So… we’re supposed to accept that Trump constantly needs band-aids from too many handshakes, yet an automatic gunshot wound to his ear only required a bandage for less than a week?

Trump on Americans' healthcare costs going up by 200-300%: "Don't make it sound so bad"
Q: At the end of this year, those extended Obamacare subsidies expire. What's your message to those 24m Americans who will see their premiums go up?
TRUMP: Don't make it sound so bad. Obviously you're a sycophant for Democrats. You're obviously a provider of bad news for Republicans.

It's not a question of politics or party. Congress has a constitutional obligation to impeach and to remove a president who commits high crimes and misdemeanors and forsakes his solemn oath.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
And there has never been a president who has committed as many impeachable offenses than this one.
There's a Hill bubble narrative, posing as savvy realism, in treating impeachment as some radioactive poison and so Democrats must squash any talk of it. But there's zero evidence for that. No polls back it up, nor recent history. It's all just pundit-brained conventional wisdom eating its own tail.

Um, I don't even know what it means that US is engaged in non-int'l armed conflict w/another state? That's not a thing. Or maybe it's the same non-thing GWB tried to say about the US invasion of Afghanistan, before that view rejected by Gen. Powell, the US armed forces & the rest of the planet.
