(CNN) -- President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday that he would "love" to sit in the Senate chamber while his own impeachment hearing is taking place, adding he would "sit in the front row and stare in their corrupt faces," referring to House and Senate Democrats.

Trump has previously claimed he would be willing to take a more central role in his legal defenses, including the Mueller investigation, when he repeatedly said he would gladly sit down with investigators but never did.

"I'd love to go. Wouldn't that be great? Wouldn't that be beautiful?" Trump told reporters at a press conference that focused largely on the trial back in Washington as he departed the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Meanwhile, the Senate is preparing the hear the House impeachment managers' first day of opening arguments where they will lay out their case for Trump's impeachment.

1. That isn't the chamber I'd pick for him.

[dewsgirl]

10. 😉

[Wounded Bear]

2. They ought to make him do it...

let him squirm there for 12 hours.

[2naSalit]

13. "Silence upon pain of imprisonment"...

Hmmm, what could go wrong there?

I hope he throws a tantrum when MM doesn't let him go.

I'm getting so exhausted from this and I am one of those people who can sit through some long and boring sessions that go on for months... those not threatening my personal being that is. This not only seems endless but also offensive to my good health and well being.

[Wounded Bear]

15. And no phone...

[2naSalit]

16. That would be the dealbreaker there for sure!

I could see a big fight over that in the next few days, what else has he got going on?

He'll fight about it but he won't push it too hard because he has to twit about it. It's as bad an addiction as his adderall jones.

3. Ok, he would not be able to "remain silent" maybe that is how we put him in jail.

And he could not have his phone, no tweeting. He would get twitchy after a while.

[world wide wally]

4. All hat.... No cattle

[magicarpet]

7. All mouth,...

No action,..
No results.

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. OMG. does he know they'll take away his phone for that?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

6. Talk about turning the Senate into a 3 ring circus...

With the HEAD CLOWN present. Not being able to tweet would be devestating.

[onethatcares]

8. and if he only had

a weapon and body armor he'd have run into Parkland and stopped that mass murderer.....we know all about his bravery

[Atticus]

9. A heaping wheelbarrow of horseshit parked in the center aisle would have

the same effect.

Actually, if I had to choose, I'd take the real horseshit.

11. There is nothing stopping him under Rule XXIII

The President has access to the Floor of the Senate under Rule XXIII. Him going to the chamber would be great. It would show the process to be the farce that it is.

[Hekate]

12. He's in Davos. Talking. Representing us. Oh gods.

[kentuck]

14. I'm sure thst could be arranged.

Since he is in such a generous mood, perhaps he would like to volunteer to answer some questions?
