As House convenes on impeachment, Trump declares disbelief

US President Donald Trump wakes in the White House and expresses utter disbelief that he will likely become just the third US president to be impeached by the House of Representatives.

With the House taking up two articles of impeachment charging Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, Trump starts his day as he often does: by airing his grievances on Twitter.

“Can you believe that I will be impeached today by the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats, AND I DID NOTHING WRONG! A terrible Thing,” Trump tweets. “Read the Transcripts. This should never happen to another President again. Say a PRAYER!”

Trump has a relatively light schedule Wednesday, but has indicated he won’t be watching the six hours of impeachment debate on the House floor.

He does, however, retweet comments by GOP lawmakers and aides on his favorite morning show, “Fox & Friends,” as they rally behind him and seek to reassure conservative voters that he remains in good spirits despite the dark mark of impeachment looming on his presidency.
