He will keep facing accusations like this as long as he's president but more because he represents the rich and powerful who can get away with things like that.

For a long time Americans labored under the delusion that our presidents were more moral than other world leaders. But now that Trump has brought lying, mistreatment of women, and fraud into the open, our country has shrugged it off on the basis that it's how powerful people act. It's not something I think we'll return from, sadly. It's hard to have "Character counts" programs in grade school when the role all Americans supposedly should aspire towards set such a terrible example. Can we at least elect people based on experience and competence from now on? We'll see if that lesson has been learned late next year. In the meantime ask your Trump-supporting friends how they would feel if they went to their doctor's office and there was a new head doctor with no medical experience, and a huge proportion of other doctors, nurses, and staff were the cronies and relatives of the head doctor, and also had no medical experience.

A 'disruptive distraction': Four Democratic congresswomen respond to President Trump's racist tweets during a press conference. Trump created a firestorm over the weekend when he told four congresswomen to "Go back" to their own countries. Although Trump did not specify who he was specifically referring to, many believe he was talking about Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib. Ref. USAToday.
I am not happy when he calls out people like that but at the same time I am glad because it shows how he really thinks and the fact that he must be voted out come next election!

Hopefully if he is voted out, he will accept the decision. He does everything possible to cast doubt on our democratic process and to turn people with different views against each other. And a huge percentage of our citizens are totally fine with that, it seems.

House of Representatives votes to kill effort to impeach President Donald Trump. The 332-95 vote Wednesday evening included a majority of Democrats voting along with Republicans to kill the measure in the first vote on such a measure since Democrats took the majority and since the release of former special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election. The 95 Democrats who voted against casting aside the measure shows there has been an increase in support for taking up the issue. The articles, included in a resolution by Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, were filed Tuesday evening and declare that Trump is "Unfit" to be president. Ref. CNN.
Disappointing. Even Dems votes for the Republicans wish to keep Trump right where he is now. There is only way to get Trump out and that's through next year's elections. Let's do it that way!
