US President Donald Trump took to Twitter to ask his millions of followers to say a prayer, as the House of Representatives was readying to impeach a president for only the third time in the country's history.

“Can you believe that I will be impeached today by the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats, AND I DID NOTHING WRONG! A terrible Thing. Read the Transcripts. This should never happen to another President again. Say a PRAYER!” Trump posted.

The president was also rapidly sharing the posts of supporters in the conservative media and quoted a leading Republican in Congress who denounced the impeachment process and said of Trump’s opponents: “all they had was never to let him have an easy breath”.
