DEMS/IMPEACHMENT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “One day, he’s up. One day, he’s down. Other days he’s just angry. President Donald Trump has gone through a range of emotions since House Democrats started their public impeachment hearings last week about whether he threatened to withhold Ukrainian security aid unless the country opened politically advantageous investigations, according to more than half a dozen people who have spoken to Trump in the last several days. On Wednesday [11-20-19], Trump was frustrated, defiant and uncharacteristically terse. Running more than an hour late, the president emerged from the White House shortly before noon, carrying a few notes he jotted down on White House stationary. For once, he stuck to his talking points.”
