The left points to Hicks, Kushner, daily chaos as signs of a weak presidency
Will there ever be a break in the turmoil that surrounds Donald Trump? A roundup of editorials Friday doesn't offer much hope.
Opinions from the left:
1. Hope Hicks told the truth about lying for Trump. Now she's gone.
From columnist Dana Milbank: When a president lies, those around him are put into the position of lying for him.
NEW: Hope Hicks has racked up hundreds of thousands of dollars of legal fees, @GabrielSherman reports. “She’s in immense personal jeopardy,” one Republican says. “This is a sign the Mueller investigation is a lot more serious than anyone of us thought.” https://t.co/iyQnxqnWAU
