“He pitches from one side to the other, between aggressive and sullen, threatening and sarcastic. Hungry and desperate. Predatory.”

This entire analysis describes my impression after listening to the call. He is calculating and relentless, the way he snakes repeatedly from fabricated data to threat to back-handed complement, back to fabricated data, over and over and over, wrapping it all up with his presumptive close that went something like, “So let’s meet tomorrow and wrap this up quickly or many bad things could happen.” I fully expect that there have been countless conversations like this between Trump and any number of people from whom he wants something. He expects people to do his bidding and he will hammer them until he gets what he wants.

He is dangerous and should be impeached. At a minimum, impeachment would prevent him from running for office again.
