'Gleefully defiant' Donald Trump is ready to fight impeachment, but will his longtime playbook fail him? Read our latest cover story:
Ignore. Deny. Attack. Faced with an impeachment investigation, will Trump's longtime playbook fail him?On the day House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she would allow an impeachment investigation to commence, Donald Trump at first was"gleefully defiant," say two of his aides.
The president, says a White House official not authorized to speak on the record,"has been on a"war footing against his political enemies pretty much from day one"—which in part explains why he apparently had no qualms about asking the president of Ukraine for dirt on Joe Biden and his son Hunter. That aggressive posture is now more or less permanent.
President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky shake hands during a meeting in New York on September 25, 2019, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.The fact that Trump's overall approval rating has pretty much been stuck in the low 40s gives some credence to this view. So too does the fact that Biden beats the president in most polls, and is competitive in the key midwestern states that propelled Trump to victory in 2016.
Vice President Joe Biden speaks as his son, Hunter Biden, looks on at the World Food Program USA's Annual McGovern-Dole Leadership Award Ceremony at Organization of American States on April 12, 2016 in Washington, DC. The Bidens were reportedly the subject of a discussion between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that led a whistleblower to file a complaint against Trump.
