President Donald Trump may be out of the country on official business, but his mind was back in Washington on his impeachment trial.


The president tweeted out one of his catchphrases as Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) delivered a point-by-point rebuttal to Republican defenses of Trump's actions and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's efforts to rush through an acquittal.

"READ THE TRANSCRIPTS!" Trump tweeted in all caps from Davos, Switzerland.

Other social media users mocked his blurted response.
