This morning Trump tweeted about one moment from the hearing yesterday, which I presume to be his favorite moment:
.@RepRatcliffe asked the two “star” witnesses, “where is the impeachable event in that call?” Both stared straight ahead with a blank look on their face, remained silent, & were unable to answer the question. That would be the end of a case run by normal people! – but not Shifty!

What Trump is referring to was tweeted by GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy:
.@RepRatcliffe: "Are either of you here today to assert there was an impeachable offense in that call? Shout it out."
"Anyone?"

It wasn’t complete silence. Taylor did finally respond to say that he wasn’t there to decide about impeachment. But the point is clear, that neither of them believe there was anything impeachable in the phone call.
Trump also retweeted this from Doug Collins which is hilarious:
