IMPEACHMENT/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “Sometimes it helps for a president to have notes. President Donald Trump engaged with journalists on Wednesday [11-20-19] as he regularly does when he departs the White House at the start of a trip, only this time he had some help with what he wanted to say. Walking before assembled journalists, the president held a small stack of papers, including handwritten notes in thick black ink and mostly all caps, which he read aloud to reinforce his position that he did not seek favours from Ukraine earlier this year. ‘I WANT NOTHING,’ he read from stationery marked ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE in notes captured by photographers. ‘I WANT NO QUID PRO QUO.’ Usually the president exits the White House without papers or paraphernalia in his hands.”
