Apparently Trump’s lawyer is hung up on the Steele dossier too. Trump brought it up with Comey after the initial meeting, and then Trump’s lawyer is harping on it really makes you think it’s true. > ---

> [@GIGObuster](#): > > That is what I do suspect, but on a global scale. Trump can \*\*still \*\*be a naive git for thinking that all those European gangsters are his buddies, just because they are so nice to him. Such is the way with narcissists who are also stupid. Any one who knows how to feign loyality–no matter how blatantly ersatz their performance–can wrap Trump around their finger. Trump would be a much better President if he was a true sociopath, because sociopaths aren’t motivated out of a desire to be adored and respected. ---

Even in private business, it’s not normal. Congratulations 🙂 You just found out that Trump is not your usual President. I am curious - is the new desperate hope for Democrats going to be that they will somehow manage to impeach Trump for his “obsession with loyalty”? ---

> [@Okrahoma](#): > > I am curious - is the new desperate hope for Democrats going to be that they will somehow manage to impeach Trump for his “obsession with loyalty”? Nope, obstruction will do just fine. thanks for playing. No one gives a fuck if the President wants loyalty. The issue is with “blind loyalty” or when loyalty runs counter to the constitution, to law, to democratic norms and into treasonous territory. ---
