On December 18, 2019, Donald Trump held a rally in Pennsylvania, just hours after the House approved the first article of impeachment against him for abuse of power.
Trump's decision to hold a rally at this critical juncture in his presidency echoed his response to the 'Access Hollywood' tape scandal in 2016, when he emerged from Trump Tower to a crowd of supporters on Fifth Avenue.
At the rally, Trump reminisced about his 2016 victory, taunting the 2020 Democratic presidential field, and hitting on his favorite targets, including Lisa Page and James Comey.
His anger at the House Democrats was palpable, with Trump saying Americans would 'vote Pelosi the hell out of office' next year.
Trump also attacked Representative Debbie Dingell of Michigan, who had voted for impeachment, despite Trump lowering the flags for her late husband, Representative John Dingell.
