Trump attacks everyone after escaping impeachment: “Dishonest people”

WASHINGTON. “As you all know, my family, our great country and your president have been subjected to a terrible test by some very dishonest and corrupt people”. These are the first words of Donald Trump, president of the United States of America, in his first public appearance – his speech at the National Prayer Breakfast – after the Senate vote that saved him from the impeachment on which the Democrats had all aimed. It is the day of revenge. The day Trump talks to the Americans by officially launching his reelection without the burden of a procedure against him. And it is, in its style, the day of the sneer against political rivals.

“They knew I was innocent – said Trump – but they wanted to inflict political damage on me. There was the witch hunt for Russiagate and Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party raised millions of dollars to harm me. These are things that should not happen to any president and I don’t know if other presidents would have been able to bear it ». The American president said he had to go through hell “without doing anything bad in my life.” So the first personal attacks on his detractors. “If I hadn’t fired James Comey (the former director of the FBI, editor’s note) that was a disaster, I probably wouldn’t be here right now.” Then the press: “” Absolved “, is the only good title I’ve ever had on the Washington Post.” The speaker of the Chamber, Nanzy Pelosi “is a horrible person” and the manager of the impeachment Adam Schiff “is malicious and horrible”. There is also for Mitt Romney, his party mate, the only Republican to have voted in favor of his impeachment: “Use religion as a crutch – said Trump – But you know … he is a failed presidential candidate, they are things that happen when you fail so much ».

Then the positive part, the one that officially launches his campaign for re-election. «In recent months we have done incredible things, the same in recent years. We have had great successes for three years now ».
