Since winning the November 2016 election, Trump has been shaping up to be one of the most controversial presidents in the United States.
The hotel mogul was elected for only a four-year term, but time seems to have been cut short by so many scandals and controversies starring President Donald Trump.
Let’s review just a few of Trump’s scandals during his mandate in the White House.
One thing Trump showed in his four years in office was always wanting to fulfill all his whims without giving his arm a twist. A clear example, but not so controversial, was that he refused to use the official Twitter account as President of the United States (@POTUS), which although it does have his photo and name, of all it is known that the tycoon used his personal account all the time … until dawn.
Enmity with critical media
Trump had enmity from beginning to end with the media critical of his figure and management. The president threw darts at media and even at journalists or presenters. The label “fake news” cannot be overlooked, to catalog all the information that came from a critical medium.
Nicknames in the south political rivals
With nicknames he publicly named his political rivals, allies and even foreign presidents. Here are some nicknames:
Joe Biden, next president of the United States: “asleep”
Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the House of Representatives: ‘nervous’
James Comey, ex-head of the FBI: ‘slippery’
Kim Jong-un, North Korea’s supreme leader: ‘little rocket man’.
But he also scornfully called Mexican immigrants calling them “criminals and rapists.” In African countries, Haiti and El Salvador he called them “shitholes.” At the’ Covid-19 named it in two ways: the ‘Chinese virus’ and’Influenza Kung‘.
The Russian plot, key to Trump’s election victory?
Arguably one of Trump’s strongest scandals was Russia’s alleged intervention in the magnate’s presidential campaign in 2016.
James Comey, a former FBI director, announced in Congress an investigation into a possible conspiracy between members of the Trump campaign and Russia. The act cost him the contempt of the president of the United States, who described the investigation as a “witch hunt” against him. Comey was removed from office.
Special prosecutor Robert Mueller was appointed for the case. The investigation revealed a meeting between Donald Trump Jr. (president’s son) and the Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya, Who offered compromising information about Hillary Clinton, Trump’s rival in the 2016 election. However, the final report (over 400 pages) was never disclosed in its entirety and only a four-page summary was released, and was disclosed by the prosecutor. general appointed by Trump, William Barr.
The documentary details that “there was not enough evidence to consider a conspiracy by Trump or his campaign with Russia“.
Trump, the third president of the United States to be subjected to a political trial
Trump’s tenure faltered in late 2019 when a political trial began for the president’s alleged pressure on his Ukrainian counterpart, to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter. The president categorized the act as another “witch hunt” by Democrats.
How did you get to this point? A complaint sent by an anonymous informant who allegedly witnessed a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which the American congratulated the Ukrainian on his recent election victory, but also asked him several times that would investigate whether Biden used his influences when he was Obama’s vice president to get the closure of a search against the Burisma gas-drilling company in Ukraine, of which his son Hunter was employed.
With charges of obstruction in Congress and abuse of power, the House of Representatives approved the start of the political trial against Trump, the same that did not happen again in early 2020, when the (Republican-majority) Senate acquitted the president.
It is worth mentioning that Trump became the first president of the United States to face a political trial twice. The second (which was approved on January 13) was to incite the insurrection that ended the violent assault on the Capitol.
