To the surprise of absolutely no one on earth.

How is this a "Special Report" when you knew the Senate would not vote to impeach?

[curtisbaugh]

I want to say that Melania Trump is without a doubt, the most BEAUTIFUL first lady EVER. INSIDE AND OUT.

[bokeembridge]

I dont think you can claim victory if everyone knows it was rigged so you could not lose

[iXiuxe]

When I realized the senate was majority republican, I knew this outcome months ago

This man elicits hate, fear and divisiveness at every turn, even when it would be to his great advantage to take a higher, reconciliatory path. He also evokes revulsion in those who see through his lies, manipulation and absence of moral compass and recognize his unwavering narcissistic, sociopathic nature.

Trump: "I've done things wrong in my life. Not purposefully"
crowd: *laughter*
Trump: "But this is what the end result is." [holds up newspaper headline 'Acquitted']
crowd: *standing ovation and cheers*

This level of bootlicking is sad to watch. History will not be kind to this administration or its supporters.

And yet people continue to support someone who rips up a speech in anger? Someone get her in a hospital and off the house

[violyvelarde]

However he celebrates his victory is up to him. You don't like him, vote him out! If you keep listening to media you will lose.

[IsaacDozier]

Standing ovation of Melania? Let's be honest, they didn't stand for her... What a bunch of sheep.

[TheChudReport]

That was the sluriest, whiney victory lap I've ever heard.

I’m taking my lunch right now but I ran out of salt so I came here for some 🧂

[lilkid]

His whole cabinet looks like vanilla ice cream.

[vidalsoberon]

Senators! You opened a can of worms from which not only you will feel sorry but you will be held accountable.

[jcorrell]

That is one ugly man!!! He’s an eye sore!!!🥴 It’s hard to look at him without feeling sorry for him! 😞

[janetlynch]

Never. embolden a bully! They get horribly worse!

[dwaneyocum]

Don't you just love it when the president uses "colorful language"? It teaches our children that it's okay for them to use those words, especially when talking back to their mothers, and teachers.

[Sagir]

Well I’m surprised he didn’t arrive in a gold carriage and have them toss confetti, 😂

[CC-ipve]

Is it me, or is the president the master at backhand compliments? Lol 😂

[rainsrandall]

Everyone knew he was gonna get acquitted..doesn mean he's not evil .he'll be gone in November..when the ppl vote..not some body that sits and read papers
