50% : According to people who have worked for him, Pecker mastered this technique - ethics be damned.Which brings us to Trump himself.
38% : I sometimes worry that the daily dismal drone of Trump world - the continuous lies and vindictiveness that issue from Trump and his campaign, the dismissive and derogatory ways he deals with and talks about others, the people who testify at his criminal trial about what they have done for him and what he has done for or to them - has a subtly corrosive effect on our own world.
33% : After he paid Daniels to keep silent and Trump was elected president, Cohen concocted with Trump a means of being reimbursed that involved falsifying records that disguised the repayment as ordinary legal expenses, according to his testimony.
32% : In his work for Trump, he repeatedly acted illegally and found ways to cover up his actions.
