And most importantly, no one likes it. On FOX polls, it was being roundly condemned. TX thought it was a bridge too far. Everything else he’s doing is too byzantine or too cartoonish, but this! This is a thing Americans can recognize as wrong. This is the banner we wave till we have him in jail.

It forced Trump’s hand publicly rather then it appearing to be a regular bit of house cleaning.

I read that. I don’t even understand how that is possible.
