Trump unleashes profane tweet after Democratic impeachment press conference


It's probably safe to say President Trump is a little frazzled.
Trump lashed out at Democrats over Twitter on Wednesday, shortly after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) held a press conference about the recently-launched congressional impeachment inquiry spurred by Trump's communications with Ukraine's government. The commander-in-chief couldn't hold back from using profanity this time around.
For what it's worth, Pelosi did actually take some time at the beginning of the press conference to talk about non-impeachment issues, such as a hypothetical infrastructure deal that she still hopes she can iron out with Trump. She also responded to questions about Democratic efforts to pass gun control measures.
