President Donald Trump supported impeaching his two immediate predecessors: Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama. He called President Bill Clinton's impeachment "nonsense."

In a 2014 Fox and Friends interview, Trump argued that impeachment would leave a "permanent" and devastating impact on Obama's legacy.

"Do you think Obama seriously wants to be impeached and go through what Bill Clinton did? He would be a mess," Trump said. "He would be thinking about nothing but — it would be a horror show for him. It would be an absolute embarrassment."

President Donald Trump previously supported impeaching his two immediate predecessors and argued that impeachment would've permanently tarred former President Barack Obama's legacy.

"Do you think Obama seriously wants to be impeached and go through what Bill Clinton did? He would be a mess," Trump said in a 2014 Fox and Friends interview resurfaced by CNN this week. "He would be thinking about nothing but — it would be a horror show for him. It would be an absolute embarrassment."

He added, "It would go down on his record permanently."

Trump supported impeaching Obama over his decision to pause the deportations of undocumented immigrant parents of US citizen children.

Trump argued in 2008 that former President George W. Bush should've been impeached for "lies" Bush told about the Iraq War, which Trump called "a mess the likes of which this country has probably never seen" and "one of the great catastrophes of all time."

"Bush got us into this horrible war with lies, by lying. By saying they had WMDs, by saying all sorts of things that happened not to be true," Trump said in a 2008 interview with CNN host Wolf Blitzer.
