I do agree with this. I also think he can’t NOT mention it. It’s not who he is. Trumpy is a fighter. If he doesn’t mention it, he’ll get it from the other side who thinks he’s too soft to stand up for himself. And so he needs to punch back. For petty shit like Vodka Nan, tearing up the SOTU, you need to just hit’em once - HARD - and then just move on. Romney? Maybe a few hits. Soft coup? Don’t stop till the ref pulls you off of em.
cons: it's a constitutional republic Also cons: the constitutionally valid impeachment leading to legal subpoenas is a soft coup and those answering said subpoenas deserved what's coming to them.
So I guess you haven’t been paying attention the last 3 years. Can’t help you if you refuse to open your eyes.
