US President Donald Trump has unleashed his fury against those who tried to impeach him, a day after his acquittal by the Senate. “As everybody knows, my family, our great country and your president have been put through a terrible ordeal by some very dishonest and corrupt people,” Mr Trump said at the annual National Prayer Breakfast in Washington. He spoke from a stage where he was joined by congressional leaders, including Democratic House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who led the impeachment charge against him. “They have done everything possible to destroy us and by so doing very badly hurt our nation,” said Mr Trump, who triumphantly held up copies of two newspapers with ‘Acquitted’ headlines as he took the stage. “I don’t know if I agree with you,” Mr Trump said, and then he proceeded to demonstrate it.
