Yes they will. Looking back, while Nixon was a devious, self absorbed SOB, he is not in Trump's league. Unfortunately, this is not going to end well for the American people.
This morning I heard Trudeau's remarks following the G7 and Larry Kudlow essentially trashing Trudeau on the Sunday morning talk shows.
It is incredible that there are characters like Kudlow and Guliani who are willing to destroy any legacy they may have built by participating in this charade.
Obviously it is a one sided controversy created purely for the political base in the US while ignoring any of the long term interest of the US.
There is indeed no way this can end well for the US and the world order!
there seems to be a lot of connections to the corruption and graft from nixon, through reagan, w and now trump. trump has just removed any pretense of cooth.
For all the faults of Reagan, the Bushes, Clinton, and Obama, they were at heart patriots--they tried to do what they thought was best for the country.
Trump, IMO, is much more concerned with his own benefit than the country's.
yes he is, but the gop/conservatives are all in and have shown no signs of breaking from supporting him and whatever he does
Bazza, you ask what would we have Republicans in congress do about the bizarre things that Trump does nearly every day. Well for a starter they could simply call attention to it when he lies. They could say publicly that his tweets are inappropriate (or false). They could mention in an interview that freedom of the press is essential to an informed citizenry, and an informed citizenry is essential to democracy. They could speak out in support of the institutions upon which we all depend for the strength of our nation, institutions Trump has trashed repeatedly: the FBI, the DOJ, the seventeen intelligence agencies that most presidents and congresses depend on for reliable information about our international foes. The could bring legislation to the floor after sufficient bipartisan consideration and in enough time for a healthy debate on the floor. Those are a few of the things they could do instead of their cowardly silence, and devotion to their highly rewarded careers. In the present situation, with this fifth grade schoolyard bully in the oval office, these things would require a set of balls. They would require an attitude of 'what is right for the American people' instead of 'what is good for me". It seems pretty simple to me.
It seemed exactly the same with Nixon and he was elected under a cloud. On a lighter note, Borowitz was hilarious this morning. His breaking news was that Kim Jong Un had offered to host a peace conference between the US and Canada...
thanks for the perspective. i was 4 going on 5 when nixon resigned. i was excited when ford was president because we had the same birthday, bastille day.
I have a feeling that Trump is going into this meeting vastly underestimating Kim Jong Un, and we all know what can happen when you underestimate your opponent.
yeah, about all of that talk about disrespecting old glory
I have a feeling you’re wrong...Kim Jong Un realizes this is not a weak leader like Obama or Clinton. America will come out on top.
If Russia decides we should perhaps. Also Trump is not strong. Trump is what someone who isn't strong thinks strong people are like. He's a crybaby and he whines non-stop. Not sure where you folks keep thinking he has some kind of machismo going because it's very obvious that he's an insecure little toddler who can never live up to the fact that his daddy didn't love him enough.
