Business man Trump during the Presidential campaign turned out to be a small person who had to attack almost everyone he spoke about. Then when he became President elect nothing changed. Then come inauguration day on January 20 and President Trump is still the small person who finds reasons to pass the buck instead of stopping it at his Presidential desk.
The latest excuse and buck passing concerns the resignation of his National Security Adviser Michael Flynn who had to resign over his phone calls with a Russian representative before Trump took office. Trump blamed his resignation on the news media and tried to even involve Hillary Clinton in the subject matter. Trump also acted dishonest in not acknowledging he was warned two weeks before the story broke about the conversation. Vice President Pence had to get into the act and said Flynn misled him about the Russian contact after he tried to defend Flynn's actions earlier.
Buck passing and blame has been Trumps calling card in the 27 days he has been President and many of his advisers have had to change the story line because of the lies that continue out of this White House. What is unfolding now with the Flynn thing is another piece of evidence that Russia has Trump over a barrel and is willing to compromise the nations national security with back channel contact with Russia during a period of time President Obama was putting sanctions on Russia for their involvement in the U.S. Presidential elections.
This story of Trumps approved Russian contacts should not end with Flynn's resignation. It should be investigated properly so the full story can be learned and told. No one is above the law, especially a President who lacks good judgement and qualification for the job. Bringing up Hillary Clinton concerning Flynn's resignation shows how ignorant and irresponsible President Trump acts. And do not be or act surprised if more of Trump's inner circle resigns.
