David Jackson, Courtney Subramanian and John FritzeDALLAS – Capping a day of wild swings in the ongoing impeachment saga and the conflict in Syria, President Donald Trump told Texas supporters Thursday that next year's election puts"the survival of American democracy itself" at stake.
The president peppered his speech with bracing claims that Democrats –"leftists, socialists, and globalists" – are trying to"overthrow the results" of the 2016 election. He called them"crazy" and"sick" and said he doesn't believe they love their country."The fact that he feels the need to do a rally in Texas suggests to me that he knows that he is going to be impeached in the House," said Democratic strategist Jim Manley.
Mulvaney also announced that Trump would host next year's G-7 economic summit at his golf club in Miami. Critics called it another example of Trump using his position to enrich himself. Trump praised Perry during the rally in Dallas, and touted the ceasefire as a way to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria.
