Trump Lashes Out at Impeachment Probe and Pelosi

“President Trump used foul language, fierce political attacks and personal grievance to light up his supporters at a rally here Friday night, turning up the volume on his re-election campaign rhetoric for the second day in a row,” the New York Times reports.

“The president lashed out at the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, saying that the top Democrat in Congress ‘hates this country’ and lashing out at her decision to begin an impeachment inquiry into his efforts to get foreign countries to dig up damaging information on his rivals.”

Politico: “It’s the same warlike strategy Trump has employed throughout his presidency: complain relentlessly about partisan constraints on his power, furiously berate political opponents, and use the victim card to bond with Americans who feel similarly betrayed by the political system. And yet, it’s unlike anything voters have seen before.”
