In a letter to House Democratic leadership on Tuesday, White House counsel, Pat Cipollone, announced that the Trump administration would not cooperate with the ongoing impeachment inquiry just hours after blocking the testimony of the United States ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland. Sondland was scheduled to be interviewed by Congress in a closed session on Tuesday morning, but he failed to appear just as Trump tweeted out the message below.
I don’t think this mentality is limited to the Courts. I think Mr. Trump wants his subjects (us) and other world leaders to treat His Highness in this way. I feared when Mr. Trump was elected that he would mentally position the government as a corporation; he the CEO, his shareholders being friends in Congress and the Courts and those who elected him. This overt turn of the Presidency into a near-Monarchy - and those who would seek to overturn the Crown risk its wrath - is suffocating the very riches of democracy. Makes my stomach flip. The work required by the next President to ‘undo’ many of the things Mr. Trump has done is hard to fathom.
Pelosi is partly to blame for this. Her delay of Impeachment emboldened him & all Republicans. The test going forward will be to hit them hard. Experience tells me she will not do this, I hope I am wrong.
In the Orange Asscactus’ delusional world, he IS a king. Why wouldn’t he think so, since Republicans keep treating him like one and he truly believes that the laws don’t apply to him?
