Trump to House Republicans: If we don't win midterms, I will get impeached

WASHINGTON, Jan 6 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Republicans must win the 2026 midterm elections or else he will get impeached by Democrats.

"You gotta win the midterms 'cause, if we don't win the midterms, it's just gonna be - I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me," Trump said at a retreat for House Republican lawmakers in Washington. "I'll get impeached."

The president urged his fellow Republicans to fight in a more unified fashion on issues ranging from gender politics to healthcare and election reforms, and to sell his policies to a public angry about cost of living issues.

Trump's agenda is on the line in November's elections, when all the seats in the House of Representatives and a third of the Senate's seats will be contested.

Sounds good to me.

[UpInArms]

1. I think it is a grand plan

TFG should just resign now

[electric_blue68]

25. We should be so lucky....

Vance has no where near any kind of real public following .

[Trueblue1968]

39. Sounds excellent to me. Impeach DonOLD Rump now !!!!!!

[BidenRocks]

57. They all need to be removed.

A pResident vance or rubio is equally unacceptable as they are all guilty.

[tanyev]

2. As they say in improv, "Yes. And?"

[mpcamb]

55. Scream "EPSTEIN FILES NOW!" "Cause HIDING from it's what it's all about!

[Endlessmike56]

3. What a shame

[Ray Bruns]

4. He says that like it's a bad thing.

[ZDU]

5. Just Dessert, anyone?

Many say, "IMPEACH!"

[dem4decades]

6. What does Trump care? He's been elected twice after being impeached.

It's a badge of honor for the traitor.

[vapor2]

7. What did trump recently say?

"Things happen"

[democrank]

8. Here's hoping....

Such a worthy candidate

[TygrBright]

9. Why does he care? Does he think the hat trick matters? n/t

[SergeStorms]

73. The third time's the charm.....

isn't that what "they" say?

[PatSeg]

10. That's unusually self-aware for Trump

He knows that he's pushed his luck this past year and accountability is on the horizon.

[soldierant]

66. Unusually self-aware --- and unusually truthful.

[PatSeg]

72. Yes, he doesn't have the self-control

to keep track of the truth and the lies.

[unblock]

11. He survived impeachment twice, the senate will still never remove him, and he even got elected somehow after.

Even from Donnie's point of view, impeachment is a hollow threat.

What they're afraid of is *investigations* and *oversight*

[twodogsbarking]

12. Give the man a crying towel.

[Vinca]

13. Hey, Republicans. Do your job and impeach him now. Maybe you won't lose all your seats in the midterms.

[Justice matters.]

60. Tell them pedofelon is a International Terrorist bent on destroying

the United States of America's reputation and standing in the world to line his own pockets and those of his clique.

[tavernier]

14. You betcha... if we are still a country of laws

[Torchlight]

15. His monthly minute of lucidity.

Although I don't think "find" a reason is as appropriate as "simply picking up one or two of the three hundred and fourteen obvious pieces of blatant corruption and offenses off the floor"

[AverageOldGuy]

16. If we are lucky - - -

- - - he will be dead before the 2026 mid-terms.

[angrychair]

17. They just lost the majority in the House

Do to deaths and a resignation. And another Republican was in a serious car accident and is in the hospital and he is 80 yrs old, so there are doubts he will be working anytime soon , if at all, so that puts them at 216 for right now.
With only 10 months until the midterms it seems unlikely to change much in that time

[electric_blue68]

28. Ummm... Wait....

If they just lost the majority in The House could the Dems take the speakership, or still have to wait for 2026 election?

I know some civics, but not that detail.

[angrychair]

30. No, currently neither has a majority

So the proper term is a "hung Congress"
Neither political party can pass their agenda without help from the other.

A new Speaker would require a majority vote and I doubt, especially with only 10 months to go, that there is any sense of cooperation between the parties.
Now, if we win all of those respective special elections we would have the majority and could elect a new Speaker.

[electric_blue68]

33. Ah, got it. TY!

Let's go Special Elections!!!

🗳🗳🗳🗳🗳

[Joinfortmill]

51. I didn't realize this. Thanks.

[CTyankee]

18. Your mouth to God's ear!

[ProudMNDemocrat]

19. Yes! So fucking what, Donnie!

You deserve to be impeached more than 3 times.

[Dr. T]

26. Sadly, I've come to see impeachment as a joke nowadays.

Impeach him 3 more times or 30 more times. The Teflon Shitbag will just add it to his collection.

It seems the only thing that will achieve the desired effect is the Orrex solution. The ultimate impeachment. Is he dead yet?

[2naSalit]

20. And hopefully...

Worse!

[Luciferous]

21. Yeah, that sounds good lol

[ChicagoTeamster]

22. Maybe they should show him that he can be impeached before the midterms

[Grins]

23. And the delusion: "I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me." - The Orange ogre.

"I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me. "

That's not the Democrats' problem; they have plenty of reasons.
It's how to prioritize all of them!

[Baitball Blogger]

24. Please proceed...

[CapnSteve]

27. Just keep up the crime-ing, Dementia Donnie....

The blue tsunami is assured. You can't stop it, you can't change it.

