The name of Trump’s game is still corruption (opinion)

Editor’s Note: Michael D’Antonio is the author of the book “Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success” and co-author with Peter Eisner of “The Shadow President: The Truth About Mike Pence.” The opinions expressed in this commentary are the author’s. First, former secretary of state Rex Tillerson told an interviewer that Trump had asked him to commit illegal acts, is undisciplined and “doesn’t like to read, doesn’t read briefing reports, doesn’t like to get into the details of a lot of things.” Next the press reported that White House Chief of Staff John Kelly, who is expected to quit any minute, has been questioned by the special counsel. Trump’s less noble allies, like Cohen and Manafort, show little of the strength of character found in Kelly, Tillerson and Haley. In the decade-plus when he was Donald Trump’s lawyer, Cohen advertised himself as Trump’s “fixer” and a man who would “take a bullet” for the boss.
