Trump is now publicly abusing his oath of office

This article comes from the editorial board  of the Washington post. The main audience for the Washington post is slightly left politically leaning more liberal. They begin the article explaining why Trump is trying to be impeached then state if Republicans agree with what he’s doing it is “shocking and damaging to our political system.” This obviously show the intended audience for this article is democratic or a least anti-Trump. The authors are pretty credible in usage of facts but much of what was said in the article was purely opinion based. Since it is such a heavy opinion based article it’s hard to say it’s a very credible article. The authors began to argue how they think Trump should have handled the situation. They then came to the conclusion that his actions are “unacceptable presidential behavior.” The authors decide to back up these strong statements with a paragraph from a historian. The historian yet doesn’t state any facts, instead he gives his opinion on what he thinks will happen if Trump goes unpunished. The authors claiming to back up there opinion with a historians opinion deteriorates their credibility for me. I don’t agree with this article but I don’t necessarily disagree with it either. I don’t think what Trump did was right but I think agree with there logic or technique they are trying to make Trump out to much worse then he really is.  If what Trump is saying is true I don’t necessarily see why presenting corruption to the public is such a bad thing. Instead their logic is to just kind of assume Trump is lying and when there’s no evidence he’s lying. In conclusion this is an anti-Trump article with the purpose to convince people that Trump should be impeached or at least not back in office in 2020. They lack evidence to pack up any of their opinions, yet use a Historian to seem like everything they are saying is true.
