.MaddowBlog: Pres. Trump tries to contrast himself with Nixon: ‘I don’t leave.'
At a White House event yesterday, Donald Trump called on a reporter who asked, “Mr. President, some of your allies have said that if Democrats open up an impeachment inquiry, that it could actually help your re-election chances. Do you agree with that?” “Well, I hear that too. But you can’t impeach somebody when there’s never been anything done wrong. We have a no collusion. We have no anything. There’s no obstruction. There’s no collusion. There’s no anything.
There was some chatter yesterday that when Trump said, “I don’t leave,” he may have been referring to his intention to remain in office, even if Congress voted to remove him. In context, that clearly wasn’t the message.
