Trump lashes out at Dem talk of 'constitutional crisis'
By Brandon Conradis - 05/12/19 05:44 PM EDT
President Trump on Sunday took to Twitter to excoriate Democrats and the media over the suggestion that the U.S. is facing a "constitutional crisis," calling the assertion "a pathetically untrue soundbite."
"The Democrats new and pathetically untrue sound bite is that we are in a 'Constitutional Crisis,'" Trump wrote in multiple tweets. "They and their partner, the Fake News Media, are all told to say this as loud and as often as possible. They are a sad JOKE! We may have the strongest Economy in our history, best employment numbers ever, low taxes & regulations, a rebuilt military & V.A., many great new judges, & so much more."
Trump went on to claim the "real" constitutional crisis was "a giant SCAM perpetrated upon our nation, a Witch Hunt, a Treasonous Hoax." The president has often used those terms to describe the FBI and special counsel Robert Mueller's investigations into Russian election interference.
