Trump also used a swear word to describe the justice department inquiry into whether his 2016 election campaign had colluded with Russia. "This should never happen to another president ever." "It was evil, it was corrupt," Trump said of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, which concluded that the Russians sought to actively interfere to help Trump and hurt his Democratic Party rival, Hillary Clinton. "We caught 'em in the act ... dirty cops, bad people," Trump said. He also criticised the impeachment foes who invoked their religious faith. "There were some that used religion as a crutch. ... A failed presidential candidate so things can happen when you fail so badly running for president," Trump said of Senator Mitt Romney, who voted to convict Trump on abuse of power. "A guy who can't stand the fact that he ran one of the worst campaign in the history of the country," Trump added on the fellow Republican lawmaker.

Trump alleged that Democrats are lousy politicians because they have lousy policy, open borders, sanctuary cities. "They have horrible policy. Who the hell can win? Oh, their new policy is raise taxes. They want to raise taxes," he said as he slammed top Democratic leaders including the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. "I've always said they're lousy politicians, but they do two things. They are vicious and mean, vicious. These people are vicious. Adam Schiff is a vicious, horrible person. Nancy Pelosi is a horrible person. And she wanted to impeach a long time ago. "When she said, I pray for the president, I pray for the president. She doesn't pray. She may pray, but she prays for the opposite. But I doubt she prays at all," he added. "This is sort of a day of celebration because we went through hell," Trump said. In the end, Trump also offered a rare apology - to his family, for having to "go through a phony, rotten deal".
