January 1, Trump Was Right Again: Democrats Eye Third Impeachment Despite Historic Midterm Defeat

Wyatt’s Take

• Trump sits down with 60 Minutes and tells the truth that Democrats have already weaponized impeachment twice against him for political gain.
• President Trump says he can’t imagine a third impeachment because his record the last two years has been the strongest in presidential history.
• Even Kamala Harris admits Democrats should drop the impeachment obsession and focus on kitchen table issues instead.

President Donald Trump sat down with CBS News’ “60 Minutes” on Sunday and expressed doubts that Democrats will attempt to impeach him a third time once they retake Congress in January.

Trump spoke with correspondent Ross Douthat for his first sit-down interview since the midterm elections.

Despite his past conflicts with the Democratic Party, Trump told Douthat that he could “very easily” make a deal with Democrats, citing his first term as an example.

“Well, I did it for four years,” Trump said. “You know…what they did with me was, there’s never been [such] weaponization. They impeached me twice. And there are those that say that worked out to my advantage.”

“Do you think they’ll impeach you again?” Douthat asked.

“I can’t imagine it, you know?” Trump responded. “Look, what have I done? I’ve had the best two years in the history of the presidency.”

Trump’s comments come after several Democratic figures have called for investigations and subpoenas against members of the Trump administration.

However, other Democratic Party members, including former Vice President Kamala Harris, have discouraged the incoming Congress from focusing too much on impeaching the president.

Although Trump expressed a willingness to work with the Democratic Congress in the present, he admitted to Douthat that, even “before the judgment throne of God,” he doubted that he could forgive some of his enemies, like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi or former FBI Director James Comey.

“I found them to be extremely dishonest people, very bad people, very bad for our country. I love our country far more than I can love people and people like that,” Trump said.

He added, “I think they were very bad people and I dislike, I can use the word ‘hate,’ I do hate some of my enemies. I think they’re…they’ve been terrible. Look what they’ve put me through, the weaponization.”

Douthat repeatedly asked Trump whether he could find it in his heart to forgive his enemies, but Trump remained firm in his answer.

“I probably cannot do that, no, because I do hate some of my enemies, and I always will,” Trump said.

During Trump’s first term, he was impeached by the House in 2019 but was acquitted by the Senate months later. After the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, the president was impeached again, but was ultimately acquitted by the Senate.
