Trump hypes fake polls: "I could show you numbers that, nobody has ever seen numbers like this."

He then says impeachment started "probably before I came down the escalator" -- in other words, he's accusing Dems of plotting to impeach him before he decided to run for POTUS 😂

Trump’s GOP defenders mocked for sitting stunned as impeachment moves forward

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said clearly on Thursday what many have assumed: When articles of impeachment come over from the House of Representatives, as is expected, to his chamber, he will be acting virtually as President Donald Trump’s defense attorney.

“Everything I do during this, I’m coordinating with White House counsel,” he said on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show. “There will be no difference between the President’s position and our position as to how to handle this.”

He noted that, unlike the many other issues that come to his chamber, he’s unable to block impeachment. If it comes, he has to hold a trial, he admitted somewhat ruefully.

“We have no choice but to take it up, but we’ll be working through this process, hopefully in a fairly short period of time, in total coordination with the White House counsel’s office, and the people who are representing the president in the well of the Senate,” he said.

Co-host Meghan McCain also expressed her displeasure with Trump’s attack on the teen — while at the same time admitting that she is not a fan of Thunberg — and pointed out the White House meltdown when Stanford University professor Pamela Karlan, made a reference to President Donald Trump’s 13-year-old son, Barron while explaining the difference between the president and a king.

“It’s hard for me to talk about Greta Thunberg because she’s 16, and I don’t believe in attacking underaged people,” McCain stated. “I disagree with her, and I think everyone knows how I feel about climate change and religion on the left, but I don’t agree with attacking her as I don’t agree with attacking Barron Trump.”

‘Where is Melania?” host Behar jumped in. “She was so upset about that lawyer or historian.”

“I did not think it was appropriate for Barron’s name to be used as an analogy or a pun, and I don’t think it’s appropriate for the president to go after a teenager who has Asperger’s [syndrome]– who is a climate activist,” co-host Sunny Hostin added before turning to the first lady. “I would like to see the same kind of energy and verve which she used for her son, and she has a platform just like many first ladies, and hers is ‘be best” in terms of social media bullying. She’s married to the bully-in-chief. I would like to see that same kind of energy.”
