Every scandal in which Trump is the accused involves credible evidence of Trump offering or taking a bribe.

Every scandal in which Trump accuses others involves him pretending that mere unkindness is in fact a crime, libel, election interference, a conspiracy, graft, or treason.
In other words, Trump has emotional scars over 98% of his body. When he is touched—even glancingly—he reacts by screaming bloody murder.

In those few moments he is not declaring himself uniquely aggrieved, he is bullying others, lying, scheming, and pretending to be a "big man."
In other words, @realDonaldTrump is—without question—the weakest man ever to occupy the White House. I mean "weak" in every sense of the word. The man has no moral, physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, political or business courage. His every maneuver is mere flatulence.
I say all this as a journalist, and I say "I say all this as a journalist" non-facetiously. It has taken me years and years—five years, so far—researching Trump across literally thousands and thousands of news reports to come to the conclusion that he is, in all respects, a turd.
This isn't how some think of journalism, as they're imagining 1950s-style hard news reportage—not the hybridic journalism we see today.

Today, if you do honest research using reliable sources for 5 years—across 11,000+ citations—you can transparently say, "Here's my conclusion."
My conclusion about Trump isn't merely from my experience, knowledge and research as a journalist. It also comes from the courtroom—having represented over 2,000 criminal defendants. If I lined up every client I ever represented, Trump would rank as the most corrupt—and pathetic.
I smile when alt-righters accuse progressives of having an "orange man bad" perspective.

First, I don't see him as a man.

Second, no one who researches Trump's *actions* really cares much, after that, about what he looks like.

Third, he's not *bad*—he's humanity's rock bottom.
Again, I say all this as a journalist—and challenge anyone to read the research I've published on Trump, all taken from major-media investigative reports, and tell me my conclusion is nonjournalistic/nonlawyerly rather than *strictly factual*. Because it *is* a fact: he's a turd.
