President Trump weighed in on the fourth Democratic presidential debates in Ohio Tuesday night, claiming none of the candidates on stage stood a chance against him in 2020.
The Washington Examiner reports Trump tweeted on Wednesday morning: “You would think there is NO WAY that any of the Democrat Candidates that we witnessed last night could possibly become President of the United States.”
“Now you see why they have no choice but to push a totally illegal & absurd Impeachment of one of the most successful Presidents!” he added.

In another tweet, Trump said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff should be the ones impeached.
“What is happening to President Trump with Impeachment is a Constitutional Travesty.” @GrahamLedger The likes of which we have never seen before. It is Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi who should be impeached for fraud!

The president also speculated what would happen to the country and its economy if a Democrat were to win in 2020.
“Our record Economy would CRASH, just like in 1929, if any of those clowns became President!” Trump tweeted.

The Washington Examiner adds:
Pelosi announced last month she was backing an impeachment inquiry into Trump after it was revealed he made a call with Ukraine’s president where he asked them to investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.
Biden, 76, addressed a question about his son’s business dealings in Ukraine during the debate. The former vice president said he was “proud of the judgment” of his son.
Hunter Biden was on the board of a Ukrainian gas company while his father was vice president, and Trump has used the issue to level charges of corruption against the Bidens. Hunter Biden did an interview Tuesday before the debate saying he would not have been on corporate boards unless his name was Biden and that it was “poor judgment” to be on the board of the Ukrainian gas company.
