Opinion: Trump should come with a warning label
By Dana Milbank Dana Milbank Op-ed columnist covering national politics Email Bio Follow Columnist March 29 at 6:27 PM Maybe President Trump should come with a warning label.
Trump’s lawyers had argued that his obvious efforts to thwart the investigation couldn’t qualify as obstruction because they happened in plain sight. As the New York Times put it in February: “The president’s brazen public behavior might be his best defense.” In all cases, it boils down to this: Trump’s wrongdoing was too obvious, ham-handed and pervasive to be criminal. The guy’s a con artist — what did you expect? It’s not bank fraud or conspiracy or obstruction of justice: It’s Trump being Trump.
But the public isn’t impressed. A Quinnipiac University poll conducted at the time Barr’s summary came out found Trump’s disapproval rate remained unchanged, at 55 percent, from earlier in the month and earlier this year.
