Donald Trump is defined by his afinity for despots - echo letter
Trump has co-opted the GOP completely- echo opinion published in the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
It has never been a matter of if, but when, President Trump would be impeached. He cheated and lied in his business and personal life. He was a corrupt businessman, and he is a corrupt president. He has tried to play the victim during this process when he has no one to blame but himself.
What he has played is the American people, especially his base, and the Republican Party has let him get away with it. Meanwhile, Trump is being played by every despot and autocrat in the world, and he is too narcissistic and naïve to see through it, even while they are laughing at him. His handshake and photo op diplomacy has been a "disaster," to use one of his favorite words in his limited vocabulary.
I watched both the Nixon and Clinton impeachment hearings, and I have watched almost all of Trump's hearings. Congress could distinguish fact from fiction during the Nixon and Clinton hearings and were able to vote with country and the Constitution as its lodestar, not the next election.

Maine Writer- Actually, I would subtitle this opinion letter instead as, "the Growing Old Party" is now co-opted by the 73, year old (b. 1946) #IMpotus45.
