TL;DR - Trump saw a poll on FNC on the morning of 7/25/19 that showed Joe Biden with a pretty commanding lead (10 points). And then, a little over one hour later, Trump calls Ukrainian President Zelensky to ask for a “favor” and then of course, after that, aid to Ukraine is promptly suspended.

Simply put, Trump freaked the fuck out over a poll. Yet again, as it has countless times in the past, his impulsiveness got the better of him…..and in this case, led to his impeachment.

I never thought about a poll influencing the call but I definitely think it was the same impulsiveness we’ve seen from Trump constantly. 7/24 also my birthday was the day Mueller testified. I think he thought he was in the clear after that.
