But we need to hammer away on things like this, get the public used to the idea that Trump's an irresponsible, reckless madman who's not good for the country. Have people in turn put pressure on their elected representatives (and especially on Republican Senators - we're going to need at least 20) to start moving ahead on impeachment, conviction, and removal from office. We can't sit back and wait for it to "just happen." It doesn't work that way.
