Newsweek reports:
President Donald Trump pushed an argument on Saturday that the economy would fail if he were to be impeached. On Twitter he wrote, with his trademark self-triumphalism, that the economy was the best it has been in 50 years under his leadership, and according to the president, it would quickly decline if he were to be removed from office.
Special counsel Robert Muller, who is leading the investigation on Trump’s potential collusion with Russian officials during the 2016 election, refuted elements of BuzzFeed’s report on Friday. Trump continued to react to BuzzFeed’s report on Saturday.
.@newtgingrich just stated that there has been no president since Abraham Lincoln who has been treated worse or more unfairly by the media than your favorite President, me! At the same time there has been no president who has accomplished more in his first two years in office!

The Economy is one of the best in our history, with unemployment at a 50 year low, and the Stock Market ready to again break a record (set by us many times) – & all you heard yesterday, based on a phony story, was Impeachment. You want to see a Stock Market Crash, Impeach Trump!

Many people are saying that the Mainstream Media will have a very hard time restoring credibility because of the way they have treated me over the past 3 years (including the election lead-up), as highlighted by the disgraceful Buzzfeed story & the even more disgraceful coverage!

Mexico is doing NOTHING to stop the Caravan which is now fully formed and heading to the United States. We stopped the last two – many are still in Mexico but can’t get through our Wall, but it takes a lot of Border Agents if there is no Wall. Not easy!
