During a speech in Nashville, Trump bragged about being impeached.
His approval numbers plummeted after he was impeached for the second time.
He was the only president in US history to be impeached twice.
On Friday, Donald Trump bragged that he was impeached twice and attacked former Vice President Mike Pence and former Attorney General William Barr.
In a speech to the Faith and Freedom Coalition in Nashville, the former president mocked Barr for being "afraid" of being impeached and said that Vice President Mike Pence didn't have the courage to embrace his effort to overturn the election.
Being impeached is not wrong. Trump said his poll numbers went up after he was impeached. The approval ratings of the former president went up after he was impeached, but then fell after he was impeached again for inciting a deadly insurrection at the US Capitol.
Trump repeated his baseless claims about election fraud moments later. The same phrase was used by Trump's detractors on social media as he weathered a series of scandals. Even though a majority of Americans disapproved of his handling of the job, his approval numbers remained remarkably steady among Republican voters.

The House select committee investigating the January 6 Capitol riot held hearings in Washington this week and laid out damning findings on the effort by the former president and his allies to overturn a US presidential election.
The hearing delivered a stark warning over the threat posed to US democracy by the former president and his supporters.
Trump and his supporters are a danger to American democracy according to a former federal judge.
"That's not because of what happened on January 6, it's because of what the former president and his allies and supporters promise in the presidential election of 2024," he said.
He worked in the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush and was a clerk for conservative Supreme Court justices.
