I'm a little surprised not to see any threads on this yet, so I'll weigh in. Firstly there is now little doubt that Trump was involved in criminal behaviour, or at the very least complicit in paying others to commit criminal acts.

Since his election in November 2016, Trump’s campaign chairman, his deputy campaign manager, his national security adviser, his personal lawyer and a foreign policy aide have all admitted crimes or been convicted. at the very least even his most ardent supporters must surely see what this says about his judgement if nothing else.

One gets the impression that the longer he stays in office now, the more it will tarnish both US politics and the office of President.

I'll not pretend I don't dislike his politics or the man himself, but this has become largely moot now, given the evidence of criminal behaviour unfolding in recent days. There is little doubt he has the morals of a randy Stote, but this is not the issue, as his lies have taken on a different significance given the office he first aspired to, and now holds. A sad day for American politics on the whole.

Shades of Clinton, and Nixon here, another narcissist in love with their own self image, and believing themselves untouchable. There are some people who should simply never hold positions of power, and whilst Clinton was clever enough to fool a great many until it was too late, one wonders what people saw in Trump that they thought worthy of the White house.
