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.

No man is above the law even President Trump

It is sad that a large number of women have claimed President Trump has committed sexual misconduct against them.  He is alleged to have groped, touched them inappropriately, and forced kisses on them without their permission. President Trump denies this.  He owns the Miss America contest. He has been accused of entering their dressing room while they were naked.  President Trump on the Howard Stern show admitted to doing this.

Press Secretary Sarah Sanders stated that all these allegations occurred before Donald Trump became  President. The made up concept of Alternative facts / truths was used to put a spin on this.  She stated that he addressed these allegations.  Claims were made that witnesses backed up Donald Trumps claim of innocence.  One of the witnesses was in the 2003 Miss America contest. The contest where Donald Trump entered a dressing room of naked women was in 1997.  Read the fifth link.

Sarah Sanders stated that the allegations came out before the elections. The people voted for Donald Trump.  Because of this, the matter  has been laid to rest. This does not negate legal response to the crimes. If it did, there are people in jails and prisons who would want to know about this so they can use it. The President and Sarah Sanders need to know that because the President thinks he is innocent does not mean the crimes will go away.

Sexual misconduct is a crime. People in our government and on TV have lost their jobs because of this. Some are under investigation for this. The President is not above the law because he can scream "fake news" and "that is a lie" louder than anyone.
