Trump's Prospects on the Rise After Notable Week

Jim Malone

   There appeared to be a noticeable shift in the U.S. political landscape
   this week.

   President Donald Trump finally emerged triumphant from the battle over
   impeachment with rising poll ratings and a Democratic Party in disarray
   over a major election failure in Iowa.

   In the span of just a few days, Trump's reelection prospects appeared
   more favorable than at any time during his presidency.

   Victory lap

   Trump celebrated his acquittal in the Senate trial with a rambling
   celebration Thursday at the White House in front of family,
   administration aides and Republican members of Congress.

   The president denounced the impeachment process begun by Democrats in
   the House of Representatives as "evil and corrupt."
