Weismann on Trump’s 'loyalty' nightmare

During an exclusive interview with Meet the Pres former President Donald Trump was asked if he thought his former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was still "loyal" to him. Trump responded "Well, I hope he's loyal to me" and when pressed on if he worries about Meadows possibly "flipping" Trump responded, "I didn't do anything wrong."

According to the New York Times, "Mr. Trump has been warned by the federal judge in a case also stemming from his efforts to stay in office, brought against him by the special counsel Jack Smith, to avoid saying anything that might affect the testimony of witnesses. His comment about Mr. Meadows could attract new interest."

To support someone in a criminal enterprise is not called loyalty it is called an accomplice.

[pamheidenreich]

If a regular citizen did any of this stuff we would be in jail.

[GothicElf]

Please convict this man, bar him permanently from public office, and send him away for life!

[DG-cuvt]

He demands loyalty from everyone and is loyal to no one.

[Icodehotgarbage]

You can’t jail me. I’ve got bone spurs.

[CritVanTuyl]

For the sake of the law we must lock him up.

[mitzicrosby]

He shouldn't even be considered a former president. He's a complete disgrace in this country. They need to serve him. His custom-made orange jumpsuit and throw his you know what in jail!

[lymanmj]

Only mob bosses require "loyalty pledges".

[kimashmore]

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.

This has trump written all over it.

[asianguy]

Just the fact he is critical of people who flip on him shows his criminality

[cisco]

The gentleman's description of Donald Trump's maniacal mentality was worded so beautifully.

[CarolinaCarolina-phmx]

'Are you worried about him flipping?' She asked him that straight-faced, and he answered it in kind. A former President of the United States . . . asked if he worried about his former aids flipping. A person who occupied the highest office in our country out ion public display with a very mob boss mindset of staff being loyal to Him, not the country. There is no 'flipping' if they were working for us, the taxpayers - who pay their salaries. Mind boggling. Still.

[philmccracken]

The fact that he expects him to be loyal to him is concerning in itself. Thats mob boss mentality. He should be loyal to the country and the constitution not trump.

[nolongerblocked]

Why did she even ask that traitor to our Constitution about loyalty to himself?? That's disgusting!! They're _ALL_ supposed to be loyal to the Constitution & our nation... not a wannabe dictator

[ifiknewthen]

How is this not brainwashing ? A grown man who wants another grown man to put his head on a chopping block because he says so. This is who they want back on Pennsylvania Ave?

[royblankenship]

How could we have let this person run our country?

[JeffBostick]

Trump operates on wink, nod, terms. It's what's not said but what's understood and expected.

[akeemMagic]

Man if he doesn't go to jail no one should.

[lynnerose]

When you say, “I didn’t do anything wrong, ” any PARENT knows that you ABSOLUTELY did something wrong. Now imagine a lawyer.

[suzannederusha]

The pardon power should be abolished, the reason is crystal clear.
