Trump took to Twitter this morning before Pelosi’s impeachment announcement calling out Democrats for their phony impeachment case and saying ‘they have gone crazy’. But Trump says if they are going to impeach him, then let’s do it fast so the Senate can give him a fair trial and expose Pelosi and Schiff:
The Do Nothing Democrats had a historically bad day yesterday in the House. They have no Impeachment case and are demeaning our Country. But nothing matters to them, they have gone crazy. Therefore I say, if you are going to impeach me, do it now, fast, so we can have a fair….

…..trial in the Senate, and so that our Country can get back to business. We will have Schiff, the Bidens, Pelosi and many more testify, and will reveal, for the first time, how corrupt our system really is. I was elected to “Clean the Swamp,” and that’s what I am doing!

Trump had tweeted before that if the House impeaches him, he definitely wants a trial in the Senate because he believes it will vindicate him from the unfair allegations and partisan process that’s just taken place in the House. And he clearly still wants that.
Trump’s campaign manager tweeted out a similar response after Pelosi made her announcement:

UPDATE: Trump just tweeted in response to Pelosi’s articles of impeachment announcement:
The Do Nothing, Radical Left Democrats have just announced that they are going to seek to Impeach me over NOTHING. They already gave up on the ridiculous Mueller “stuff,” so now they hang their hats on two totally appropriate (perfect) phone calls with the Ukrainian President….

….This will mean that the beyond important and seldom used act of Impeachment will be used routinely to attack future Presidents. That is not what our Founders had in mind. The good thing is that the Republicans have NEVER been more united. We will win!

He’s right. Democrats are clearly letting their TDS lead them to set a precedent that they and the country will regret in coming years…
