Trump says it is foregone conclusion he will be impeached in U.S. House

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Monday it is a foregone conclusion that the Democratic-led U.S. House of Representatives will vote to impeach him over his request that Ukraine investigate a political rival as he exhorted his fellow Republicans to rally to his defense.

Trump made his comments at the beginning of a Cabinet meeting at the White House as Democrats sought to build public support for their fast-moving impeachment inquiry even as the administration pressed its efforts to stonewall the probe.

Approval of articles of impeachment in the House would prompt a Senate trial on whether to remove Trump from office. The Senate is led by Republicans, who have shown little inclination toward removing Trump though he has come under sharp criticism from Republican Senator Mitt Romney.

Asked if it was a forgone conclusion that House Democrats will vote to impeach him, Trump said yes, otherwise he would win re-election next year. Trump said Republicans need to get tougher and fight the impeachment inquiry, saying Democrats were sticking together.

“They don’t have Mitt Romney,” Trump told reporters.

1. Guess he thinks reverse psychology will work

Everyone knows the Dems would never do anything he suggests.

Total basket case.

Because Nancy Pelosi.

2. So Moscow Don has already built in

a mental barrier as to what is coming towards him. This is going to get damn interesting in the next couple of months.

Watch how the Trump Crime Syndicate goes into Hyperdrive with their shady deals. Donnies is begging for a deal with Amnesty for his Syndicate Crimes. Where is my Roy Cohn?

4. If he gets impeached and thrown out of office

he'll be safe from Putin's wrath. Getting tossed out would be the best thing for him. He has to make it look like he's fighting it. Putin should know by now that his boy just isn't up to the rigors of this job.

7. He could resign and that will prevent him from being impeached.
