Trump’s Playbook Feels Tired

Associated Press: “The playbook Donald Trump has used as a real estate developer, celebrity businessman and political candidate has, for the most part, proved effective through the first two-plus years of his presidency.”

“He has shown an uncanny ability to wriggle out of jams that might have doomed just about any of his predecessors.”

“That M.O. may finally be catching up to Trump amid the House’s impeachment inquiry. The tactics that helped win the White House have jeopardized his hold on it, ensnaring him in accusations that he enlisted a foreign government to investigate a political foe and, so far, leaving him flailing against a rapidly escalating investigation.”
