Donald Trump hasn't been saying a whole lot in his past week, but he did recently come out and saying impeachment was a bad idea.

0:06.1

He's saying he's not going to get removed under the 25th amendment.

0:09.1

And I think he's probably right.

0:10.5

Cause when Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer called Mike Pence, he had them wait on hold for 25 minutes.
