Trump holds White House 'celebration' for impeachment acquittal
By Brett Samuels and Morgan Chalfant - 02/06/20 01:35 PM EST


President Trump on Thursday celebrated his impeachment acquittal during a free-wheeling White House speech in which he declared vindication and denied any shred of wrongdoing having survived the most perilous stretch of his presidency.

“This is really not a news conference, it’s not a speech. It’s not anything,” Trump said to a crowd of GOP lawmakers, Cabinet officials, family members and other supporters at the East Room of the White House. “It’s just, we’re sort of, it’s a celebration because we have something that just worked out.

“It’s called total acquittal,” said Trump, who held aloft a newspaper headline declaring him cleared by the GOP-controlled Senate.

What followed was a mixture of a victory lap, a condensed campaign rally and an airing of grievances.

And who wouldn’t come out and say exactly what’s on your mind, after being constrained by legalities and political considerations for months and in fact, all the way through the Mueller years.

You’ve earned this, Mr. President. Vent away.

I would have much preferred that he leave out the pronouncements about others prayer lives. And the part about disagreeing with "loving our enemies"   most cringe worthy in a long chain.

So not needed.
