00:02

-Donald Trump threw a tantrum

00:03

when Democrats refused to stand and clap for him

00:05

at the State of the Union,

00:06

and tried to co-opt

00:07

the men's hockey team's gold medal win.

00:09

For more on this, it's time for "A Closer Look."

00:11

[ Cheers and applause ]

00:15

Trump's desperate to prevent Democrats

00:17

from winning back Congress in November --

00:19

not because he wants Congress to do anything,

00:21

but because it would be bad for him.

00:23

-Federal Republican policy retreat yesterday,

00:25

President Trump issued this warning to his party.

00:27

-You gotta win the midterms

00:29

because if we don't win the midterms,

00:32

it's just gonna be...

00:34

I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me.

00:37

[ Laughter ] -They'll...

00:38

find a reason?

00:39

They're not gonna have to work hard!

00:42

Looking for a reason to impeach Trump

00:44

is like looking for Waldo in a book called

00:46

"Oops! All Waldos." [ Laughter ]

00:49

Gonna be like a game of whack-a-mole

00:51

where the machine's broken

00:52

and those moles are just sitting ducks

00:54

and you get to just wail on 'em!

00:55

You get so many tickets that the girl at the prize counter

00:58

is like, "Um, you definitely cheated."

01:00

And you're like, "Um, I definitely didn't.

01:02

Now, give me my giant minion!"

01:04

[ Laughter ]

01:06

It wasn't supposed to be a picture of me.

01:08

[ Laughter ]

01:10

That was a hypothetical. I was pretending to be a kid.

01:14

I got [bleep] minion money.

01:16

[ Laughter ]

01:21

But Donald -- if you're wondering,

01:22

if you're wondering, Donald,

01:23

what they might find to impeach you over,

01:25

how about the fact that your family's crypto company

01:27

took half $1 billion from an Abu Dhabi royal

01:30

known as the Spy Sheikh,

01:31

or the fact that you let a drug kingpin

01:34

who "flooded America with cocaine" out of jail,

01:36

or the fact that you're terrorizing cities

01:37

and rounding up children,

01:39

or the fact that your name appears

01:40

more often in the Epstein files

01:42

than Eddie Murphy's name appears

01:44

in the credits of "The Nutty Professor"?

01:46

[ Laughter ]

01:48

At this point, Trump's best defense will be

01:49

that he didn't do any of this stuff,

01:51

and it was Don Jr. dressed as him

01:53

in full Klumps makeup.

01:55

[ As Donald Trump ] They did it while my back was turned

01:57

and they did it very fast.

01:58

They put the makeup on so quickly

02:00

they didn't have time to finish the hand.

02:02

[ Laughter ]

02:04

[ Normal voice ] And I do -- [ Applause ]

02:06

I do apologize that we haven't had time

02:09

to do a full deep dive on the fact

02:11

that our president has what's known as Addams Family Hand...

02:14

[ Laughter ]

02:15

...because that bad boy definitely comes off at night

02:17

and just runs around the Oval Office.

02:19

[ Laughter ]

02:20

So, Trump doesn't want to get impeached

02:22

for a third, fourth, or fifth time.

02:23

Although, I don't know what he's worried about.

02:25

He could show up at his own impeachment trial and scream,

02:27

[as Donald Trump] "That's right, I did it, and I'll do it again!"

02:29

[normal voice] and Republicans still wouldn't vote to convict.

02:33

Afterwards, Lindsey Graham would tell the press,

02:35

[as Lindsey Graham] "I saw the president today.

02:36

He's learned his lesson."

02:38

[ Laughter ]
