Donald Trump claimed on Thursday that if he is impeached, the economy would crash and \u201ceverybody would be very poor,\u201d BBC News is reporting.
He told the Fox News morning show that if he does wind up being impeached, it would wreck the U. S. economy.
\u201cI don\u2019t know how you can impeach somebody who\u2019s done a great job. I tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash, I think everybody would be very poor.\u201d
He then pointed to his head.
\u201cBecause without this thinking, you would see numbers that you wouldn\u2019t believe in reverse.\u201d
As Politico explains, a couple of devastating legal blows this week have threatened the very existence of the Trump presidency. First, Trump\u2019s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, was convicted on eight counts brought about by the Mueller investigation, the same investigation that may have Donald Trump himself within its sights.

Shortly after, Trump\u2019s former attorney, Michael Cohen, submitted a guilty plea during which he admitted he broke campaign finance laws \u201cin coordination and at the direction of a candidate for federal office.\u201d

Despite mounting legal problems, Democrats \u2013 with rare exceptions \u2013 have been cautious about using the word \u201cimpeachment.\u201d
As previously reported by the Inquisitr, most Democrats, such as House leader Nancy Pelosi, are against impeachment \u2013 at least, at this time. The Left side of the aisle is largely acting on the notion that impeachment is, at this time anyway, premature. They want the Mueller investigation to run its course \u2013 and they want to wait until after the 2018 mid-term elections. If Democrats take control of both houses of Congress, then impeachment may be much more likely.
That\u2019s not to say that all Democrats are avoiding talk of impeachment. Texas Representative Al Green, according to his website, is all about impeaching Trump and has even twice issued articles of impeachment. Both efforts at impeaching the president were soundly defeated.
Meanwhile, the stock market doesn\u2019t seem to be too rattled by talk of impeaching the president. According to Market Watch, stocks have been relatively steady this week, despite the legal blows to the president and the rising talk of impeachment.<\/p>\n
