We are historians who have researched every president since George Washington, and we've never seen anything like this. Elizabeth Cobbs, Kyle Longley, Ken Osgood, Jeremi SuriWhen Donald Trump got on the phone with the president of Ukraine, he had a"favor" to ask. It's not the first time he's reached out to a world leader for personal gain and he has made it clear he sees nothing at all wrong with it.In fact, several transcripts of similar conversations have reached the public domain, including others from 2017 and some to which the White House sought to limit access.

Opinion This president went totally off his rocker today in front of all Finland. I think it was the single scariest moment of his presidency so far. Please America let’s get rid of this president as soon as possible for all of our safety he is not right in his head and we all know it!

Opinion I thought that 'OKAY' sign that Trump is making with his tiny fingers was outlawed or something.

Opinion That’s the point! After all the previous president was elected when no black/brown people have ever built a successful society which was a failure in logic. Truth is like poetry...

Opinion That's why we voted for him... the false dignified statesman with the forked tongue elegance of a serpent... that's what we've had and they have nearly destroyed our nation. Obviously Trump is making it right... and, we'll reelect him. Bon appètit, you phony propagandists.

Opinion President TwitterTrump is a miracle. Time for him to admit his crimes, resign and go home to Florida for good.
