During his CPAC speech over the weekend, Donald Trump bragged that he "became worse" after his second impeachment. The statement was meant to contrast his claim that former Attorney General Bill Barr was scared of impeachment, but instead it came across as a bitter old man whining about being held accountable for his actions. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this bizarre claim and why it sent the crowd into uproarious applause.

So over the weekend, the CPAC convention took place in Texas. And of course, Donald Trump came, he spoke, he said a lot of really stupid and crazy things. But there's just a couple points about Trump's speech that really need to be discussed. One of them is the fact that during his speech, Donald Trump started talking about his second impeachment, which is interesting because typically Donald Trump likes to avoid those issues. But he started talking about his impeachment. He talked about Bill Barr and the fact that Democrats allegedly wanted to impeach Barr and just never did. And how, after all of it, Trump made the decision to just become worse, compared of course to William Barr who became, I guess, I don't know, a nicer guy. Here's what Trump had to say. He became a different man when the Democrats viciously stated that they wanted to impeach him, they went wild. We want to impeach him. We're going to impeach Bill Barr. We're going to impeach him. He became different. I understand that. I didn't become different. I got impeached twice. I became worse. I became worse.

He said it twice to make sure everybody understood that not only did he not change, but he also changed by becoming worse. So yeah, I mean, you know, if you overlook the glaring hypocrisy of those two sentences that are basically back to back. Sure. But think about what the man is admitting to right here. I became worse. So after he was held accountable to a degree twice for his behavior, he said, nope, I'm not going to learn the right lesson. I'm not going to be a better person. I'm not going to go out there and try to do better. I'm not going to try to stop breaking the law, even though he was never convicted for them. He said, nope, I'm going to actively become a worse human being as a result of this. Luckily after that second impeachment, he was out of office. So if he became worse, at least he didn't get to become worse as a president, as a person with any kind of power or authority here in the United States, he went back to Florida, went down to Mar-a-Lago and just sat and stewed in his anger for months and months and months, launching his little pathetic blog that ultimately failed. You know, thinking about maybe starting a new party, fracturing the Republican party. Yeah, that went nowhere.

Essentially watching as his popularity continued to nosedive while the popularity of others like Florida governor Ron DeSantis continued to rise. And of course, Joe Biden taking over as president, doing a job that most Americans are like, yeah, I'm fine with this. Everything's cool now. And that's what Trump did. So if he became worse, again, at least he became worse in a capacity where he quite literally couldn't do anything. He attempted to lash out multiple times from Mar-a-Lago attacking Republicans, attacking Democrats, but he had to do it via those stupid little statements because he's banned from pretty much every social media platform out there, or at least banned from the ones that people actually care about. But again, he admitted that it made him worse and the crowd loved it. The crowd loved hearing that the man they've put up on this pedestal became a worse human being because for the first time in his life, he was actually held accountable for his disgusting actions.
