Interesting first evidence of Trump's vindictive streak.<br /><br />Mr Hepworth, thanks for reinstating comments on your blog.

The difference is that now he’s no longer a candidate who could say what he liked with impunity. Now he’s in office the actions he takes are judged not just by the people who voted for him, but are subject to the checks and balances of the US legal system and the constitution. It will be interesting to see how he reacts to the various challenges this has already thrown up. He’s a bully whose main interest seems to be in crushing anyone or anything that opposes him. Because he has nothing to hide it is unlikely the papers could do him much damage (though I have a sneaking suspicion that some involvement with Russia might prove troubling to him) but legal restraints might prove more difficult to overcome.David Everallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950479438306948683noreply@blogger.com
