- If House investigations into Trump Organization finances show that the newspaper’s claims of tax fraud close to half a billion dollars, using techniques akin to the mafia, then Trump might well be pressured to resign.
- Here in Korea, I believe this is one reason why the Moon Jae-in government, which desperately wants to keep Trump focused on détente with North Korea, is pushing so hard for the next Trump-Kim summit, after this summer’s first summit in Singapore.
- As the investigations commence next spring, after Democratic control begins in January, the media conflict over Trump will worsen.
- Given that Trump acquires most of his information from right-wing media, he will follow pundits like Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro down a rabbit hole of “deep state” conspiracies.
- As the investigations heat up, Trump could claim, as he did last year, that he should not be impeached because he is doing such a great job, in this case, on Korea.
- Similarly, the Trump administration may become so absorbed by scandal defense that any “extras,” such as outreach to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, will be cast aside.
