Trump: Democratic Challengers Are 'Clowns'

Ken Bredemeier

   U.S. President Donald Trump assailed his Democratic challengers on
   Wednesday after their latest debate, calling them "clowns" who would
   crash the economy.

   "You would think there is NO WAY that any of the Democrat Candidates
   that we witnessed last night could possibly become President of the
   United States," Trump said on Twitter after the 12 contenders spent
   much of their three-hour debate attacking Trump's White House
   performance over the last three years and calling for his impeachment.

     You would think there is NO WAY that any of the Democrat Candidates
     that we witnessed last night could possibly become President of the
     United States. Now you see why they have no choice but to push a
     totally illegal & absurd Impeachment of one of the most successful
     Presidents!

   Trump said that if he loses the November 2020 election after a single
   four-year term, "Our record Economy would CRASH, just like in 1929, if
   any of those clowns became President!"

   The 12 candidates wasted no time Tuesday night before telling a
   national television audience why Trump should be impeached by the
   Democrat-controlled House of Representatives to face trial in the
   Republican-majority Senate, even if Trump's removal through the
   impeachment process remains an unlikely outcome.

   In his opening statement, former Vice President Joe Biden, one of
   Trump's top challengers, declared, "This president is the most corrupt
   ... in all our history," an assessment echoed across the debate stage.
