If you were president of the United States, would you:
Skip intelligence briefings, but go ahead and approve a raid on Yemen?
Absent yourself from the situation room while that raid was ongoing?
Settle a lawsuit for $25 million and consider yourself innocent?
Deny major news networks access to your press conferences?
Turn your back on California in a flood crisis because you didn’t win California?
Hang up on the Australian prime minister and threaten to send troops to Mexico?
Send your kids all over the globe with security teams to conduct personal business?
Use your power to criticize companies that don’t do business with your children?
Discuss a foreign missile crisis at a dinner party with private citizens and cameras all around?
Make up a fake story about terrorists in Sweden, while ignoring an actual terror attack in Quebec by a professed supporter of yourself?
Put a climate-change denier as head of the EPA, knowing he had sued the EPA 13 times?
Appoint a kingpin of white supremacy to help expand the for-profit prison system?
Make up a lie on Twitter about a former president to create a distraction from issues about you?
Take a week to condemn anti-Semitism after several Jewish schools and synagogues had been targeted?
For anyone who said “no” to most of the above questions, then I wish you were president. I wouldn’t even ask if you are Republican or Democrat.
Why is the impeachment process taking so long?
