Analysis | Confronted by impeachment, Trump adds to the chaos
WASHINGTON — The impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump has thrust Washington into a political crisis. And Trump keeps adding to the chaos.
"It is his persona to surround himself with chaos," said Alice Stewart, a Republican strategist who advised Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's 2016 presidential campaign. Already saddled by low approval ratings, he could face reelection with the dubious distinction of being just the third American president ever impeached. Though conviction and removal from office by the Republican-controlled Senate seems virtually impossible, Trump's handling of the coming weeks could linger with some of the voters he needs to hold in order to win in 2020.
There are some signs that Trump's words and actions are being received differently, both in Washington and across the country, from other points in his presidency. John Kasich, the former Republican governor of Ohio, is among the Republicans who now back an impeachment inquiry, though he told The Associated Press in an interview that he isn't ready to call for Trump's removal from office.Kasich was persuaded by the White House's shifting story on why Trump withheld $400 million in military aid for Ukraine, one of the issues under investigation by the House.
And Mulvaney opened his news conference by announcing another controversial decision: Trump plans to host world leaders next year at his golf resort near Miami, putting him in position to personally profit from his office. Some Republicans found the move difficult to defend as well.
