Trump says he's not concerned about being impeached: 'The people would revolt'

President Trump said during an interview with Reuters on Tuesday that he's not concerned about being impeached, adding he thinks "the people would revolt if that happened."

"It’s hard to impeach somebody who hasn’t done anything wrong and who’s created the greatest economy in the history of our country,” Trump told the news service in an Oval Office interview.

“I’m not concerned, no," he added. "I think that the people would revolt if that happened."

Democrats have invoked the possibility of impeachment more frequently in the wake of a Friday sentencing memo for Trump's former personal attorney Michael Cohen.

In the filing, federal prosecutors in New York said for the first time that Cohen acted “in coordination with and at the direction” of Trump when he illegally organized nondisclosure payments to two women alleging affairs with the president.

Cohen has pleaded guilty to two campaign finance violations in connection with the payoff schemes.

Trump during the Reuters interview claimed Cohen's payments ahead of the presidential election did not violate campaign finance laws.

The president in a tweet on Monday accused Democrats of "wrongly" calling the payments a "campaign contribution," insisting they were a "simple private transaction."

2. Keep telling yourself that,

Individual 1.

[Me.]

3. They're Already Revolted

[babylonsister]

4. Yes. And some are just plain revolting. nt

[C_U_L8R]

5. He's delusional

[dalton99a]

6. Not revolt, rejoice

It's the opposite, as usual

[LovingA2andMI]

16. Damn Straight....

7. I'm sure that around the country, basements inhabited by unemployed incels

will be alive with the frantic tapping of computer keys, as the MAGAt revolution begins - to be followed by the menacing whirring of Medicare-funded Hoverrounds carrying angry red-capped retirees to rallies at Denny's.

8. His people would revolt. Neither he nor they will go gently into that good night,

and it would be a mistake for us to treat this as a joke. I would expect trouble, so it's best to anticipate it and be ready.

14. Agreed. The same people that were talking about a revolution/civil war when President Obama

was in office are now saying that they "would defend the president even if it meant civil war". They were on lock n load then and still are now.

17. I think you're correct.

Trump is planting the seeds now, how much further will he try to incite them when he's really cornered? It's something that has to be prepared for, at a minimum.

9. The people would have mother-all of block parties

[democratisphere]

12. Can't wait for that day!

[Zambero]

10. So in other words...

Revolting people will not be pleased!

[malaise]

11. He doesn't know the people

They will soon turn on him - many have already jumped ship and disowned him.

[babylonsister]

15. The midterms proved many have already turned.

He's a joke, a disaster, a danger, an embarrassment and a moron. He does need to be locked up.

13. There have been many revolutions in the history of civilization. Most of them have been led by

people of overt action or people with non-violent perseverance. Trump is neither of these. He has no philosophical ideas that lead him to any type of victory of pacifist ideas nor does he have any gallant side that would lead to a victory at arms as he leads from the front lines. Fox News provides his generals. He is a eunuch President without a base strong enough to do anything other than destroy what is remaining of the once Republican party or blackmail them into supporting him. There are certainly some people misguided enough to perform acts of violence on his behalf. We need to point out his own cowardice and how willingly he will abandon then when the breezes blow.
