During the first day of his Senate impeachment trial, President Donald Trump tweeted from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, imploring people back in the U.S. to:
"READ THE TRANSCRIPTS!"
It turns out, many people have and, unfortunately for Trump, it doesn't do much to help him.
Most who had read the "transcripts" (actually a summary memoranda) released by the White House knew they were incriminating.
Several people even pointed out the sections in which Trump appears to be pressuring Ukraine into investigating Joe Biden.
Those transcripts are literally the first reason President Trump is being impeached.
It seems unclear whether or not many of Trump's supporters have actually read the transcripts, however.
But, for the President's critics, reading them again serves as a reminder to keep on as we've been doing.
While we're making strange demands of each other, there are a few other things American citizens would love for you to do, Mr. President.
Sometimes, it feels like President Trump is trying to convince us we're insane and he's the only person we can trust.
For once, President Trump and his critics seem to agree: everyone should read the transcripts.
