Trump: If You Impeach Me, Future Presidents Will Be Impeached For Taking ‘Orange Out Of Fridge’
President Donald Trump went on a bizarre rant on Tuesday during a press briefing featuring him and Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Asked by a reporter about his impending impeachment, Trump lashed out at House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff, calling him a “deranged human being” and a “very sick man.”
Trump then issued a dire warning to Democratic lawmakers who are threatening him with possible articles of impeachment.
The president argued that if he were to be impeached, a future Democratic president could be impeached for grabbing an orange the wrong way.
“Someday, hopefully in a very long, distant future, you will have a Democrat [sic] president, you have a Republican House, and they’ll do the same thing, because somebody picked an orange out of a refrigerator and you don’t like it — so let’s go and impeach him,” Trump said, per reporting from Bloomberg News’ Twitter account.

Trump said someday a Democrat will be impeached by a Republican House for picking an orange out of the refrigerator.
We’re picking an orange out of the toilet.

"Someone picked an orange out of the refrigerator and they didn't like it." – Trump, comparing himself being impeached to an illegitimate orange. In a refrigerator. For some reason.
