell that to Nixon who despite being a crooked piece of shit was an actual accomplished politician with a lot of accomplishments as president a big one being opening diplomacy and business with China.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Oh yeah he's going to incite riots.

 

[Sagroth]

Motherfucker is already laying the groundwork for calling for violence when he leaves office. Scum.

 

[TaySan]

"It's hard to impeach somebody who hasn't done anything wrong ..." Righhhht. ok.

 

[rjinaz]

What not to say as President: That people will riot as a result of you.

he was smart enough to step away but is trump? i can see him refusing to step down as everything burns around him.

 

[Pooh]

The episode titles write themselves

Season 7, Episode 4: "Peanut Stuff"

 

[Miles]

He's absolutely right. That said I don't think he's talking about himself.

 

[Kapryov]

I believe we have things called "laws" that determine if something is "wrong" or not

 

[III-V]

I would be surprised if the house doesn't impeach him. Beyond that, I don't expect much if anything to happen in terms of consequences.

 

[alexi52]

I've never in all my life have seen such a severe case of combined narcissism and delusion, it's like he's a fucking cartoon character

 

[starpower]

still riding obama's economic coat tails i see

 

[Strike]

Who is he talking about? Is he referring to himself because neither of those things are true.

Narcissism.

 

[onadesertedisland]

I thought he didn't have any business with the Russians? Now he admits it, but downplays it? Dude is a pathological liar. Every word out of his mouth is a lie.

 

[RailWays]

Well he is neither of those things so impeach away!

 

[Deleted member 1086]

We'll see

 

[Hiphopopotamus]

[Kitsunelaine]

You're right, Mr. Trump. It's hard to impeach someone who hasn't done anything wrong.

Unfortunately, that isn't you.

 

[Deleted member 31817]

He's gonna be in for a rude awakening when theres no country wide revolt after the house impeachment and just some of his nutters getting upset

 

[bremon]

Peanuts haha good grief! Peanuts is how much grey matter he has in his skull to devote to shit outside of sitting in his room stress eating thinking about his empire crumbling.

 

[nded]

Yeah it'd be pretty hard to impeach the person trump described, but I don't see what that has to do with him.

 

[Bronx-Man]

He was further quoted as saying, "You can't lynch Marshawn if Tom Brady throwin to me"

 

[BobLablow]

There's that cry to his cult to riot when he gets impeached.

Fuck this sack of shit.

 

[blinky]

The guy unfortunately has a point that if the S&P were up where it was a few months ago, he would have some i-frames. But it isn't and he doesn't, nor should he.

I see your point, but Nixon also literally committed treason with China to sabotage the Vietnam peace talks (resulting in around 1 million deaths by the extension of the war), such treason being long known about but now definitively proven with documents released over the last few years. So, not the best example. Hmm, or is it?
