    I hope companies, senators, housemembers, politicians with any modicum of power are taking notes.

    Trump is a sociopath and follows standard abuser tactics. He will push things as far and as fast as you will allow. It usually doesn’t take much, in fact just a sharp needle, to pop a trial balloon. Maybe going forward you all can do literally just the absolute minimum of your duty to the Constitution and your constituency, politicians?

      If someone does something people like he claims credit, even if he wasn’t involved. If someone does something people dislike he claims no involvement, even if it was done in his name or he directly talked about it before. It’s so stupid and obvious that I don’t know how anyone can take him seriously.
