Trump calls Democrats impeachment push 'unpatriotic'

President Donald Trump criticised Democrats at the opening of a NATO leaders' meeting Tuesday, calling the impeachment push by his rivals unpatriotic" and a bad thing for our country."
I know most of the leaders," Trump said. I get along with them. It's a hoax. The impeachment is a hoax. It's turned out to be a hoax. It's done for purely political gain. They're going to see whether or not they can do something in 2020 because otherwise they're going to lose."
Nobody needs NATO more than France, said Trump, who himself in the past has questioned the long-term prospects of NATO because too few nations are on track to meet the alliance goal of spending at least 2 per cent of GDP on their own defense by 2024. You can't just go around making statements like that about NATO. It's very disrespectful."
