The final death throes of trump? (#3941)

     After yesterday's witness account of how trump bullied the state department so that he could coerce an ally into doing his personal bidding, trump had to go get his own real attorney, barr at justice to defend him. Everything I just wrote is evidence that this appointed president is struggling to change the narrative from the truth of his behavior and actions. He is desperate to point out some other shiny object for the rest of us to focus on because his own pattern of selfishness and deceit are too understandable to the world at large and makes him see himself for the fool and master harmer he is.
     With more damning evidence to be given the first of next week we the public will be able to cement our view that trump is a cad and bully who is not very adept at his coercive and intimidating strategy. He broke the law when he asked for something else on a personal level to harm someone who is challenging him in this coming election by using allocated funds to another country as bait. He isn't the god he thinks he is and when the impeachment vote comes it will be well earned by trump. He must be feeling the walls closing in on him but will he be able to withstand the pressure or will he thrash about before finally succumbing to his legal consequences?
     I think he will succumb because his nature is not one of a virtuous one. He will obfuscate and obstruct for now but others who are being sucked into his failing sphere will likely not hold to their loyalty to a man child who cares nothing for them. Some will go down with him out of some ill conceived duty that is secondary to our constitution and rule of law. So be it. But others will not and although they will still find themselves in legal jeopardy, they have a better chance to rehabilitate their lives for eventually doing the correct thing. These last few days have been fascinating in that watching the walls close in on trump has kept the rest of us hopeful that this unimaginable nightmare is finally coming to a close!
