    This is an explanation, but not an excuse, for a good deal of Trump's difficulty adhering to the standards we expect of presidents in running foreign policy & law enforcement. He's never run an enterprise before whose interests were not effectively inseparable from his own.https://twitter.com/JuddLegum/status/1186736440845225989 …

    WOW. This is Bill Taylor's testimony. “Ambassador Sondland tried to explain to me that President Trump is a businessman. When a businessman is about to sign a check to someone who owes him something, he said, the businessman asks that person to pay up before signing the check.”

        It's perfectly appropriate for Trump to say "before I do you this favor, do one for me," if he's either doing a favor with his own money or asking one that benefits the nation. The problem is using US power for benefits that are solely personal or political to Trump.

        This is two horrific apologist takes on Trump's behavior today, Dan. That's what we like to call the Trumpian double play

        Saying the words doesn't mean he has the psychological ability to do it. Why would his oath as president be any more serious than his fiduciary responsibility to multiple sets of stockholders in Trump Casino bankruptcies?

        We've heard he is a business man, and we've heard he is in the hospitality business. What we'd like to hear is that he actually understands that he is President of the United States, and for him to start acting like it.

        It's more than that though. Even among that small circle of really rich guys who own private companies, he seems uniquely unable to imagine any universe where his personal needs aren't the thing that EVERYONE ought to cater to at all times under all circumstances.
