President Donald Trump criticized the publication of an op-ed in the New York Times by an unnamed senior official in his administration during a rally in Montana on Thursday but failed to pronounce the word "anonymous," twice.

"The latest act of resistance is the op-ed published in the failing New York Times by an (attempt to say anonymous), really an (attempt to say anonymous), gutless coward," he said. "Nobody knows who the hell he is, or she, although they put he, but probably that's a little disguised. That means it's she."

Twitter users pointed out how incapable the president was after he was unable to say the word "anonymous."

The Times op-ed alleges that there is a coordinated effort to impeach Trump from within his own government.

Talking about "fake news," Trump claimed Thursday night that the media "excoriated" former President Abraham Lincoln when he gave the Gettysburg Address in 1863, only to praise it years later, and said this could happen with him, too.

"You know when Abraham Lincoln made that Gettysburg Address speech, the great speech, you know he was ridiculed?" Trump said during the rally, citing the 272-word speech that Lincoln gave on a battlefield near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, during the Civil War.

"And he was excoriated by the fake news. They had fake news then. They said it was a terrible, terrible speech," Trump said, adding: "Fifty years after his death they said it may have been the greatest speech ever made in America... I have a feeling that's going to happen with us. In different ways, that's going to happen with us."

Meanwhile, Trump also speculated about his impeachment and used it to attempt convincing his supporters to vote for Republicans in November’s midterm elections.

“This election, you aren’t just voting for a candidate, you’re voting for which party controls Congress,” Trump said. “I don’t even bring it up, because I view it as something that... you know... they like to use the ‘impeach’ word, ‘impeach Trump.’ But I say, how do you impeach somebody that’s doing a great job, that hasn’t done anything wrong? Our economy is good. How do you do it? How do you do it?”

He added, "It is so ridiculous. But we will worry about that, it ever happens, but if it does happen it is your fault because you did not go out and vote. You did not go out to vote, that is the only way it can happen. I will be the only president in history that will say what a job he has done, by the way, we are impeaching him."
