Charles M. Blow: Trump sees that the pillars of American democracy are weak

Donald Trump has discovered that the pillars of this temple we call the American democracy are weak. He’s growing ever more confident that he has the strength to topple them.

The phone call Donald Trump is reported to have had with the president of Ukraine in which he demanded that Ukraine investigate Joe Biden’s son Hunter, if true, is a shocking example of a president who feels invincible and unrestrained.

The phone call is reported to be part of the whistleblower report that the Trump administration is preventing from being forwarded to Congress, and by extension, is concealing from the public.
