Donald Trump is back. Well, he never went away but he is now acquitted and free of all that impeachment stuff which must have been a real drag for him.
Now that he is completely and 100 per cent innocent of committing any sort of crime Trump gave an impassioned and rousing speech to his loyal followers at the White House.
The Gettysburg Address... it was not.
Before Trump even got out there his impeachment defence team, including Alan Dershowitz, got a standing ovation from the administration.

Then Trump started talking and immediately went back to the tired old 'witch hunt' rhetoric.

Next up was his old friend Barack Obama.
"If this happened to President Obama, a lot of people would've been in jail for a long time already," Trump says.… https://t.co/cZ6nGAS9HQ— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1581010004
Then came the props.
Trump waves around today's Washington Post with the headline, "Trump acquitted." https://t.co/mRLWo85AYF— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1581010066
Things really started to get surreal when the president of the United States of America actually said the words 'bulls**t' during a speech at the White House.
TRUMP: "We first went through 'Russia, Russia, Russia.' It was all bullshit." https://t.co/EKIAj1HWjn— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1581010208
He then claimed that Adam Schiff was 'a failed screenwriter' because he 'made up my statement to the Ukrainian president.'

Speaking of the impeachment, he made a thinly veiled jab at Mitt Romney, who was the only Republican who voted to convict the president.
Without saying his name, Trump criticizes Mitt Romney for "using religion as a crutch" and describes him as "a fail… https://t.co/9rmnw6llcI— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1581011069
He then claimed that Nancy Pelosi doesn't 'pray at all.'
TRUMP: "Adam Schiff is a vicious, horrible person. Nancy Pelosi is a horrible person ... I doubt she prays at all." https://t.co/QNUMR4CCOP— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1581011281
Perhaps the most eye-opening statement of the entire speech was a suggestion that his daughter Ivanka was a good example of how not to be corrupt. Honestly, you couldn't make this stuff up.
Trump gets a gold medal in the Shamelessness Olympics for claiming that Ivanka Trump is a shining example of how no… https://t.co/GwFmmWpc5j— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1581011463
Trump appeared to accidentally throw shade on senator Marth McSally whose polling figures are 'very good.'
"I think Martha's gonna do... uh, good" -- Trump's transparent lack of confidence in Martha McSally's 2020 chances… https://t.co/3nqYXN8t5M— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1581011741
The president then said that his 'worst day' was when the Access Hollywood tapes where he bragged about groping women were released. Yeah, you and everyone else Donald.
Trump describes the day The Washington Post published the Access Hollywood tape of him bragging about groping women… https://t.co/jqzyqFQjM1— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1581012274
If that was his worst day he probably shouldn't have made crude comments about Peter Strzok and Lisa Page the so-called 'FBI Lovebirds.'
"He's probably trying to impress her, for obvious reasons" -- Trump makes a crude reference to Lisa Page's looks https://t.co/i6iFo3YGj7— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1581013102
James Comey, the former director of the FBI who Trump fired in May 2017, was then called a 'sleazebag.'
Still on the FBI, who were called 'scum.' Charming stuff.
Trump laments that Hillary Clinton wasn't prosecuted and calls the former leaders of the FBI "scum" https://t.co/hittsDWoJD— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1581013402
Mitt Romney, who 'ran one of the worst campaigns in history' was then mentioned again.
"The only one that voted against was a guy that can't stand the fact that he can one of the worst campaigns in the… https://t.co/ZMrdfBMzBF— Aaron Rupar (@Aaron Rupar) 1581013600
Trump then concluded by apologising to her family, which was kind of a nice note to end on.
