Trump’s “leadership”
In the same issue of The Spokesman-Review where Mark Duclos says things are going great with Trump (June 16, 2018) is the story about the Trump Foundation receiving $2.8 million and turning it over to his campaign for disbursement. It also outlines many fines that were paid for illegal contributions to political groups.
An earlier section states that Paul Manafort, Trump’s campaign manager, was jailed due to allegations of witness tampering. Another story describes how Attorney General Jeff Sessions cites the Bible as the explanation for separating parents and children at the border. The Bible is a wonderful book, but it is not based on our Constitution’s Rule of Law.
So, in conclusion, people are not asking for Trump’s impeachment because they don’t agree with him, they are demanding a change because he is not following the laws he has taken an oath to uphold.
