Except for the part about him not owning Manhattan...
I think what he did is his prerogative and was legal, but I also think he did it for his personal political gain.
Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's in the national interest and that it won't have political consequences.
I don't think he should be removed but I'm not kidding myself that he wasn't self-dealing with taxpayer money.
Irony, sometimes its just overwhelming.
