I think @realDonaldTrump is saying that it's harder now for him to pressure foreign leaders into taking actions that benefit or enrich him personally--
--because the impeachment exposed his methods.
(He equates his own personal interests with the nation's interests)

@realDonaldTrump Trump is making a point I've been thinking about: A value of the impeachment proceeding—even if it doesn't remove him from office—is that becomes almost impossible for him pull off another similar operation before the election.
Everyone is wise to it now.

@realDonaldTrump Agree⤵️
Once reason I believe Democrats don't understand that they're winning is because they often have unrealistic expectations.
He probably won't be removed. But weakening him, and making it harder for him to operate (and be reelected) are wins.

@realDonaldTrump Conversely, a blatantly unfair trial exposes the Republican Party as actively shielding a lawbreaking president.
The cultist will never leave Trump.
We can have a landslide without them—if enough people see the GOP for what they have become.

@realDonaldTrump Another good point: People inside will find it easier to withstand pressure to do something immoral or illegal.
With Operation Ukraine Shakedown, Trump assumed he could hide anything that happened in the executive branch.
Now he knows he can't.
