This is devastating testimony. Whatever positive image the President may have had among those who like his agenda, he has left too many questions of his fitness as President.
Yeah, their best defense is quickly becoming "Well...Trump was too stupid to realize what he was doing!"
Which is just pathetic.
What kind of "experience" or "intelligence" does one need to to not make a barely-veiled threat to a subordinate to drop a criminal investigation of a close ally out of "loyalty" rather than truth, and thereafter fire the subordinate when he doesn't comply? This is basic right and wrong that most 10th graders with a conscience would know is an abuse of power.
How does this differ from Trump's modus operandi since birth of covering the asses of he and his own, and demanding absolute "loyalty" (i.e. blind obedience, right or wrong) to him by everyone around him?
