Donald Trump, the president of the United States of America, has on Monday expressed fears he may lose power in the ongoing impeachment probe launched by Democrats.
Worried by the fast-moving pace of the impeachment inquiry, Trump on exhorted fellow Republicans to get tougher and fight for him, saying the Democrat-led US House of Representatives wants to impeach him “as quick as possible” over his request that Ukraine investigate a political rival.
Trump made his comments during a White House Cabinet meeting as Democrats sought to build public support for the impeachment inquiry.
When asked if it is a foregone conclusion that House Democrats will vote to impeach him, Trump said that “they’re not going to beat me in the election, so, of course, they want to impeach”.
“They want to impeach. And they want to do it as quick as possible. And that’s pretty much the story,” Trump added.
“The Republicans have to get tougher and fight. We have some that are great fighters, but they have to get tougher and fight, because the Democrats are trying to hurt the Republican Party before the election,” Trump said.
Trump said the Democrats are “vicious and they stick together”.
“They don’t have Mitt Romney in their midst. They don’t have people like that. They stick together,” Trump added.
