In a series of tweets, Trump compared himself to Brett Kavanaugh and claimed Democrats are trampling the Constitution by impeaching him.
Trump tweeted about Kavanaugh and impeachment:
After watching the disgraceful way that a wonderful man, @BrettKavanaugh, was treated by the Democrats, and now seeing first hand how these same Radical Left, Do Nothing Dems are treating the whole Impeachment Hoax, I understand why so many Dems are voting Republican!

He also tweet ranted this quote:
“There are 31 House Democrats in Trump won Congressional Districts. Those Dems will have to answer to their constituents come 2020. If you look at the facts, there’s no crime, there’s no witness, there’s no evidence, there’s no victim, President Zelensky said there was….

….trampled on our Constitution, and they have done irreparable harm to our Republic. The American people are going to speak up and speak out about this. I think this guarantees Trump’s re-election in 2020.†@Jason_Meister

Trump doesn’t understand the basics of Twitter. Trump is trying to “defend himself” by flooding his account with tweets, but the more he tweets, the less interaction he gets, so Trump responds by tweeting even more, and the cycle perpetuates.
Donald Trump lacks the self-discipline to be an effective political messenger. The president has no impulse control, so he is staging prolonged days long meltdowns over impeachment.
Trump is humiliated by the fact that he is going to be impeached, and he is showing his humiliation by taking his Twitter meltdowns to a whole new level of pathological outburst.
