On Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump tweeted a criticism of Hunter Biden's "Good Morning America" appearance, endorsed the reelection of Gov. Matt Bevin of Kentucky, and suggested we "Impeach the Pres."

Could it be the impeachment inquiry is getting to him?

"Just out: MEDIAN HOUSEHOLD INCOME IS AT THE HIGHEST POINT EVER, EVER, EVER! How about saying it this way, IN THE HISTORY OF OUR COUNTRY!" he wrote. "Also, MORE PEOPLE WORKING TODAY IN THE USA THAN AT ANY TIME IN HISTORY! Tough numbers for the Radical Left Democrats to beat! Impeach the Pres."

Trump has of late spoken out against the impeachment inquiry, calling it a "witch hunt." Earlier this month, he said the Democrats "have been trying to impeach me since the day I got elected."

"I've been going through this for three years," he said. "They've been trying to impeach me from the day I got elected, and you know what? They failed."

Even so, the tweet didn't go unnoticed. Max Steele, an aide to the Democratic presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar, saw it.

The Los Angeles Times writer Joel Stein said it might validate the idea that Trump is actually gunning to be impeached.

One imagined this might be part of Trump's grand plan.

The BuzzFeed News editor David Mack had a plausible explanation for the message.

In the hour after Trump tweeted that message, he posted two additional tweets, both in support of the Mississippi gubernatorial candidate Tate Reeves.

Meanwhile, the House impeachment inquiry continued on Tuesday with closed-door testimony from George Kent, a deputy assistant secretary of state, who is expected to speak about Rudy Giuliani's involvement in efforts to pressure Ukrainian officials to investigate Hunter Biden and his father, former Vice President Joe Biden.
