Donald Trump says "I don't know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job," he said, adding that Americans would see economic "numbers that you wouldn't believe in reverse."

“I don’t know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job,” he said, adding that Americans would see economic “numbers that you wouldn’t believe in reverse.”

 Washington DC: US President Donald Trump warned Thursday that if he was impeached the US economy would collapse. In an interview aired today, Trump told Fox and Friends, as quoted by AFP, “I will tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash. I think everybody would be very poor.”

The US President was responding to a question on his mounting legal woes after his former attorney Michael Cohen said under oath that Trump instructed him to commit a felony by breaking US campaign finance laws.

“I don’t know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job,” he said, adding that Americans would see economic “numbers that you wouldn’t believe in reverse.”

Trump later talked about job creation and other economic progress he said had been made during his presidency and insisted Americans would be much worse off if Hillary Clinton had won the 2016 election.
