Most of what Presiderp perpetuates is "Funny Business"
Elected officials cannot very well anounce "Trump fostered fuckery" to

Trump Blurts Out to Reporters That He Pressured Ukraine to Smear Biden
- Jonathan Chait
In a series of comments to the media, the president casually revealed
that yes, he had pressured Ukraine’s president to investigate Joe Biden,
and yes, he had tied that demand to military aid.

The difficulty that the impeachment inquiry committee will have,
in providing a clear picture of how convoluted and twisted Presiderp's
role, actions, method, and motives, were, when coercing Zelensky.
Trump “speaks in code,” as his former fixer, Michael Cohen, testified.
He avoids direct corrupt offers, but makes his intentions plain.
As he revealingly told a reporter, “I did not make a statement that
‘you have to do this or I’m not going to give you aid.’
"I wouldn’t do that. I wouldn’t do that.”
The code is Trump’s plausible deniability.
But in several comments, he has translated it, eliminating that deniability.

When it comes to congressional funds, it's "use it or lose it."
So when September arrived, the White House was skirting
close to the deadline by which they were legally required
to alert Congress to an official reason for the freeze.
Then, someone filed a whistleblower complaint.
The White House released the funds shortly after, on Sept. 11.
And by the end of the month, that complaint was public.
Presiderp had failed to pressure Ukraine president Zelensky
into caving in to Presiderp's demands-
Zelensky refused "to get in the public box."
Presiderp's goal was to force Zelensky to say
that he was investigating Biden and his son Hunter.

But for two news articles, President Trump’s strong-arming of Ukraine
probably would have worked.
On Aug. 30, he told Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) that the aid had been
held up until investigations were announced.
Johnson asked Trump if that was the case the next day, pressing him
to release the aid.
Trump told Johnson that it was being held in part because he wanted to know
“what happened in 2016.”
(Presiderp Code translation- Presiderp wanted Zelensky to lie, and get Russia
off the hook about election interference in USA. Presiderp wanted Zelensky
to blame Ukraine's previous president and misnisters for what Russia had done.)
Johnson and Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) met with Zelensky in Ukraine on
Sept. 5. During that meeting, Zelensky asked about the aid, learning that only
Trump could get it approved.
Zelensky — who won election as an anti-corruption reformer —
decided to capitulate.
Two days later, after Zelensky had agreed to the CNN interview but before it
was set to occur, the administration released the aid. Zelensky’s team canceled
the interview, leaving Ukrainians to wonder what he might have said.
The Washington Post’s editorial board wrote on Sept. 5 that it had been
“reliably told” that the aid was on hold to pressure Ukraine to initiate
investigations helpful to Trump. That was a Thursday; by Monday, Sept. 9,
Democratic lawmakers had announced an inquiry of the Trump administration’s
dealings with Ukraine. That day, the House and Senate intelligence committees
were informed about a whistleblower complaint filed in response to Trump’s
July 25 call, although it’s not clear whether they were informed about its focus.
Within days, the entire effort to persuade Ukraine to announce new investigations
became public, with a slew of news reports digging into Trump’s interactions
with Zelensky.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sat beside (Presiderp)
Donald Trump on Wednesday as he denied that Trump pressured
him to investigate former Vice President and current 2020 presidential
candidate Joe Biden’s son for his work in the country.
The two leaders held a meeting at the U.N. one day after Speaker
Nancy Pelosi announced that the House would launch a formal
impeachment inquiry into Trump following reports of the (Presiderp’s)
phone call with Zelensky in July.
“I think you read everything. I think you read text,” Zelensky said
to the gathered reporters on Wednesday. “I’m sorry, but I don’t want
to be involved to democratic, open elections of U.S.A. No, you heard
that we had good phone call. It was normal, we spoke about many
things. I think, and you read it, that nobody pushed me.”

“So no pressure,” Trump added.
Presiderp had success in the most important media bites-
"No quid pro quo."
"No pressure."
"A perfect phone call."

Fuckery
On October 3, during a White House lawn press gaggle, Donald Trump
told reporters that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had
no problem with his phone call to Ukrainian president Volodymyr
Zelensky. “He said, ‘That was the most innocent phone call that I’ve read’,”
Trump said.
On Tuesday, McConnell denied that. Not only did the Kentucky Republican
not praise the phone call, but he’s never even spoken to Trump it, he said.
“We’ve not had any conversations on that subject,” McConnell told
reporters. Asked if that meant Trump was lying, McConnell said,
“You’d have to ask him. I don’t recall any conversations with
the president about that.”
Trump’s apparent fabrication of McConnell’s quote is part of an
increasingly common pattern in which he passes along praise
from a third party that’s impossible to source and then gets called
on it, typically by reporters and occasionally by the person who
supposedly uttered the compliment. It’s a departure from Trump’s
long-held habit of inventing quotes and attributing them to unnamed
“anonymous validators,” or making up quotes that purportedly came
from his political opponents. And it comes at what would seem to be
a bad time for this type of dishonesty, as he and the rest of the GOP
accuse Adam Schiff of making up quotes himself.
