What Trump has got away with, and continues to get away with, from the u-turns on big policy decisions, to the tantrums, rants and Twitter spats, and the complete disregard for diplomacy, is quite simply staggering. He will go on record and tell a complete whopper of a lie about someone or something, and then move on with complete impunity, repeatedly dodging and ignoring the comeback or consequences that would have brought down many other politicians. And he is doing this because he has proven time and time again that he can.
Everyone said he'd be gone by now, and he's not. Everyone knows the Democrats and their supporters have no answer to him beyond hurling insults and acting like kids. The latest impeachment rumblings will come to nothing, just as they came to nothing before. Trump is completely untouchable, and he knows it.
It's only the fact he's such a blatant liar that stops me having a little bit of respect for the guy.
