His chief spokeswoman said he would be “working all day,” but President Donald Trump spent much of the day tweeting and retweeting about impeachment.
Although the White House press secretary assured reporters that Trump was busy working and only “between meetings” catching snippets of the action on the House floor, his Twitter feed belied that claim and showed a president obsessed with the historic nature of this day. As he exited the West Wing and walked across the lawn, a huge contingency of White House staffers and visitors lined up along the south portico to cheer him on, and he walked the rope line shaking hands and smiling. He did not take any questions from the gathered reporters. An aide later loaded one of the posters onto the presidential helicopter.
“Clinton’s entire strategy was to prove that he could govern and still be president while impeachment was happening. That was a pretty effective strategy,” said Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut. Trump “could be spending this week talking about the budget and the trade agreement. But he’s not doing that. Nor did anyone expect him to.”
“Generally speaking, it’s fine,” said one White House aide, describing the mood within the West Wing. “We’ve known this was coming for a long time.”
