The Commander in Chief responded, “Well, you can’t impeach somebody that’s doing a great job, that’s the way I view it.” He added, “I’ve probably done more in the first two years than any President, any administration in the history of our country.”
Trump pointed out a list of accomplishments that included tax cuts, regulations, helping vets, rebuilding of the military. “I can give you a list, I think it’s pages long, so I think it’s very hard to impeach somebody that’s done a great job.”
He noted that Speaker Nancy Pelosi admitted during the meeting, “we’re not looking to impeach you.”
The President added there was no Russia collusion and that he didn’t need Russians to help him win Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. “I won them because I went there and I campaigned hard. My opponent didn’t go there enough, and she lost. That’s why I won, not because of Russia.”
