Intriguingly, Mr. [Bill] Taylor says in his statement that many people in the administration opposed the [Rudy] Giuliani effort, including some in senior positions at the White House, the editorial board wrote. This matters because it may turn out that while Mr. Trump wanted a quid-pro-quo policy ultimatum toward Ukraine, he was too inept to execute it. Impeachment for incompetence would disqualify most of the government, and most presidents at some point or another in office.....
Trump has long been highly sensitive to any jabs, real or perceived, at his level of intelligence or competence. In July, for instance, he tweeted that he is smart, a true Stable Genius! and also so great looking.
Senior officials working in Trumps West Wing are also often tasked with defending the presidents alleged brain power.

His lawyers came up with an excuse blaming it on erectile dysfunction pills.
An athlete in super physical condition blaming it on erectile dysfunction pills.
They must have had quite a time convincing him to go public with that.
