唐纳德·特朗普总统周五在密西西比州的共和党集会上发起攻势——攻击弹劾调查，驳回正在进行的交换指控这是一场骗局，是对提出指控的民主党人的嘲弄。
特朗普自周一以来只向记者发表过两次讲话，但有一次，在2016年以近18个百分点的优势击败希拉里·克林顿的那个州，总统在国内民众面前驳斥了不当行为的指控。
议长南希·佩洛西、众议院情报委员会主席亚当·希夫、前副总统和2020年总统候选人乔·拜登在特朗普向图珀洛人群发表讲话时都站在他的火线上。
总统驳斥了民主党弹劾的核心观点，讽刺地开玩笑说打败拜登的唯一方法就是寻求乌克兰的帮助。
特朗普讥讽地说:“让我想想，我有一个叫瞌睡虫乔·拜登的家伙。”。“我怎么打败这家伙？
“啧啧，我猜只有一个办法。让我们打电话给乌克兰寻求帮助。”
2019年11月1日，在密西西比州图珀洛市，唐纳德·特朗普总统在南方银行竞技场举行的“保持美国伟大”竞选集会上嘲笑民主党人。
特朗普还重复了现在被揭穿的说法是拜登威胁要扣留10亿美元的援助为了保护他儿子的生意往来。
他补充说，他甚至对拜登声称的行为“印象深刻”，在再次嘲笑前副总统之前，他说:“我认为他没有精力和脑力”。
“嗯，原来是这样...他没有，”特朗普补充道。“顺便说一句，他像石头一样掉了下来。”
特朗普回到自己关于拒绝向乌克兰提供军事援助以换取出于政治动机的调查的指控上，表示他不会这样做。
“不管怎样，现在我是一个诚实的人，但是你认为当我打电话给一个新当选的国家总统时，当我知道这么多人在听电话时，我会说些不恰当的话吗？”他说。
特朗普把注意力转向佩洛西和希夫，他说:“当我们创造就业机会和杀害恐怖分子时，民主党已经完全疯了。”
“自从我获胜后，他们就一直在密谋推翻选举，”他补充道。“他们实际上在监视我的竞选，”重复一个从未被证实的持续的说法。
“现在腐败的政治家南希·佩洛西和‘西弗蒂’亚当·希夫，媒体继续疯狂的弹劾政治迫害。弹劾这个词，对我来说是一个肮脏的词，不是一个好词。
"美国人民受够了民主党的谎言、恶作剧和极端主义。"
特朗普在挤满竞技场的15，000人面前发表了评论，许多人等了几个小时才入场。
除了试图削弱民主党的弹劾努力，特朗普还在周二投票反对该州司法部长民主党人吉姆·胡德之前支持共和党副州长泰特·里维斯。
然而，在夜幕降临之前，特朗普还瞄准了贝托·奥洛克，这位民主党总统候选人在民调中跌至1%后宣布打算退出竞选。
“他像条狗一样退出了，”特朗普说。"贝托，那个可怜的，可怜的家伙."
特朗普补充道:“他说他生来就是为了这个，就像他从天堂出生并降临一样。”。"任何说他生来就是为了这个的人，他们都有麻烦了。"
DONALD TRUMP JOKES HE'LL NEED TO CALL UKRAINE TO BEAT 'SLEEPY JOE BIDEN' AT MISSISSIPPI RALLY
President Donald Trump went on the offensive at a GOP rally in Mississippi on Friday—attacking the impeachment inquiry, dismissing ongoing quid pro quo allegations as a hoax and mocking the Democrats who have brought the claims.
Trump has addressed reporters only twice since Monday, but once in the state where he defeated Hillary Clinton by nearly 18 percentage points in 2016, the president batted away accusations of wrongdoing in front of the home crowd.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, and former Vice President and 2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden were all in Trump's line of fire as he addressed the Tupelo crowd.
The president dismissed the notion that lies at the heart of Democrats' impeachment push, joking sarcastically that the only way to defeat Biden was to enlist the help of Ukraine.
"Let's see, I've got a guy named Sleepy Joe Biden," Trump said mockingly. "How do I beat this guy?
"Gee, I guess there's only one way. Let's call up Ukraine for help."
President Donald Trump mocks Democrats during a "Keep America Great" campaign rally at BancorpSouth Arena on November 1, 2019 in Tupelo, Mississippi.
Trump also repeated the now-debunked claim that Biden threatened to withhold $1bn of aid to Ukraine in order to protect his son's business dealings.
He added he was even "impressed" with Biden's purported behavior, stating: "I didn't think he had the energy, the brain power," before mocking the former vice president again.
"Well, it turns out... he doesn't," Trump added. "By the way, he's dropping like a rock."
Returning to his own allegations of withholding military aid to Ukraine in return for a politically motivated investigation, Trump said he would not do something like that.
"Now I'm an honest person anyway, but do you think when I'm making a call to a newly elected president of a country that I would say something improper when I know so many people are listening on the line?" he said.
Turning his attention to Pelosi and Schiff, Trump said: "While we're creating jobs and killing terrorists, the Democrat party has gone completely insane."
"They've been plotting to overthrow the election since I won," he added. "They actually spied on my campaign," repeating an ongoing claim that has never been substantiated.
"Now corrupt politicians Nancy Pelosi and 'Shifty' Adam Schiff, and the media are continuing with the deranged impeachment witch hunt. The word impeachment, to me it's a dirty word, not a good word.
"The American people are fed up with Democrat lies, hoaxes and extremism."
Trump made the comments in front of a capacity 15,000 people who packed the arena, many waiting several hours to get in.
Aside from trying to dent the Democrats' impeachment efforts, Trump was also on hand to endorse Republican Lieutenant Governor Tate Reeves before a Tuesday vote against Democrat Jim Hood, the state's attorney general.
Before the night was finished, however, Trump also took aim at Beto O'Rourke, the Democratic presidential hopeful who announced his intention to leave the race after dropping to 1% in the polls.
"He quit like a dog," Trump said. "Beto, that poor b*****d—poor, pathetic guy."
"He said he was born for it, like he was born from heaven and came down," Trump added. "Anybody who says that he was born for this, they are in trouble."
