One of the biggest events of the year was the Super Bowl and naturally, US President Donald Trump and his family celebrated the win of the Kansas City Chiefs over the weekend. Now, the President is back in Washington D.C., just before his upcoming State of the Union speech as well as the final vote decided by the Senate.
The Daily Mail reports that Trump and his family, First Lady Melania Trump and their son Barron Trump, arrived at Washington D.C. after spending the weekend at the Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. The First Family hosted a watch party of the Super Bowl at the Trump International Golf Club. It was Trump’s weekend off from all the unrest surrounding him and his upcoming impeachment trial, in which both sides are already laying out their final arguments.
Before the Super Bowl, the President sat down with Fox News’ Sean Hannity and aired his grievances regarding the scandals like the upcoming election in November as well as say a few choice words to his political opponents. It was in the interview that Trump revealed that his family was somehow suffering throughout the impeachment process. The President is currently charged for abuse of power and obstruction of justice, and the Senators will be casting the final votes come Wednesday on whether or not he should be removed from office.
The watch party in Florida did lift Trump’s spirits as they were welcomed by the Florida Atlantic University marching band. As far as his State of the Union address goes, Trump revealed during the halftime show to the reporters who were present that they are looking into giving a positive message to the public.
Back at the impeachment trial, Trump is expected to be acquitted of the charges placed against him in a predominantly republican Senate. The Guardian reports that more and more senators are expected to vote for acquittal. Just on the 31st of January, the votes were split 51-49 in favor of not calling new witnesses nor present new evidence. Only two Republicans - Mitt Romney and Susan Collins, voted for the latter along with the rest of the democratic senators.
