As House convenes on impeachment, Trump declares disbelief

President Donald Trump woke up in White House Wednesday morning and expressed utter disbelief that he will likely become just third U.S. president to be impeached by House of Representatives.

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

“Can you believe that I will be impeached today by Rical Left, Do thing Democrats, AND I DID THING WRONG! A terrible Thing,” Trump tweeted. “Re Transcripts. This should never happen to ar President again. Say a PRAYER!”

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

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

Rep. Kevin McCarthy, House mirity leer, and Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, said y were among GOP lawmakers who huddled with Trump at White House Tuesday evening to talk strategy about Wednesday’s hearing and likely Senate trial that follow early next year.

But McCarthy insisted that Trump remained focused on moving his nda even as his legacy will forever be marred by impeachment.

“Anybody else this would be traumatic for m,” said McCarthy, who ted that Trump in recent days has hosted White House holiday parties and will he to 2020 battleground state of Michigan Wednesday evening for a campaign rally. “I’ve never seen a man so strong...He is focused on what American people need.”

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told “”Fox & Friends” Trump will have plenty to say about impeachment vote at his evening campaign rally in Battle Creek.
