Trump political iceberg image6/30/2023 ![]() Trump and his family are accused of colluding with a foreign government to win the election and to probably do all kinds of other things. I had originally remembered this one as being about Nixon, which is apparently a very common error (search down for Doonesbury), in part because Trudeau reworked this strip not just once, but twice. Which reminds me of that old Doonesbury cartoon. And the country is likely heading toward a major constitutional and political crisis because Trump is signaling that he will not allow the normal course of the law to apply to him – a challenge which puts the entire edifice of democratic government under threat. No mix of ego, inexperience, embarrassment or anything else can explain his behavior. We are far, far past the point where there is any credible reason to doubt that President Trump is hiding major and broad-ranging wrongdoing. But Trump is willing to run the most unimaginable political and even criminal risks to block even the beginnings of a serious probe into his business history and the 2016 election. And a determined prosecutor can often find technical infractions that in the normal course of things would never be an issue. Most people, certainly in Trump’s line of work, aren’t totally clean. Anyone who’s been in business for decades would not welcome a searching legal scrutiny of years of business. Trump is in many ways his own worst accuser. ![]()
