Trump’s impeachment or resignation.None has even demanded he decline to run for reelection. Supposedly respected Republican pundits defend him, vilify Trump critics, abhor congressional oversight and support his reelection.
President Trump bragged about sexually assaulting women; wasaccusedby numerous women of sexual harassment or assault;endorseda candidate for Senate who was credibly accused of child molestation;praisedan aide despite photographic evidence supporting accusations of spousal abuse; directed thathush money be paidto women in advance of the 2016 election (arguably in violation of federal campaign finance laws); and routinely smeared and insulted women.
He refused to divest his business properties, leading to widespread conflicts of interest and receipt of potentially unconstitutional emoluments. He repeatedly interfered with an ongoing investigation and was forced to close his foundation after discovery of widespread financial impropriety.
Now we learn, through reporting in The Post, abouta far-flung operationthat sourced and employed illegal immigrants for a Trump property. (Frank Sharry of America’s Voice told me, “Long before Trump shamelessly exploited the fear of undocumented immigrants for political gain, he shamelessly exploited the labor of undocumented immigrants for private profit. The hypocrisy is stunning. The lawlessness seems clear. State and federal investigations into possible labor, trafficking and conspiracy are needed.”) An ordinary business would be under investigation, facing massive fines.
