Not allowing access to administration members (or former ones) is asserting executive privilege. He doesn't have to say "executive privilege" as if it's some sort of incantation.

Ironic post is ironical.
You are making an "analogy" between trump and God. I am not even religious, and I find that insulting.
I would not call people who cursed so much "erudite", but I guess everyone has their own definition.
He didn't say it because it would have meant he had to show why he thinks it's in the public interest or national security to withhold info.
He'd be impeached for it and tried in the senate but would eventually get away with it.
How can anybody say that? He's had no "near miss" yet. Mueller "investigation" - flop.
Impeachment - flop.
And we all knew this from the beginning before it started.

The party definitely became more combative, at least in the House, once Newt took over. They had gotten their ass*s kicked in the House for over 30 years straight I believe. Newt changed that.
The nature of the electorate has changed as well. We used to have liberal Republicans and conservative Democrats. Very few of those today, at least in elected office. Many of us put ideological purity test on folks running and that works to eliminate traditional statesmanship and co-operation.
I'm mildly curious about who you will support this Nov. You seem very coy.

Depending on who it is most likely the Libertarian candidate again. Zero chance I'm voting for a Democrat for President and I can't pull the trigger for Trump. But to be totally honest its not something I really think about because I live in California and it doesn't matter what I do (not that I would change my vote if I were in a swing state). But you're right, I don't speak about it much. I've said before, in 2000 I was emotionally all in on Bush. I thought he was going to make up for the mistakes of his father and be Reagan Part 2. Clearly he didn't come close and since then I've lost my ability to get excited about any politician.
Now I'm in a weird place. I'm a lifelong Republican who didn't vote for the current Republican President. It's not that I don't care about what goes on but I don't have the emotional attachment right now others do.
Trump is neither Democrat nor Republican, really. He is a political outsider...who has been a staunch 1st and 2nd Amendment , defender, tax and reg cutter, built up our military, while seeking to bring our troops home.
He is focused on US, and couldn't care less if the rest of the world "likes" him.
I didn't know what to expect from his presidency, but now, I must admit, he has been outstanding.
I also don't give a shit about the NYC Construction Worker personality (that's who he was raised around, after all!)...or "Tweet" of the day.
It's his POLICIES and ACTIONS that make him the clear and obvious choice, IMHO.

^Truth!
And this sums up why his base loves him and will never abandon him. He is basically the embodiment of what the blue collar working guys I knew would say they wanted in a president when I was a kid.
trump has switched parties 7 times, and has absolutely no allegiance to any party or political ideology. That being said, Democrats would not accept him. Only the Republicans would nominate him.
trump is a Republican, not because he chose them, but rather because they chose him. He defines the modern Republican Party. It has transformed itself into the party of trump, and nothing else.
