Trump to House Republicans: If we don't win midterms, I'll get impeached

WASHINGTON, Jan 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Republicans must win the 2026 congressional midterm elections - or else he will get impeached by Democrats. "You gotta win the midterms 'cause, if we don't win the midterms, it's just gonna be - I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me," Trump told Republican lawmakers at a retreat in Washington. "I'll get impeached."

Ahead of the November elections, which could stall his agenda and expose him to congressional investigations, Trump teased and prodded allies who narrowly control the U.S. House of Representatives. He told them to put aside their differences and sell his policies on gender, healthcare and election integrity to an American electorate angry about the cost of living.

elsewhere, read he told them to focus on drug pricing, transgenders in women's sports and crime. I don'tthink you can use those issues to turn out the base, which you have to do to win midterms. It makes me think yet to be developed themes, like the Somali corruption and Islamization, are going to be the real themes.

Without arrests and prosecutions of Democrat/Deep State criminals, it’s over.

They don’t need to find a reason. It is all that the democrats have to fire up their base.

Wouldn’t even be newsworthy. He’s got impeachment armor by now. A much greater risk is that a rat House would stifle his policies for a greater America.

impeachment is a useless waste of time. There will NEVER be the votes for removal. So it amounts to nothing more than a censor.

Trump is too much of a choirboy to do what is necessary: the courts interfered with his command of the National Guard and he tucked in his tail and slunk off.

What he needs to do is declare certain states like CA, IL, OR, and NY to be in insurrection against the US, arrest the Dem political and party leadership, lustrate any Dem from voting or holding public office and hold new elections.

If he's not willing to do that or the equivalent the choice will eventually be either a Dem one-party fascist state or civil war.

Correct. The dims off nothing but impeachment and other nonsense. Nothing to make Americans lives better.

It would give the Democrats an opportunity to finally let the American public know that the Democrat Party doesn’t like Trump. That’s about as far as it would go.

That’s probably what Congressional Republicans are hoping for, tbh.

Yup. And as most impeachments go, it will backfire bigly in favor of JD 2028.

I’d push for pocketbook items, like the cost of beef. Advertise lower drug prices, make it real. DOW 60,000 will help too!

As soon as Maduro starts singing, the RAT party money-laundering schemes will be exposed.
