Trump plays by a different set of logic, because to a certain degree he is in this office for himself.  So, his shady dealings with russia, the defamations towards zelensky and now this is all part of the same big whole.  It's not that he isn't intelligent, it's that he's evil so therefore such things don't matter anymore.  I've lost all "benefit of doubt" that i've had towards trump and realize how difficult things are going to be with him and America's policy towards this issue.  

I never had any "benefit of the doubt" towards Trump. I knew who he was in the 1980s. He was a sleazy, opportunistic grifter back then, and incompetent at running casinos or developing real estate, which were the lines of business he was supposedly in. I wasn't surprised at how his first term fell apart, and I'm not surprised at anything he's doing now. 

several people agree, bro
