Inappropriate
The Lieutenant Governor of Georgia has called Trump's plea to find votes to overturn the election results "inappropriate." Criminal is the more likely term. The President has no scruples and is self-interested to the point of insanity. Unluckily for him, the call was taped and appeared online and in newspapers. Democrats erupted in rage. Republicans are trying to ignore it. One wonders how Trump can keep millions of supporters with behavior like this. It should be a fatal mistake, but somehow he keeps millions in tow with his tweets on Twitter. From a PR perspective, it is a case study of how power can bamboozle the public and communications of falsehoods take on a patina of credibility. The Trump presidency will be studied in depth to understand how one man could bend so many rules of democracy and get away with it. It should be a warning to all not to take democracy for granted.
