President Trump demanded Thursday that Democrats apologize to the American people for their investigations into his administration, which were undermined last week when special counsel Robert Mueller decided there was no evidence the Trump campaign colluded with Russia and declined to charge that he obstructed justice.
“The Democrats have to now decide whether they will continue defrauding the public with ridiculous bullsh-t, partisan investigations, or whether they will apologize to the American people,” the president said, while speaking at a 2020 campaign rally in Grand Rapids, Mich., on Thursday evening.
Earlier in the speech, Trump blasted Democrats in Congress for continuing to investigate him and discuss Russian collusion. He repeatedly said there would have to be “accountability” for what he believes were unjustified, partisan investigations.
Trump called on Democrats to drop “partisan investigations” and work with him on his policy priorities. He specifically mentioned rebuilding “crumbling infrastructure,” lowering costs of healthcare and prescription drugs, and fixing America’s “broken trade deals.”
