Tupelo
A combative US President Donald Trump told supporters in his electoral stronghold of Mississippi on Friday that a push to impeach him is driving an “angry” Republican surge ahead of 2020.
“We’ve never had greater support than we have right now,” Trump claimed in front of thousands of cheering supporters in a packed arena in Tupelo.
The latest average of polls shows only 40.9 per cent of Americans approve of Trump, but the fired-up president clearly sees his core base as essential to his political survival — and reelection next year.
He called impeachment proceedings against him in the Democratic-led House of Representatives “an attack on democracy itself.”
