Trump Gets Humiliating Response After Claiming He’s Best Ever

Donald Trump’s rosy view of himself got a jolt of reality Friday.

In an interview with Punchbowl News, reporter Jake Sherman mentioned the possibility of Democrats impeaching the president if they regain the House in the midterms.

Trump, who was impeached twice during his first term, deflected.

“Well, a lot of people are saying I’m one of the greatest presidents ever,” he began.

Sherman interjected.

“They’re not saying that, though,” he said of Democrats.

“Yeah,” Trump, 80, replied, “but they know—they see the results.”

As Trump was making a series of hyperbolic claims, Sherman repeated his question about impeachment.

After a long pause, Trump replied, “It’s hard to believe they could.”

Democratic lawmakers have already introduced at least two House resolutions calling for Trump’s impeachment over actions he has taken in his second term. One resolution cites “abuse of presidential power by calling for the execution of members of Congress” and “abuse of presidential power to intimidate federal judges in violation of the separation of powers and independence of the judiciary.” Another lists 13 articles, including “militarization of domestic law enforcement,” “serial unconstitutional detentions and deportations,” and “retaliation against constitutionally protected speech or association.”

In the same interview with Punchbowl, Trump had interesting things to say about House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who would likely have control over any impeachment efforts if his party is in the majority again.

While Trump had called Jeffries “Low IQ” and a “THUG” last year, he now considers him “a nice guy.”

When asked if he could do business with Jeffries, Trump replied, “Yeah, I think so.”

“Look, people are harsh on me, I’m harsh on them,” Trump said. “It’s part of the world… But I’d probably get along with him very well.”

Until then, Trump and the GOP have to navigate Americans’ negative feelings about the economy and the Iran war, among other concerns. But Trump on Friday denied that he was on the receiving end of any criticism, despite his own voters telling him so. Instead, he tried to shift the blame to the party that he leads.

“The question is, will they vote?” Trump said. “They’re angry at Republicans, but they’re not angry at me.”
