Publicly peddling his for profit private club to host the G-7 is beyond the pale. (Again). Trump is an open crook and a repeat violator of the emoluments clause. This is an impeachable offense in and of itself.

Wake up Pelosi! It’s time for impeachment hearings.

Corruption is all he understands. He exacts tribute or else he threatens.
John Gotti was at least less overt about it.

Current and former White House officials told the Post that they worried about the appearance that he was using the power of the presidency to direct taxpayer money into his own pockets.

I dunno why are they worrying… we all know is happening big time, the Trump spawns are probably doing a fortune shorting the market with advance information of the Crook-in-chief tweets…

The obvious corruption would be shocking in any other Western leader but I think right now the bigger question is if this man’s going to be capable of tying his shoes a year from now. Whatever’s wrong with him, it’s getting wronger at a rapid pace.

Oh really? As if it’s the first time he’s done this. How “concerned” the “resistance” are!
