AP’s Lemire: Trump’s Allies Now Realize Loyalty with Donald Trump Is a One-Way Street

‘We’ve seen for a president who talks so much about loyalty’

EXCERPT:

LEMIRE: "We’ve seen, for a president who talks so much about loyalty, who tells people around him that he wants his own Eric Holder or Bobby Kennedy in terms of attorney general and he's upset that Jeff Sessions betrayed him, in his words, by recusing himself in the Russia situation, this is happening more and more frequently. Whether it's Omarosa or Michael Cohen or now David Pecker, where people are out to save themselves and realize loyalty with Donald Trump is a one-way street. He doesn’t show much for them and here in a time of true crisis they’re not going to show much in return. The role of the 'National Enquirer' and AMI is really a fascinating one in Donald Trump's rise. It was positive story after positive story during those early months of the campaign to help him block out of the sun in terms of the other candidates running for president in 2015 and then into 2016."
