President Donald Trump is brushing off talk of a third impeachment, telling Newsmax's Rob Finnerty in an October 15 White House interview that the only thing Democrats could impeach him for is "making our country really strong." Asked about Democrats who have been vocal about wanting to remove him again, Trump said the only offense he can see is making the country strong and rich. To back that up, he pointed to his claim that the US will see $22 trillion in investment in 15 months, compared with about $3 trillion that China managed a decade ago and roughly half a trillion under Biden. He also said that he was impeached twice and won easily both times, that some people think it helped him politically, and that he has become good at what he called "anti-impeachment."

Trump added that a Democratic congressman recently said on television that the party wants to impeach him, but could not clearly say what for, while Finnerty suggested that Democrats would simply figure out the grounds later if they took power. Trump was impeached by the House in December 2019 and January 2021 and was acquitted by the Senate both times, and impeachment efforts have resurfaced in his second term, including articles introduced by Rep. Shri Thanedar in May 2025 alleging obstruction of justice, bribery, and corruption. The House has also voted to table at least one impeachment resolution, showing how divided Congress remains on the issue. With the November 3 midterms approaching and control of Congress at stake, the question of whether Democrats would actually try for a third impeachment is becoming a major campaign storyline. The economic figures Trump cited are his own claims, and Democrats argue that the reasons for investigating or impeaching him go far beyond economic performance.
