Trump went off on a rant against Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) that only served to elevate Amash and the case for impeachment.

Trump still doesn’t understand that when he attacks his critics, he elevates them.
He is the President Of The United States. He has a more prominent platform. When he attacks someone, he amplifies their argument against him. Trump does not win these fights. He is always the loser because he is punching down and elevating the case against him for impeachment.
The more Trump engages in his natural urge to fight back, the deeper his hole gets on impeachment.
No matter how much Senate Republicans protect him, Trump is losing the war on impeachment.
