President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that there would be chaos across the country if he were impeached. “I’m not concerned, no,” the president told Reuters reporters about
his potential impeachment during an interview in the Oval Office. “I think that the people would revolt if that happened.”
Trump brushed aside the latest assertions from federal prosecutors that during the 2016 election he coordinated and directed Michael Cohen’s efforts to silence women who claimed
they had affairs with him, in violation of federal campaign finance law.
The president also said if there were any laws violated by the hush money payments, it was Cohen’s fault, not his. “Michael Cohen is a lawyer,” Trump said. “I assume he would know
what he’s doing.” But Trump told reporters in April that he was not aware at all of the $130,000 payment to Daniels.
In the Reuters interview on Tuesday, the president also scoffed at prosecutors’ claims that individuals in his campaign had contact with Russian officials during and after the 2016
election, despite earlier pronouncements that no such contacts had occurred. “The stuff you’re talking about is peanut stuff,” he said.
Previously, Trump repeatedly denied suggestions that his campaign, to his knowledge, had any contacts with Russians during the campaign.
Since then, he has criticized the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller, whose work informed some of the New York-based prosecutors’ charges, as a “witch hunt” and denied
that anyone on his campaign colluded with Russian officials in that country’s meddling in the 2016 election.
Trump and his political allies have previously predicted calamity if Trump were to become the third president to be impeached in American history.
It's spelled "rejoice."
I mean considering how many cultists he has blindly eating up all the shit he spews and will defend him to the death even now, I don't think he's wrong, sadly.
This fucker is going to have a call to arms to his cult if he gets impeached...
Your core voter base is revolting enough already
It'll only be a small portion that actually have the balls to do anything since the overwhelming majority of Trump supporters seem to be complete cowards. A small enough portion that they're unlikely to gain any traction which will keep the more "reasonable" ones from feeling emboldened and thus taking action.
More like they will revolt if he isn't
I do hope you are right.
Trump, it's revolting that you haven't been impeached yet.
You know we all predicted he was going to say this at some point, but for some reason it's still surprising to hear this.
Yeah that's exactly how I'm interpreting his message. His followers will revolt, after he tells them to revolt.

TL;DR nah if the Senate actually goes through with kicking Trump out after the House impeaches him, he's already lost the game and his base will dwindle so badly any serious resistance will be the exception among the lazy and chickenshit cowardly.
Trump is talking like he's a tough guy but in reality if he fears impeachment, it means he knows it's quite possible for 20 Republican senators to flip on him and agree that he should be fired. He's puffing it up like the Democrats will be able to do it all themselves because he's trying to throw bait to his cultists.
If the price for american stability is the lives of a few dangerous idiots trying to bring back civil war 2 electric boogaloo, maybe it needs to be paid sooner or later before we get another trump to replace this one.
If you're calling for a revolt to occur because of being impeached for crimes that you have personally all but admitted might get you impeached, there's a problem Trump. Not that you can see it yourself, head as high in the clouds known as egotism as they are.
This is what the second amendment is for
To keep wannabe fascists in power
Trump probably lives in such a bubble he probably honestly believes this is the case, they probably slide fake reports across his desk every morning confirming he has 99% support from the public and anyone that claims otherwise is a deepstate agent of the Killtons.
Probably? It’s been confirmed they already pretty much do.
Perfect, I'll get my blue coat!

Actually they'll probably revolt some if he isn't impeached...
Damn right they will revolt.
First the president, then all the other fuckers like him!!
of course you'd downplay him telling people to riot when he's facing consequences for his actions lol
Trump saying something stupid happens pretty much daily. I don't remember any riots when Nixon was impeached.
except Nixon didn't have a following of braindead idiots that worshiped him blindly.
The reason fox news exists is because the Republicans didn't like how Nixon was impeached, and decided to never let that happen again.
So they created a literal propaganda network.
Now we have Fox, Sinclair, and Breitbart all honking the horn of rebellion against checks and balances.
Yeah, because every time Trump supporters have tried to incite public violence has ended with a resounding victory for them.
Wait, no, it usually ends up with really out of shape white boys lying on the ground crying because someone hit them or someone took a picture of them holding a nazi flag and now they're fired.
As funny as that is, don’t forget about the actual lunatics, like the mail bombers and synagogue shooter.
We will revolt if you're not impeached and somehow snake your way into a second term after that with another round of bullshit bogus elections
The elections themselves were legitimate but Comey being forced to restart the Clinton probe combined with her lack of attention to the Rust Belt is what did her in. Also her fucking terrible VP pick
so do you, but you're not the president of a country, much less one who sold it out for 30 pieces of silver to fucking Russia, so it doesn't matter all that much to most of us. McCarthy, for all his faults, would've been angry enough to kill the orange traitor with his own hands before the CIA and FBI laid hands on him.
