The worst piece of advice ever to Trump: Jonah Goldberg of National Review Says he should apologize

Jonah Goldberg, writing at National Review, says that President Trump is guilty and should apologize.

In l’affaire Ukraine, the president is guilty as charged. And the best strategy for him to avoid impeachment by the House and perhaps even removal by the Senate is to admit it, apologize, and let voters make their own judgment. It’s also the best way to fend off a disaster for Senate Republicans.

This is one pathetic piece of advice which could have been written by any of many NeverTrumpers like Boot, Noonan, Rubin, Brooks and Romney, who like to pretend they still are conservatives.

President Clinton signed an agreement with Ukraine in 1999 to cooperate to root out corruption, but according to Goldberg, most journalists, other Democrats and several Republicans, the only corruption Trump could ever ask about would be corruption by people other than Americans (does that make sense?). Otherwise, Trump is guilty and could be impeached.

We know from Politico and other sources that the Democrats worked with Ukraine to defeat Trump in 2016, but if Trump or Barr wants to investigate that absolute corruption they should be removed from office and apologize for even bringing it up.

We know that Obama/Biden withheld military aid from Ukraine and Trump gave them the aid but somehow Trump is the problem.

After watching most of the media and other Democrats the last three years, I have some advice for all current and future politicians. If you want to enrich yourselves and your families while you are in office, make sure you take your kickbacks on foreign soil from foreign sources because that would be off limits on all investigations.

If he wants to offer them Manhattan in exchange for 20 years of crop futures on radioactive wheat, it his damned prerogative.

Except for the part about him not owning Manhattan...

I think what he did is his prerogative and was legal, but I also think he did it for his personal political gain.

Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's in the national interest and that it won't have political consequences.

I don't think he should be removed but I'm not kidding myself that he wasn't self-dealing with taxpayer money.
