Was smart with the political fire thats burning whether you want to talk about impeachment or syria that he should have had the g7 at one of his properties? no. that was politically not smart to do. but if hes not making any money and were going to spend less as taxpayers did i have a problem with the policy behind it i did not, but the politics are not good. >> go ahead, charlie. >> this is an ethical trainwreck. this is an ethical train wreck. to direct business to your own company, i mean i j...

So it really -- the climb back is maybe a little too little too late. it has already put republicans in a really tough position. its emboldened democrats. i mean, regardless of what happens with impeachment, whether the president is actually removed from office or not, democrats are now armed with half a dozen examples of corruption and self-dealing that they can use in a political context going into this next election up and down the ballot. its really a tough position that trump has already pu...
