President Donald Trump told supporters Thursday that if he is impeached "it's your fault 'cause you didn't go out to vote."

"You didn't go out to vote -- that's the only way it could happen," Trump said during a rally in Billings, Montana.

"I'll be the only President in history they'll say: 'What a job he's done! By the way, we're impeaching him,' " Trump said.

"This election, you aren't just voting for a candidate, you are voting for which party controls Congress," the President said. "Very important thing. Very important thing."

1. I agree.

It's their fault that he wormed his way into White House in the first place - something that could have only turned out they way it did.

[riversedge]

2. good move donny--blame your fans.

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

3. Well, of course. If something goes wrong, it's never Trump's fault

The man is incapable of admitting that he is to blame for anything.

[Jarqui]

4. Right, it is the voters fault Trump conspired with Russia,

broke campaign laws by paying off porn stars/playboy bunnies, etc[/sarcasm]

[oberliner]

5. No, he didn't

Watch that section of the speech - it is completely incoherent.

"If the opposite party becomes president every time before it even starts before you even found out whether or not he or she is going to do a great job they'll say we want to impeach em and you'll impeach em it's so ridiculous but we'll worry about that if it ever happens, but if it does happen, it's your fault because you didn't go out to vote. Ok? You didn't go out to vote. That's the only way it could happen."

It seems like the thing that could happen that he is referring to is the opposite party becoming president.

Also, it is basically just a big rambling nonsensical mess.

25. Must be the STDs finally kicking in...nt

[ginnyinWI]

28. gah!

I read that three times and still couldn't figure out what he meant!

[duforsure]

6. Con men often try to project blame onto

Their marks for what they've done, and have millions of excuses.

[Achilleaze]

7. republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief is again dodging responsibility

for his own lies, cheating, and treason. He is THE republican family-values role model.

Sad.

[Norbert]

8. They support the asswipe even though he scolds them

I agree with whoever said that they are beyond deprogramming in order to be capable of rational thought.

[chelsea0011]

9. Does it appear that his racist rallies are losing steam among the crowds?

[truthisfreedom]

10. He could puke on them and they'd go home lavishing praise

His base loves abuse. And he knows it. He despises them. That’s why it’s always their fault if he fucks up. Kick the dog.

[bucolic_frolic]

11. Blame the voters for electing you ... not sure that's a winner of a strategy

Projection and deflection but a bit thinly disguised. Maybe even 5% of Trumpers can figure it out

and 5% is all we need from them!!!

[BumRushDaShow]

12. "I'll be the only President in history...'What a job he's done! By the way, we're impeaching him,'"

Bill Clinton job creation -

[FailureToCommunicate]

14. Good point! But then history, or smarts of any kind, never a Trump strongpoint.

[BumRushDaShow]

16. He was out bankrupting casinos during the '90s so that period of expansion doesn't "count" for him.

13. The exact opposite....

The exact opposite needs to be stressed to those who are not in tRUMP'S core base. The rest of us normal people need to hear someone saying "Look....if you don't vote, we don't get to impeach this guy!"

[FailureToCommunicate]

15. Well, since YOU'VE brought up the subject of impeachment, Mr President...

[ehrnst]

17. That is how he is getting out his base. Fear of impeachment. That's why Pelosi isn't feeding it. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

23. His Base Is Going To Vote Anyway

While i agree that this is not exactly what he said (as Oberliner said, it was a word salad), a speech to a couple thousand people who were going to vote for his benefit anyway, is tilting at windmills.

[ginnyinWI]

29. you would think a positive message rather than threats

would be what is called for to get out the vote here.

I hope it sours some of them at least.

He's doing what Lakoff would say not to do. Don't connect the idea of impeachment with yourself!

[ProfessorGAC]

31. Not The Act Of A "Stable Genius"

Which is fairly obvious, i would think

[watoos]

18. I agree

because it is plain to see how the Congressional traitors in the Trump/Republican party have been protecting him from justice.

[bucolic_frolic]

19. GOP Congress is like a crooked sheriff who looks the other way while the outlaws rob the bank

and then they pool the loot

[Stuart G]

20. The bottom line is..Mueller will get him..and his crowd of crooks.

[treestar]

21. Does the Orange One have a glimmering that

Congress matters and can limit his power?

[ProfessorPlum]

22. I have no doubt that history will say "What a job he's done"

What a job, indeed

[ck4829]

24. And I'm sure they'll just blame blacks, liberals, Jews, Muslims, Mexicans, single mothers, etc.

Works for everything else in their POV and it will REALLY never be THEIR fault he got impeached either.

[ginnyinWI]

26. Very consistent, Donnie.

Never ever take responsibility. It's always someone else's fault! Amazing, isn't it.

[C_U_L8R]

27. That's what narcissist do.

He's sick in the head.

[Downtown Hound]

30. Funny. Hitler said the same thing about the German people when it was clear Germany would lose the

war. It couldn't be his bad leadership, oh no.

I find statements like this from Trump very telling. He's clearly very worried about being impeached.

[Marthe48]

32. Is he talking to putin?
