and at play hard for him because he's so off the track of our constitution our values at country the air our children praise the water they drink and the rest he really needs our prayers but trump was still hoping to get the last word in a televised address at the white house the president targeted the u.s. house speaker once more nancy pelosi is a horrible person. and she wanted to impeach a long time ago when she said i prefer the president i pray for the president she may pray but she prays for the opposite but i doubt she prays at all and these are vicious people least did it likely won't be the president's last salvo in his ongoing feud with the most powerful woman in washington. the impeachment may be in the rearview mirror but today's hostilities signaled more bitter division lies ahead. for more on donald trump's post impeachment speech on what this could mean

for the election coming up let's cross to g.w. correspondent all of a salad in washington hi there all of trump's speech felt like a cross between a triumphant lap of on him repeating that he's a victim and also a warning of sorts how is what he's said being interpreted over there. well jared is fancy law firm for what he is really but if you talk to critics they would rather interpret this as a very bizarre and unpresidential appearance probably one of the most bizarre appearances he's had in a long time and he's also had this very vindictive tone there at the speech you just showed an excerpt in this report that was very telling because it could give you a look into his world view where you divide people into bad and evil who oppose him versus those who support him adam schiff for instance the 3 leader at leading manager in the impeachment trial and mitt romney the senator who called victim were
