President Donald Trump took to Twitter Sunday night tout his administration's accomplishments after reports his top contender for his chief of staff job wasn't taking the position and Democrats said he could face impeachment proceedings over hush money payouts to two women during his 2016 campaign.
And we're having 'a great time doing it,' Trump noted - with an exclamation point.
'The Trump Administration has accomplished more than any other U.S. Administration in its first two (not even) years of existence, & we are having a great time doing it! All of this despite the Fake News Media, which has gone totally out of its mind-truly the Enemy of the People!,' he tweeted.
President Donald Trump took to Twitter Sunday night tout his administration's accomplishments as he searches for a chief of staff and Democrats talk impeachement
President Trump reassured America 'we are having a great time'
His tweet came after Democrats took to the Sunday morning talk shows to warn him that impeachment could be on the agenda after Friday's revelation that the president's former personal attorney Michael Cohen worked 'in coordination with and at the direction of' Donald Trump – by his own admission – to arrange for the National Enquirer to buy the rights to the two women's stories and 'kill' them, preventing media exposure of their claims.
And it comes after Nick Ayers, the top aide to Vice President Mike Pence, will not be taking the chief of staff job for the president.
Trump has repeatedly touted his administration's many accomplishments without going into detail.
Thus far the Trump administration has pulled the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accord, signed a pact with North Korea that contains no deadlines for denuclearization, increased trade tariffs with U.S. allies, and put in a place a tax cut that benefits wealth Americans.
Failures include the repeal-and-replacement of Obamacare, building a border wall - although some construction has begun - and improving infrastructure.
The administration lists its accomplishments here.
Ayers was the leading contender for the position but didn't want to commit to working in the West Wing through the 2020 presidential election.
Ayers, the 36-year-old-father of six-year-old triplets, is said to want to move back to Georgia.
He told the president he only wanted the chief job on an interim basis, for the first three months of 2019.
But Trump wanted someone who would be at his side through the upcoming re-election campaign.
The president, who originally said he would announce a new chief of staff this week, will now make an announcement by the end of the year.
Trump announced on Saturday that his Chief of Staff John Kelly would leave at the end of the year amid reports the two men were barely speaking.
The president will now be looking for a top aide to guide him through a rocky 2019 and 2020 when Democrats control the House of Representatives and are warning Trump of dangerous waters ahead.
Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy said on Sunday the public facts out of special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation show that Trump is 'beyond the stage' that led to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton.
'You are beyond the stage that led to impeachment proceedings against President Clinton, whether or not you think that was worthy of impeachment or not,' he said Sunday on ABC's 'This Week.'
He also warned Trump he has stepped into the same territory that ultimately led to President Richard Nixon's resignation.
'The president has now stepped into the same territory that ultimately led to President Nixon resigning the office. President Nixon was an unindicted co-conspirator - certainly a different set of facts. But this investigation is now starting to put the president in serious legal crosshairs, and he should be worried and the whole country should be worried,' he said.

'The Trump Administration has accomplished more than any other U.S. Administration in its first two (not even) years of existence,' President Trump tweeted
'Listen, nobody's rooting for the president to go down in this manner. This isn't good for democracy but this investigation may ultimately lead to Congress taking action,' he added.
Murphy wasn't the only lawmaker sounding the alarm.
Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff said there is a 'very real prospect' that the president will be indicted on the day he leaves office and there is a 'real prospect' he will face jail time.
'There's a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office the Justice Department may indict him. That he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time,' Schiff said Sunday on CBS' 'Face the Nation.'
'We have been discussing the issue of pardons that the president may offer to people or dangle in front of people, the bigger pardon question may come down the road as the next president has to determine whether to pardon Donald Trump,' he added.
Sentencing memos out on Friday about the Cohen case led to questions about the role Trump himself played.
Cohen 'coordinated his actions with one or more members of the campaign,' according to one of the sentencing memo, 'including through meetings and phone calls, about the fact, nature, and timing of the payments.'

And as a result, 'neither woman spoke to the press prior to the election.'
The payments were made to porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy Playmate Karen McDougal, both of whom claimed to have affairs with Trump, which he has denied.
Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler warned that it would be an 'impeachable offense' if President Trump directed the payments to Daniels and McDougal.
'Certainly they're impeachable offenses. Even though they were committed before the president became president, they were committed in the service of fraudulently obtaining the office,' he said on CNN's 'State of the Union.'
Cohen arranged for a $130,000 payment to Daniels, which prosecutors say violated campaign finance law prohibitions against donations of more than $2,700 in a general election.

Prosecutors said Trump's former personal attorney Michale Cohen coordinated with 'Individual-1,' which is how Trump is referred to in filings
A $150,000 payment by American Media Inc. to silence McDougal was an illegal corporate donation to the Trump's campaign, prosecutors claim.
Both women claim affairs with Trump, which he has denied.
Prosecutors noted Cohen had implicated the president in the payments.
'Cohen himself has now admitted, with respect to both payments, he acted in coordination with and at the direction of Individual-1,' the prosecutors wrote.
'Individual-1' refers to Trump.
Trump claimed the filings out on Friday vindicate him.
'Totally clears the President. Thank you!,' he tweeted.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