[Deuxcents]

29. Here's hoping the House R's do what they do best. Nothing

[Clouds Passing]

31. So cheat cheat and cheat more gqp mafia. Add in a Goebells worth of lies and you're good to go.

[FailureToCommunicate]

32. Third time a charm?

[Ol Janx Spirit]

40. No. (NT)

[ArizonaLib]

34. What the hell makes him or the other

Republicans think they have any sort of chance of not losing? In the Bondi post he thought was only a DM, he expressed angst over the impeachments. They mean something to him and if congress has to impeach him everyday until 2028, it is important to history and the future for anyone considering going down his path.

Also, reform the SCOTUS. A new majority has a lot of clean up ahead of itself.

[BlueKentuckyGirl]

35. Here's a thought...

Stop committing impeachable offenses and then maybe people won't try so hard to impeach you!

[FakeNoose]

36. We're OK with that .... proceed!

[BurnDoubt]

37. Yeah, Yeah...

Identify Dem voters.
Vet and “cure” their registrations, and document well in advance..
Personal contact three times in the run-up.
See votes cast legally from day one of polling.
Mail-ins on first day of mail-in voting, complete one week prior to polls closing.
Observers at in-person polls. Video documentation.
“Every Sparrow”.

[MaineBlueBear]

38. A tacit admission

that he has committed impeachable offences.

[LPBBEAR]

41. If I had my druthers

it would be a firing squad.

[Bohunk68]

69. I have a fondness for the French Solution.

Just think, we could do him face up with the cameras on and sell videos with proceeds going to his numerous victims.

[Lulu KC]

42. No shit, Sherlock

Too bad the other two times didn't do us any good!

[Sogo]

43. If this country has any luck....

nt

[Zelda_Orchid]

44. Smart Republicans are thinking "We can work with that"

There are very few smart Republicans

[The Blue Flower]

45. "Cost of living issues..." ?

They're insulting the American citizenry. The felon has been criming nonstop throughout his time in office. I think most of us can see beyond our wallets and deeply care about the state of the country. We have families and care about the future of the world.

[Evolve Dammit]

46. Perfect. Will watch all the hearings. Can't f'in wait..

[William Seger]

47. "they'll find A reason to impeach me"

Actually, I predict debates about having too many charges and what to leave out.

[sueh]

48. Well, the third time's a charm.

[Joinfortmill]

49. Beware! Cheaters Gotta Cheat. We need to VOTE in HUGE numbers

[LilElf70]

50. Well then,

by all means, "lose, lose, lose"... Lose BIGLY!!!!!

[Bluetus]

52. Dems had better get that I-word out of their mouths

That is the last thing we need to be talking about now.. There is no scenario where we can get a conviction in the Senate before Trump dies of natural causes. Zero possibility. And bringing this up will only piss off Republicans who might otherwise be willing to listen to some reasonable talk from us..

I swear, we are our own worst enemy most of the time. If we want to talk about something, it should be the 25th Amendment That won't happen either, but that is totally under Republican control, and most people can see that Trump is not well mentally. By shining the light on the 25th, the issue becomes Trump's wellness rather than Democrats wanting revenge.

A 25th Amendment solution actually benefits Republicans more than Democrats, so we can call for that from a position of doing the right thing for the sake of the country.

[ToxMarz]

53. Wouldn't it be wonderful if the midterms also gave the Democrats a 2/3's majority in the Senate so it even f'ing matters

[eppur_se_muova]

54. Make it so. nt

[Fla Dem]

56. Yip-a-de-do-da! Let it happen. We can only hope.

[JustKay]

58. We can dream!

[creon]

59. That means that there will be midterms

eh?

[TBF]

61. He should be impeached NOW -

"find something"? There are myriad things he's done already that merit impeachment.

Building concentration camps here & whisking people off the street to private gulags abroad, kidnapping the leader of another country & taking over that country - these are just to start with. His whole cabinet is not only incompetent but dangerous. Hiring Stephen Miller should be an impeachable offense in my book.

[mdbl]

62. Me to Repuglicans

IMPEACH HIS ASS NOW!!!!!

[Nictuku]

63. Seems like a Tempting Proposition (even for Republicans)

[William Gustafson]

64. Don't threaten me with a good time....

[sheshe2]

65. Let me think...

Oh wait! I have no problem with that.

I don't just want him impeached; I want him in prison for the rest of his miserable life.

He said:

The president urged his fellow Republicans to fight in a more unified fashion on issues ranging from gender politics to healthcare

They seem pretty unified to me. He and his maggots denied many their health care! That's how he wants them to fight for us FFS!

[Figarosmom]

67. Of course it's all about him

Other Presidents ask how he can help in the elections. This guy just puts it all on them that they have to win or he'll be impeached. He knows he's breaking the law.

[Aussie105]

68. Trump doesn't want to me impeached.

He fears he will be locked up amongst fraudsters, con artists, law breakers and kiddie fiddlers, and he is way above that sort of riff-raff.
Not his type at all.

Besides, accessing his regular medical regime of drugs and nutritional requirements would be a problem.
Apparently, jail doesn't have late night room service!

[Buddyzbuddy]

70. Quickest solution, STOP COMMITTING IMPEACHABLE OFFENSES!

Dumb sh*t.

[CapnSteve]

71. ...again.

Third time is a charm!

[QueerDuck]

74. Impeachment would not mean removal. I think reaching the 2/3rds mark in the Senate is unlikely.

But knowing that the crimes had been documented and his record of being THREE TIMES impeached would remain unbroken for many lifetimes.

[NHvet]

75. He says that

as if it's a bad thing.
