Well, it's also the fact that he's already being investigated for this exact same thing. Wouldn't you think he'd know to not add more proof?

until someone slaps him down, and hard, he will continue violating norms. that is just who he is. #spoiledchild

He will continue to violate norms. We need to stop him from doing it as the President.

Won't happen, as long as the Trump ass-lickers keep on denying there's a problem.

He will continue to violate norms. We need to stop him from doing it as the President. Agreed. Every time he violates another norm, it diminishes the shock value. First time, it's HUGE! Second time, look, he's done it again (little less surprising, because he's done it before). He does it 5, 6, 12 times, and everyone reacts with - ugh, now what? Eh, par for the course with Trump... At this point, what's he got to lose by repeating the action, if the actual repetition numbs us to the change?

All the comments over the years about how Clinton debased the presidency with all of the allegations, and, of course, the blue dress. And how Obama was lowering the presidency by being a Muslim Kenyan whose wife wore a sleeveless dress (while being ‘others’).
Now we have this pumpkin dropping a steamer on We The People every damn day and wiping his bulbous ass with the Constitution and the cult drones slurp it all up with $10 straws. What hypos.

If someone is a political opponent, they have free reign and can't be investigated for criminal activity ? Don't get what you're trying to say here. If that applies, isn't Trump a political opponent of the Democrats ? What foreign governments have the Democrats asked to investigate DT?...and out loud in front of reporters on tv/video? If Democrats and their families commit crimes in other countries it's ok ? Because they are political opponents of Trump ? A president can't ask these governments to investigate what the Biden's are doing, because Democrats haven't asked similar ?

The Democrats that pander to that demographic, are going to fix their problems. Utopia for all is just around the corner.

He's too effing stupid to know when to keep his mouth shut because he thinks he can do whatever he wants. he genuinely believes what he says, no matter how stupid. that has always concerned me about him.
John Oliver once called this kind of lying "genuinely disruptive" because it causes you to question your own memory of things. he says things with such CONVICTION that you HAVE to employ your records to determine whether it is true or not.
Also known as gaslighting.

A president can't ask these governments to investigate what the Biden's are doing, because Democrats haven't asked similar ? WOW! What a lot of moving the goal posts & trying deflection too! That is President Trump's defense of the day. Guess he wasn't too worried about Biden when he had the House and Senate to do the investigation. Makes perfect sense to wait until he is a political opponent for an upcoming election and withhold foreign aid to get a foreign country to investigate. I mean, what could possibly be wrong with that?
“As President I have an obligation to end CORRUPTION, even if that means requesting the help of a foreign country or countries. It is done all the time,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “This has NOTHING to do with politics or a political campaign against the Bidens. This does have to do with their corruption!” www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-tries-out-new-defenses-as-damaging-ukraine-evidence-piles-up/ar-AAIgREd?ocid=spartandhp

He will openly and shamelessy ask foreign countries to investigate the Bidens because there is nothing wrong with that. The phone call was hidden, no big deal. Here is a partial transcript. There is "no quid pro quo". If he can cast enough reasonable doubt with the public they won't support impeachment.

It's quite alright for a president to inquire of a foreign power, to investigate illegal activities taking place inside said country. (It's in the wording)

For the benefit of the country. Not himself.
Telling today when asked if he ever asked anyone to investigate corruption that wasn’t a political opponent he couldn’t recall...

It was never about himself, he has the good of the country in mind. Alleged criminal families like the Biden's, shouldn't be a choice in the next election. Even if the Democratic base seems to think it's ok, as in 'not their candidate' ! (swoon) This type of thing needs to be in the open. The presidents job is quite stressful and has many aspects. It would be impossible to remember every detail. (It's all in the wording)

The only way to expose criminal activity by US citizens in a foreign country, is to ask those who run it, to investigate. Seems to be a lot of defensive posting here, in regards to this. The Biden's are law abiding Democratic politicians, aren't they ? What would be the worry about a little investigation ?

At least it is good to know. Republicans are perfectly fine with the President of the US to invite foreign governments to interfere in the election and use the taxpayer money to do it. I agree with the opinion piece linked: The president exerts unilateral control over the most powerful government on Earth. He is announcing to every foreign state that American relations with his government — and, should he prevail, every future government — can and will be influenced by their willingness to put their judicial or quasi-judicial systems at the disposal of his reelection campaign. www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/the-only-issue-left-is-trumps-absolute-right-to-solicit-collusion/ar-AAIgMFC?ocid=spartandhp

Quote; W hen Donald Trump Was a Democrat. It turns out you don't have to look far to find evidence that Trump wasn't always a conservative Republican. Trump was registered as a Democrat for more than eight years in the 2000s, according to New York City voter records made public during his campaign for president in 2016.www.thoughtco.com/was-donald-trump-a-democrat-3367571

Conservatives prefer to employ them. If they wanted to do anything different than that, on a grander scale, they would have done just that during all those years where they controlled the House, Senate, and the White House (11 out of the last 19 years). Instead it was Obama that became the deporter in chief.

At least it is good to know. Republicans are perfectly fine with the President of the US to invite foreign governments to investigate criminal activity involving US citizens. I agree with the opinion in the line above. Since the Biden's are law abiding Democrat politicians, there is nothing to worry about. All the Democrats are saying "go ahead, investigate. You will find nothing." Instead of spinning it back as a wrong doing by Trump.
