As the President of the United States, I have an absolute right, perhaps even a duty, to investigate, or have investigated, CORRUPTION, and that would include asking, or suggesting, other Countries to help us out!

1. In other words, no US laws apply to me!

[Mrs. Overall]

8. Exactly. He's now saying he did it but it doesn't matter because he has absolute power.

15. I absolutely adore your EW gif.

That's awesome

2. Time to go . . .

[Mr. Ected]

3. An absolute right?

Oh my God. Caligula is in charge.

4. Start with your own golden tower

Let’s clean up your ooze first.

5. He's really scared. Absolute right? Please.

6. Do ya mean absolute right ....

Like a King has absolute rights? Shut up, Asshat. Your days as exalted ruler are just about over. Enjoy it while it lasts. The next phase of your life won’t be nearly as much fun.

9. The madness of King Dump

At this point, I can't even fault him for his idiocy and absolute ineptitude. The Republicans own this. Shame on them. Shame on them for allowing this shit show to continue. Cowards.

11. I agree

I loathe him unreservedly, but he’s just being himself. The Senate GOP could stop this if they had the gonads to put their country before their own reelections.

They're not even courageous enough to put party before country, because their seats would be won by different Republicans in 2020 if they were primaries. They’re putting themselves before country, and it’s disgusting and cowardly.

10. Neither Ukraine or China have extradition treaties with the US

So why seek evidence of criminality from places you wouldn't even trust to send a criminal to?

[gulliver]

12. Isn't he admitting to doing what he falsely accused Obama of doing?

[DrToast]

13. If China wanted to troll Trump, they should announce they're investigating him

Announce they’re working on a document request as part of the investigation.

14. The guy is a traitor
