President Trump Celebrates His Acquittal, Drops Hint About Future in Statement
After President Trump’s second impeachment acquittal, Trump released a lengthy statement where he thanked his supporters, legal team, and GOP Members of Congress. The former President also blasted the state of American discourse and hinted at future plans.
Shortly after President Trump’s historic second impeachment acquittal, the former President told supporters that, “Our historic, patriotic and beautiful movement to Make America Great Again has only just begun.”
President Trump’s full statement is below:
"This has been yet another phase of the greatest witch hunt in the history of our Country. No president has ever gone through anything like it, and it continues because our opponents cannot forget the almost 75 million people, the highest number ever for a sitting president, who voted for us just a few months ago.
I also want to convey my gratitude to the millions of decent, hardworking, law-abiding, God-and-Country loving citizens who have bravely supported these important principles in these very difficult and challenging times."
Our historic, patriotic and beautiful movement to Make America Great Again has only just begun. In the months ahead I have much to share with you, and I look forward to continuing our incredible journey together to achieve American greatness for all of our people. There has never been anything like it!
We have so much work ahead of us, and soon we will emerge with a vision for a bright, radiant, and limitless American future.
Together there is nothing we cannot accomplish.
We remain one People, one family, one glorious nation under God, and it's our responsibility to preserve this magnificent inheritance for our children and for generations of Americans to come.
May God bless all of you, and may God forever bless the United States of America."
