Trump, however, arrived at the White House with a scandal already brewing — and a well-established record of mendacity. That record, plus the fact that he reacts to new revelations in a way that makes him look so guilty, is why this story isn’t going away.

He can rage at the media, Democrats and leakers all he wants. President Trump has brought this problem on himself.

1. And has managed to make more people round the world in record time dislike him.

Bill Clinton did the opposite. In record time he made friends with everyone around the world and they all loved him because he loved them first. Trumps the opposite! Who likes him. I mean besides Putin?!
