Trump: 'I don't feel like I'm being impeached'
'We have the greatest economy in the history of our country,' Trump says
President Trump responded to what it feels like to be impeached, the day after the House him for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
"I don't feel like I'm being impeached because it's a hoax," Trump told the press pool on Thursday following his meeting with Rep. Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey who the president announced would leave the Democratic Party and join the Republican Party. Van Drew was the rare Democrat who opposed impeachment.
"It's a set-up. It's a horrible thing that they did," added Trump about the impeachment.
"We're doing things that nobody's ever done before."
As he did Wednesday night during a rally in Battle Creek, Michigan, Trump stated how well the American economy is doing, reiterating how "we have the greatest economy in the history of our country."
