  1. He expects absolute loyalty from everyone and gives loyalty to absolutely no one.

    Everyone is expendable to him, particularly those closest to him.

  2. “We pursue justice without fear or favor”.. I certainly hope he means what he is apparently saying, and follows through.

  3. The Hitler oath pledged personal loyalty to Adolf Hitler in place of loyalty to the constitution of the country. Both members of the armed forces and civil servants would swear an oath to Hitler personally.

    –A week exactly after his inauguration, seated for dinner at a small, oval table in the Green Room of the White House, Donald Trump said to the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation what might end up being six most consequential words of his presidency. “I need loyalty, I expect loyalty.”

    –In the 241-year history of the United States of America, there’s never been a commander in chief who has thought about loyalty and attempted to use it and enforce it quite like Trump.

    “I value loyalty above everything else- more than brains, more than drive and more than energy,” Trump once said. [POLITICO]

    Donald Trump ‘kept book of Adolf Hitler’s speeches in his bedside cabinet’ [Independent]

    -One of Trump’s ex-wives said he had a book of Hitler’s speeches, “My New Order”, in his bedroom. Trump said his friend Marty Davis from Paramount gave Trump a copy of Mein Kampf, and said Davis is a Jew. Davis was not a Jew and the book was not Mein Kampf.

  8. any true and patriotic American should condemn this man and cheer on as he is prosecuted.Loyalty to a president and not nation is a spit in the face to the founding fathers.

  9. He’s such a creepy mafioso. Be loyal to no fickle man. Only to your own soul & to a higher power. His ego continues to be absurd.

  10. If an elected official, enjoying public trust, commits a crime, they should be held to a Higher Standard.
    They should be prosecuted first, without hesitation, for violating the trust of the public. NO Mulligans.

    1. “However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reigns of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion.” George Washington September 17,1796

  15. Fortunately, trump’s version of loyalty only goes one way. He has never shown loyalty to any of those he expected it from.
    I firmly believe that to be a major component to his eminent undoing, and it certainly didn’t help that he remains as crooked as they come.
    May the courts find this to be the case and heap a bone crushing sentence his way.

  17. A Malignant Narcissists loyalty is a one way street. You owe them every loyalty & they owe you nothing in return. Only another Narcissist or people with very low self esteem are willing to tolerate this type of abuse.

  18. It kinda makes you wonder
    With everything he has done
    And yet they haven’t done anything to him
    We have many people who just believe that Trump really didn’t do anything because they aren’t doing anything to him
    I think Trump will be very surprised if they ever do anything about everything he has done
    I’m getting tried of his supporters telling me how wrong I have been
