Trump claims market would crash if he was impeached

The Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry against President Trump after a whistleblower complained that Trump threatened to withhold military aid from Ukraine unless they provided him with dirt on Joe Biden. Trump denied the charges and also predicted that impeachment would be bad for the U.S. economy.

“If they actually did this the markets would crash. Do you think it was luck that got us to the best Stock Market and Economy in our history. It wasn’t!” Trump tweeted on Thursday, three days after Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi announced an official impeachment inquiry.

Trump’s son, Donald Trump Jr., backed up his dad in a separate tweet, saying the Democrats were simply hoping to undo all the good things President Trump has done for the country with a bogus inquiry.

“For 2.5 years we were told there was collusion, then obstruction, then it was a cover-up… rinse and repeat,” Trump Jr. tweeted. “Seems the media and their bosses at the DNC are just desperate to push something other than the results @realDonaldTrump is getting for America.”

But the Democrats are pushing forward with the impeachment inquiry. At the press conference announcing the inquiry, Pelosi insisted that by asking Ukraine to interfere in a U.S. election, Trump violated his duty to the U.S. Constitution.
