This is an interesting communication strategy from the Speaker that I think I approve of. Diminishing Trump is not a bad strategy. Don't get me wrong, he's a menace, but painting him as the ranting uncle v. the boogey man could help with public opinion. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/pelosi-tr…
Impeachment is obviously political, but Trump and the Republicans' strategy is to try to make it explicitly about politics rather than the underlying deeply disturbing issues. This moves it away from that and also depersonalizes it, another savvy strategy, IMO.
Trump is shrinking before our eyes as he gets more and more obsessed and Pelosi's message plays into that narrative. As a President, he's increasingly irrelevant in terms of the work Presidents are expected to do, except for the fact that he is President.
Pelosi is signaling that he's going to be moved offstage one way or another after he loses the election. All things being equal, we might as well move on now, since he is a danger. Impossible to know if it'll work, and I'm not so sanguine about Trump, but interesting.
