President Trump had impeachment on his mind Friday morning, firing off a pair of tweets boasting that he’s done such a bang-up job that the idea was preposterous.

“How do you impeach a president who has won perhaps the greatest election of all time, done nothing wrong (no Collusion with Russia, it was the Dems that Colluded), had the most successful first two years of any president, and is the most popular Republican in party history 93%?” the commander-in-chief tweeted at 8:16 a.m.

Gallup polling showed that Trump’s approval among Republicans was 88 percent in December.

A Reuters/Ipsos survey released Thursday showed that 81 percent of Republicans approved of the job Trump was doing as president, and it was not immediately clear where the 93 percent figure cited by the president came from.

President George W. Bush had a 92 percent approval rating in December 2002 in the wake of 9/11, believed to be a record for a GOP president.

The president also said that Democrats’ only motive for raising the specter of impeachment was politics.

“As I have stated many times, if the Democrats take over the House or Senate, there will be disruption to the Financial Markets. We won the Senate, they won the House. Things will settle down. They only want to impeach me because they know they can’t win in 2020, too much success!” he tweeted at 8:06 a.m.

House Democrats, notably freshman Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian-American, want to launch impeachment proceedings immediately — a move that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she opposes, though she hasn’t ruled it out at some point.

Tlaib declared during a meeting with activists Thursday night that she and her Democratic colleagues were going to “impeach the motherf–ker.”

A day later, she was unapologetic.

“I will always speak truth to power,” Tlaib tweeted Friday, adding the hashtag #unapologeticallyMe.

“This is not just about Donald Trump. This is about all of us. In the face of this constitutional crisis, we must rise,” she added in a second tweet.

She repeated the sentiment in a third, adding a link to an opinion piece she wrote for the Detroit Free Press with Massachusetts lawyer and activist John Bonifaz calling for impeachment.

“Now is the time to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump,” she repeated.
