WASHINGTON — Exulting in his impeachment acquittal, a defiant President Donald Trump took a scorched-earth victory lap Thursday, unleashing his fury against those who tried to remove him from office and pointing ahead to his reelection campaign.
Triumphantly waving newspaper front pages that declared him “ACQUITTED," Trump denounced the impeachment proceedings as a “disgrace” and portrayed himself as a victim of political foes he labeled "scum," “sleaze bags” and “crooked" people. Hours earlier, he unleashed broadsides that stunned the crowd at an annual bipartisan prayer breakfast
“It was evil, it was corrupt, it was dirty cops," Trump declared in a packed White House East Room, where he was surrounded by several hundred of his most loyal supporters. “This should never ever happen to another president, ever.”

sorry - did not proofread very well.
It was the calm before the storm.
CSPAN 2 is now replaying that Trump presser.
It is near the end where he goes after Strok and Page.

5pm central
I think they just haven’t seen his fury yet.
Great - will watch - thanks!
Agree. We can hope and pray you are right!
It is nearly over....sorry I didn’t notice it sooner.
Technically not a presser. He is speaking, not taking questions, and the event was not offered as an event to inform the press. It was an event for supporters, and the press was invited to cover.
This is just getting started.
Redenbacher time.
Yes, and others said - he did it with few notes and no teleprompter. It was from the heart.
The only thing that surprised me is that he didn’t say anything about his attorneys who defended him - unless I missed that.
But they got a standing Ovation when they entered the room.
It’s all over YouTube
FOX10 Phoenix is where I watched it live
He acknowledged them a few minutes in. The attorneys and staff (probably about 20 people) all stood up to his right and got another standing ovation.
Oh - well - thanks anyway.
