Trump melted down on Sunday morning with a series of lie-filled tweets about all of his “accomplishments” after Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) said he has committed impeachable offenses.
Justin Amash sets Trump off
Trump tweeted:
For all of the Fake News Sunday Political Shows, whose bias & dishonesty is greater than ever seen in our Country before, please inform your viewers that our Economy is setting records, with more people employed today than at any time in U.S. history, our Military, which….

Trump was trying to change the subject for the Sunday shows and preempt what is going to be the dominant subject on Sunday morning, which is Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) saying that his party’s president has engaged in impeachable conduct.
Most of Trump’s claims of accomplishments are either not accomplishments. Any president has to fill Supreme Court vacancies, unpopular policies like the tax cuts for the rich, or lies, which covers every claim that Trump made about healthcare, the Second Amendment, protecting veterans, and foreign policy.
Talk of impeachment from within his own party has Trump rattled
Trump is rattled by an elected Republican making a case for impeachment. Rep. Amash was the first to speak out, but it is inevitable that he is not the only Republican in Congress who believes that Trump engaged in impeachable conduct. Trump is scared, and since he has no effective White House communications system, and he is terrified of holding a press conference, the one-trick pony president is using his Twitter account to distract the nation.
His act is worn out. It has all been seen before, and it isn’t working on the media and the American people.
