President Donald Trump on Friday dismissed talk that he might be impeached as ridiculous, claiming that he’s the most popular Republican in history and that he’s “done nothing wrong.”

Trump is in a newly perilous position after Democrats took control of the House of Representatives on Thursday, even though Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has sought to cool impeachment talk as special counsel Robert Mueller finishes his Russia investigation.


But that hasn’t stopped some Democrats from calling to oust Trump, including freshman Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), who was captured on video Thursday evening telling supporters, “We’re going to go in and impeach the motherf---er.”

Trump on Friday morning hit back in a series of tweets in which he also blamed the stock market swoon of recent weeks on Democrats.

“As I have stated many times, if the Democrats take over the House or Senate, there will be disruption to the Financial Markets. We won the Senate, they won the House. Things will settle down. They only want to impeach me because they know they can’t win in 2020, too much success!” Trump wrote.

In a second tweet, he added, “How do you impeach a president who has won perhaps the greatest election of all time, done nothing wrong (no Collusion with Russia, it was the Dems that Colluded), had the most successful first two years of any president, and is the most popular Republican in party history 93%?”
