'Donald J. Trump...looks like he would rather be a king than a president who had to work to earn and preserve the trust of the American people,” Bill Weld told CNN on Friday.
As he looks to mount a challenge to Donald Trump for the Republican nomination for president in 2020, Bill Weld has warned the president that he could soon lose the support of the American people. And, Weld claimed, there were already grounds for Trump's impeachment.
“Donald J. Trump, candidly, he looks like he would rather be a king than a president who had to work to earn and preserve the trust of the American people,” Republican presidential hopeful Bill Weld says pic.twitter.com/PbYHnzFG1BThere is little sign of waning trust among Republicans, however. Tump’s approval rating among GOP primary voters stood at 85 percent in a recent Morning Consult poll.
Despite the release of the Mueller report last month and special counsel Robert Mueller’s conclusion that there was not sufficient evidence to charge the Trump campaign of carrying out a conspiracy with Russia, scrutiny of the president has shown little sign of letting up. While Attorney General William Barr declined to charge Trump with obstruction of justice, Mueller, pointedly, did not exonerate the president.
