Trump Jokes About a Possible Third Impeachment

President Trump joked Friday about a possible third impeachment if Democrats take control of Congress in the midterms, immediately treating the prospect as familiar territory.

He made the comment while speaking with reporters before boarding Marine One for Mobile, Alabama. Fox News reporter Peter Doocy asked about the possibility of another impeachment effort. That question raised a future congressional scenario, but it also reopened a fight Trump has already faced twice.

The Question Wasn’t Entirely Hypothetical

The possibility is tied to the midterm balance of power. Outgoing Democratic Rep. Al Green has repeatedly brought impeachment resolutions against Trump. Green’s latest measure failed, with many Democrats voting present. At the same time, top Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, have been distancing themselves from impeachment talk for now.

Trump Turned a Serious Question Into a Joke

Trump brushed off the prospect of future impeachments as “fake.” Doocy pointed out that Trump had already been impeached twice and asked what a third time would mean. Trump answered, “Well, I don’t know, but I’m getting good at it.”

The response gave no indication that another impeachment effort is certain. Instead, Trump treated the idea as something familiar and used humor to minimize its immediate force. His answer also kept attention on the broader dispute over whether impeachment has been used fairly.

His Answer Quickly Shifted to Biden and Clinton

Trump then compared the situation with Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton. He said similar action could have been taken against Biden, but that he chose not to do so because it would have been inappropriate. He made the same point about Clinton, saying he had the opportunity but declined.

That comparison was the second layer of his response. Trump cast himself as having resisted impeachment against political opponents while saying Democrats have been willing to pursue it against him. The result was a short exchange that mixed a possible future fight with an argument about past choices.

The exchange is shown in the video below.

Why It Matters

This story matters because it connects control of Congress to a question that could shape the next phase of the fight between Trump and congressional Democrats. The exchange does not establish that another impeachment would happen. It shows something more limited but still important: impeachment remains part of the political conversation, while Democratic leaders are trying to keep their distance from it for now. That leaves voters, lawmakers, and party leaders watching both the election outcome and the choices that follow it.

It also explains why Trump brought Biden and Clinton into an answer about a possible future proceeding. His comparison shifts the discussion from whether impeachment could return to whether both parties have applied the same standard when dealing with political rivals. Democrats would still have to decide whether to move beyond talk, while Trump’s response suggests he would answer any renewed effort by pointing back to what he says he chose not to do. The central question left open is whether a change in congressional control would lead to another resolution or only more debate.
