75 days to Election Day November 6, 2018! Have you done anything to help send a message to Trump and his supporters that the overwhelming majority of Americans do not want his autocratic incompetence? Please help save our democracy. Vote, and get others to do so as well.— John Dean (@JohnWDean) August 23, 2018
Trump thinks, acts and sounds like a mob boss. There is nothing presidential about him or his actions. Is this what the people who voted for him want? What has it done for them or the USA? A mobster can’t run the country, as Trump proves day after day. He is a mess, a disaster.— John Dean (@JohnWDean) August 23, 2018
Trump’s presidency is in deep trouble. DJT doesn’t live in reality so he may be the last to learn. He is going to sink further and while his staff is weak I don’t think Maddis or Bolton will allow him to place us all in danger as he seeks to save himself. Send a message on 11/6!— John Dean (@JohnWDean) August 24, 2018
I have included Bolton only because he wants $$ and more power (like a Cabinet Post) so he knows if he isn’t a check on Trump his own career is down the drain. Maddis is a seasoned professional who loves the USA.— John Dean (@JohnWDean) August 24, 2018
Trump’s presidency on a 1 to 10 scale is a zero, if not a negative 8 or 9. Empty rhetoric. Bloviated and empty happy talk. A tax law that only helps the rich. GOP court packing that will be undone w/ time. Gov by the rich for the rich, while the stupid believe he’s with them. https://t.co/E0uNHYU1QQ— John Dean (@JohnWDean) August 24, 2018
Been a lot of commentary about people “flipping” or cooperating against Trump (e.g. Weisselberg). But it is not clear yet if these people flipped or were forced to testify after invoking the 5th. Here’s an essay on the basics for non lawyers. https://t.co/yfkEN4ckH6— John Dean (@JohnWDean) August 25, 2018
Speaking of Weisselberg I think he invoked the 5th and prosecutors immunized him not to nail Cohen or Trump, but Trump’s kids: Eric, Ivanka and Don Jr., who may be in for sphincter-tightening experiences.— John Dean (@JohnWDean) August 25, 2018
The most recent tweet, directly above, is the one that intrigues me the most. As the epic disaster of the Trump presidency plays out over the next weeks/months/years, what will happen to the kids? Are they in any kind of legal jeopardy? (My guess? Yes.) Are they quaking in their designer boots right now? My guess, again, is yes, unless they're too stupid and/or too isolated to understand what's really happening. Would their father, the current president of the United States, throw one or all of them under the bus to save himself? Ivanka? Probably not. Don Jr. or Eric? I wouldn't bet against it. If they're sure he wouldn't they may be in for an unpleasant surprise. Perhaps they should talk to stepmother Melania about what it's like when you have to face the reality that your husband or father is a whole lot nastier than you allowed yourself to believe.
I'm going to create a new blogpost tag called Trump Kids Trouble. My bet is that in a year or too, or possibly sooner, it's going to make for some very interesting reading. Stay tuned.
