Donald J. Trump’s 41st week in the presidency included:
• A guilty plea on criminal charges from a Trump campaign aide;
• Two criminal indictments against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and campaign aide Rick Gates for conspiracy against the United States;
• The largest terrorist attack in New York City since Sept. 11, 2001; and
• The unveiling of a GOP “tax reform and jobs” package that’s actually a trillion dollar-plus expansion of the federal deficit and a giveaway to corporations and the uber-wealthly.
What’s a president to do?
In Trump’s case, it’s time to unleash another Twitter tantrum and demand the Justice Department and the FBI investigate his former presidential rival, Hillary Clinton.
