Nastiness is not a part of Presidential decorum

President Trump seems to use nastiness as a personal badge of dishonor. There are instances of this than I can blog about. I chose a few to blog about. See the below tweet about Senator Kirstan Gillibrand.

"Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Chuck Schumer and someone who would come to my office 'begging' for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump. Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!"

Rachel Crooks, Samantha Holvey, and Jessica Leeds have again stated that Donald Trump was guilty of sexual misconduct against them before he was President. Press secretary Sarah Sanders used alternative truths or facts to describe this. The American people knew about this before he got elected President. He was elected by the American people. Therefore the matter was laid to rest. No Mrs. Sanders, the matter is not laid to rest. Sexual misconduct is illegal. That puts the matter in the hands of the legal system.  Harvey Weinstein, Trent Franks, John Conyers, Al Franken, Roy Moore and others can attest to this. See the seventh and ninth link for a complete list of all accusers.

President Trump may have to answer for these actions.  Just because he can yell loudly does not mean the legal system will ignore him. He needs to look at what happened to Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon.

Donald Trump, Jr. claimed conversations that he had with President Trump were covered under Attorney-Client privilege. See the last two links.  The answer to this is no on almost all accounts. Members of this family need to consult real US lawyers before taking a stand on anything.

I watched news feeds and read information from the following links before blogging.
