President Trump has launched a fierce counterprogramming blitz during his impeachment trial, including signing a trade deal with Mexico and Canada.
President Trump grinned and gave a thumbs up as he strutted to the South Lawn of the White House on Wednesday, hoping to shift public attention from his Senate impeachment trial to the signing of a long-promised trade deal with Mexico and Canada.
He kidded Republican House members that they wouldn’t get any special treatment — “To hell with you,” he said — because the impeachment action had moved out of their chamber.
“While we are creating jobs and killing terrorists, the congressional Democrats are obsessed with demented hoaxes, crazy witch hunts and deranged partisan crusades,” Trump said in Wildwood. “It’s all they know how to do, the do-nothing Democrats.”an update of the strategy that President Clinton successfully pioneered during his impeachment trialConvinced he was the victim of a partisan impeachment, Clinton vented his anger in private while trying to appear bipartisan and businesslike in public.
During Clinton’s impeachment, his aides used surrogates to demonize Kenneth W. Starr, the independent counsel who led the investigation, while trying to make Clinton appear above the fray even as his affair with a White House intern diminished his stature.They succeeded in tarnishing Starr — who unexpectedly reemerged this week as one of Trump’s defense lawyers — and created enough pressure in the Senate for a bipartisan acquittal.
