President Trump, commanding a triumphant scene at the White House complete with the playing of “Hail to the Chief,” railed against what he called an “evil” impeachment process on Thursday hours after his historic acquittal in the Senate. And as he did earlier Thursday at a prayer breakfast, Trump brandished a copy of the day's Washington Post with a blaring headline: "Trump acquitted." After a while, Thursday's more than hour-long address shifted into a rhetorical high-fiving and back-slapping phase as Trump went around the room and began thanking Republican lawmakers. Following the breakfast Thursday, Pelosi fired back at Trump for his comments and his proud display of his acquittal. But during Thursday's speech, Trump said people like Pelosi, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., "want to destroy our country."
