BATTLE CREEK, Michigan, United States (AFP) – Donald Trump likes a fight and he likes a show and Wednesday – with impeachment voted right at the moment he was addressing a campaign rally hundreds of miles away in Michigan – he got both things on steroids.
By a twist of fate, a long planned Trump rally in the small city of Battle Creek, Michigan, not only coincided with the day of his impeachment back in Washington.
The historic vote in the House of Representatives actually took place as the US President spoke to around 7,000 of his most diehard supporters – blue collar voters dressed in work boots and camouflage hunting gear.
“We want Trump, we want Trump,” they chanted before he even came out.
For a President itching to vent his anger against rival Democrats, against the media, and every other of the many forces he claims are conspiring against him, what could have been better?
Trump did not resemble a politician on the ropes.
He resembled typical high-energy, angry, joking, conspiracy-minded Trump – only angrier.
“The Democrats are declaring their deep hatred and disdain for the American voter,” Trump said to boos and cheers.
“They’ve been trying to impeach me from day one. They’ve been trying to impeach me from before I ran,” he said.
The Democratic-led House made the Republican businessman only the third president in US history subjected to the humiliation of impeachment.
After a marathon 10-hour debate, lawmakers voted to impeach him for abuse of power, by pressuring UkraineR
