Orlando Weekly: Forget Impeachment, Trump Needs To Resign
Donald Trump needs to resign.
A little bit louder for the folks in the back: DONALD TRUMP NEEDS TO RESIGN.
The whistleblower’s account shows a White House that’s more Nixonian than Nixon, and an addled, conspiracy-minded president who is a legitimate threat to world stability. There is no other possible clear-eyed reading of the nine-page document. Trump’s defenders—both in the right-wing propaganda machines and in Congress—are either ignorant or they think their followers are.
The account discusses not just the phone call with the new Ukrainian president, in which Trump pressured Volodymyr Zelensky to dredge up a debunked investigation into his political rival while holding up hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid, but that this was part of a much longer-term effort within the administration to gin up something on Joe Biden, pre-dating Zelensky’s election.
...
Add that to everything we learned from the Mueller probe, everything we’ve seen from his three years in office—the incompetence, the cruelty, the corruption, the mendacity—and it all leads to only one conclusion: Every day Donald Trump spends in the White House discredits the office and shames the country.
