The "Firing Of The Brother" will bring Trump down. [View all]

...Why fire the brother? The brother did nothing wrong and did not testify. But Trump had to get total revenge so he fired someone who did nothing wrong in anyone's eyes. Everyone understands that this is a mean and vicious act that was totally wrong. You don't have to be an historian or political expert to understand that.
...I think that firing the brother will be the act that does Trump in. If Trump can prove that the brother did something wrong, well, then things will be different. If Trump cannot prove that the brother did something wrong, then people will talk about that. Over and over again people will say, "Why did he fire the brother?"
...The conclusion is that Trump fired the brother because he hated the family and had to get "revenge." That is easy to understand, and totally and completely wrong. It will bring him down, even though he may be legally able to fire that brother. That is what people will talk about over and over and over. "The brother did nothing wrong, yet Trump fired him anyway. "

...This is simple, easy to understand, connects to all of us, and total truth. What did the "brother" do? "Why fire the brother?" The brother did not testify, did he?
