WASHINGTON - U.S. President Donald Trump celebrated his acquittal on impeachment charges in a free-wheeling, caustic speech on Thursday that drew on White House pomp to underscore the fact that he remained in office.
After walking down a red carpet to a standing ovation from scores of Republican lawmakers, administration officials and conservative media figures in the East Room of the White House, Trump re-aired old grievances and accused Democrats of staging a “corrupt” effort to undermine his presidency in a speech that lasted more than an hour.
Speaking without a teleprompter, he referred to the 22-month investigation by former U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller into his election campaign’s possible contacts with Russia during the 2016 election campaign, using a profanity.
“It was all bullshit,” he said.
“I’ve done things wrong in my life, I will admit ... but this is what the end result is,” Trump said, holding up a copy of the Washington Post with the headline “Trump acquitted.”
The Republican president then handed the newspaper to his wife, Melania, and said maybe they would frame it.

Thanks! McGraff!
They conveniently left out part of the quote about making mistakes in his life. “but never on purpose” was omitted from his sentence by Reuters.
Watched the whole thing. He is masterful.
YES!! Ding! DING! ding!! Most excellent news!!! My sister a demonKKKrats but never voted just called me to discuss the SOTU and trump’s speech this morning...AND to make it short....SHE IS PISSED AT the way Nancy Pelosi handled herself in front of the nation AND she loved Trump’s speech this morning SOOOOOOOOOO.....She wants me to help her register to reelected the president!!! SHE DOES NOT WANT PELOSI EVER AGAIN TO SIT BEHIND TRUMP!!! Folks do you understand the ramifications of what Nancy did at the State of the Union?!!!! OMG!! If my sister is any indication the RATS ARE burnt TOAST!!
Similar situation here. My younger sister has always been non political. Pelosi made her see the light.
My wife too. Apolitical until the speech was torn in two.
She literally came off the couch and said, “Did you see that?” She was pissed y’all and has vowed to make sure all of her friends know what a disgrace Nan is.
From the article:
“did not bode well for the already sharply divided mood in Washington, especially in an election year.”
Once again President Trump is dividing the nation by having the unmitigated gall to defend himself. But attempting to impeach him for nothing is not divisive at all.
Thanks.
The mediots cannot give our President positive coverage!
President Trump’s comments about Romney and Pelosi (not actually naming them) were 100 percent dead-on accurate.
“Once again President Trump is dividing the nation by having the unmitigated gall to defend himself. But attempting to impeach him for nothing is not divisive at all.”
By defending himself, Trump is such an evil bastard.
