Trump announces his IMPEACHMENT DEFENSE TEAM: himself.

Trump declares himself his own impeachment defense team.

Trump declares himself his own impeachment defense team.




During yet another extended South Lawn ran rant while a chopper awaited, President Donald Trump disavowed any election shenanigans within his administration and those defending him against impeachment, saying, “I don’t have teams,” before adding “I am the team.”

Speaking to reporters and jumping from topic to topic, before complaining about what he considers a conspiracy against his presidency, Trump portrayed himself as a man alone.

“Here’s the thing, I don’t have teams, everyone is talking about teams, I’m the team,” he shouted over the chopper noise.”I did nothing wrong. This has been going on from before I got elected.”

“This was going on from the insurance policy,” he added in reference to a debunked conspiracy theory.

Narcissists always think they know more than anyone else does, and they won't let anyone else make decisions for them. It's their way or nothing, period.

The good thing is they are their own worst enemy. I am sure trump will make things worse instead of better, and will end up pissing of more republican in the process, which will make republicans in the Senate make a choice to protect trump, or save themselves.
