President Donald Trump said he doesn’t see a reason for Congress to impeach him but that the stock market would plummet and Americans would be poorer if lawmakers did so.

"I don’t know how you can impeach somebody who’s done a great job," Trump said in a wide-ranging interview with Fox News broadcast Thursday. "I’ll tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the the market would crash. I think everybody would be very poor. Because without this thinking you would see numbers that you wouldn’t believe, in reverse."
