“This is not a press conference, this is not a speech, it is a celebration. “It was a jovial and freewheeling Donald Trump who spoke from the White House on Thursday of his acquittal before the Senate in his impeachment trial. In front of his allies, elected officials and collaborators, who welcomed him with a standing-ovation, the American president, for more than an hour, settled his accounts, thanked his supporters and attacked his enemies, denouncing an impeachment “Unfair and ashamed”, “for the country and my family”.
Trump just said “bullshit”.

“We went through a difficult ordeal all together. It was an unfair situation. This witch hunt started as soon as we came down this staircase [pour annoncer sa campagne en 2015]. First there was “Russia, Russia, Russia”, it was bullshit, “began the American president, using a vocabulary rarely heard in the White House. Attacking “ripoux cops, liars and moles”, he reviewed the twists and turns, from the dismissal of James Comey to the Mueller report. But it’s a thing of the past: “A total acquittal, I never thought these words would be so sweet to my ears,” smiled the White House tenant, brandishing the front page. Washington Post.
“A perfect phone call”
Donald Trump attacked Democrats Adam Schiff (“a vicious character”) and Nancy Pelosi (“a horrible person”), conductors of a “hoax”. “They took a perfect phone call (to the Ukrainian president) and made it up,” said the president. “The Democrats are united, they would have voted my impeachment for crossing the street,” he said with irony. And to tackle a tackle intended for the voters: “They would have done better to put as much energy to work on infrastructures or the prices of drugs. “
Even though several Republicans have denounced “inappropriate actions,” Donald Trump insists, he has “done nothing wrong.” He took the opportunity to pay Mitt Romney, who voted against him: “He invoked his faith like a crutch, I had never seen him do it. He’s a loser who lost to Obama. The President spent most of his speech thanking his supporters one by one. His lawyers, “Pat (Cipollone) and Jay (Sekulo)” were applauded at length, as was the Leader of the Senate, Mitch McConnell.
Impeachment is a thing of the past, but Democrats could still try to have John Bolton testify in the House. Donald Trump is ready: “I beat them, I will beat them again. “
