WSJ: "His recent selections of John Bolton and Mike Pompeo for his security team are first rate"



Stating “CBS’s 60 Minutes Sunday still has the potential to harm Mr. Trump. That’s not because of the 2006 hookup or its mockable details,” the Journal asked, ” why did his lawyer Michael Cohen go to such lengths to keep it quiet before Election Day in 2016?”

“It’s impossible to predict how all of this will play out politically. Many Trump partisans will refuse to believe it or claim it’s irrelevant,” the editorial explains. “But our guess is that at the margin this contributes to a growing public belief that Mr. Trump’s personal flaws are undermining his chances for a successful Presidency.”

“Two months ago he had emerged from a tumultuous first year with the triumph of tax reform and rising poll numbers. The strong economy had Republicans closing the gap with Democrats on who should run Congress next year. But Mr. Trump can’t resist promoting White House strife and making himself the center of political tumult,” the editors lamented.

“His recent selections of John Bolton and Mike Pompeo for his security team are first rate,” the piece continued. “But Mr. Trump’s reality-TV dismissal of their predecessors was nasty and chaotic. On Friday he threatened to veto a budget bill his own staff had been negotiating for weeks—further souring voters on the GOP Congress. Doesn’t he realize that if Democrats win the House, they will vote to impeach him?”
