‘Blinded by YouTube fame’: Stunts and pranks go awry in the online era

(CNN)An attempt to go viral on YouTube ended in death and a manslaughter charge this week, the latest bid to win online fame that has ended badly.

Police in Minnesota said Monalisa Perez, 19, shot and killed her boyfriend Pedro Ruiz III on Monday as part of a video the pair planned to post on YouTube. Thinking it would protect him, Ruiz held a book up over his chest as Perez fired at him from a foot away with a handgun, police said.

But the book failed to stop the bullet, and Ruiz was pronounced dead from a single gunshot to the chest.

Perez, who is pregnant, has been charged with second-degree manslaughter. She faces up to 10 years in jail and a fine of up to $20,000 if convicted.

Path to fame can be swift nowadays

There's certainly nothing new about fame-seeking stunts ending in disaster.

Evel Knievel, one of the world's best-known stuntmen, rose to fame in a series of daring motorcycle jumps, with many ending in spectacular, bone-crunching failures.

In Knievel's 2007 obituary, The New York Times detailed a motorcycle jump early in his career that saw him land in a box of rattlesnakes, much to the delight of audience members.

"Right then," Knievel said, "I knew I could draw a big crowd by jumping over weird stuff."

In the old MTV reality show "Jackass," stunts often resulted with Johnny Knoxville or Steve-O puking or going to the hospital.

But nowadays the path to fame is much simpler: Do crazy stuff, film it, post a video on YouTube and then watch the likes and subscriptions roll in.

There's more to it, of course, but the allure of Internet celebrity -- and money from sponsorship revenue -- has led to a number of online stunt challenges or pranks with various mishaps in recent years.

As the Minnesota shooting death proved, these can go awry in disastrous ways. Here's a look at a few other instances of Internet stunts or pranks that were taken too far:

Planking

The fad of planking was an Internet photo sensation a few years ago. The idea was for people to lie down flat -- like a plank of wood -- in odd or humorous places, take a photo and post it online.

Most of these stunts were simple and silly, but one-upmanship eventually took over as daredevils planked in more outrageous and dangerous places.

In May 2011, a 20-year-old Australian man lost his balance and fell to his death while attempting to plank on the balcony of a high-rise, police said.

Queensland police at the time warned people to stop trying to "outdo" each other.

"The potential disaster increases as more and more risks are taken to get the ultimate photo," a police statement said.

Playing tricks on kids

As Jimmy Kimmel's recurring "I Told My Kids I Ate All Their Halloween Candy" videos have shown, tricking children into tears and anger is a great way to rack up views and likes on YouTube.

Though often harmless, the trend may have hit a low point with the YouTube account DaddyOFive, with Michael and Heather Martin pulling pranks on their five children and then posting videos online.

In one video, the parents destroyed their son's Xbox One. In another, they goaded their kids to play a game in which they slapped each other in the face.

The account, which had about 760,000 followers, eventually garnered a fierce critical backlash. In April, the parents posted a teary public apology, admitting they went too far.

"What started out as family fun and entertainment took on a life of its own," they wrote in the video description. "Before we knew it, we were caught up in our family's popularity, which led to some poor decisions. Upon reflection, we realize there were mistakes made that caused our family some pain."

In May, the Frederick County, Maryland, Sheriff's Office served a court order taking away custody of two of the children back to their biological mother, Maj. Tim Clark said. Clark said he wasn't sure of the children's custody status now.

"They were caught up in their own characters and popularity," Fallston Group, a public relations agency, said in a statement. "They were blinded by YouTube fame and again, upon reflection, made some very poor decisions."

'Duct tape challenge'

Popular Web challenge leads to teen's horrific injuries

In a stunt called the "duct tape challenge," YouTubers wrap themselves in the tape so they're functionally immobile and then attempt to wiggle their way free. Usually, those taking the challenge are taped to a chair and spend a couple of minutes wrestling with the tape while sitting.

However, the YouTube challenge went awry in Washington state in January 2016 when a 14-year-old boy, with his hands and feet taped, fell, crushing his eye socket and causing bleeding in his brain.

The boy, Skylar Fish, lost vision in his eye but survived the fall, according to CNN affiliate KIRO-TV in Seattle.

Nearly 2 tons of weed disguised as lettuce seized at Texas border

(CNN)Carrots didn't work, neither did limes. Now drug smugglers are trying to use lettuce to disguise their marijuana shipments into the United States.

The truck hauling the "produce" crossed the Laredo-Colombia Solidarity International Bridge along the Texas-Mexico border. The fake veggie packages were discovered by a narcotics K-9 team, imaging and physical inspection of the trailer.

"This is truly an example of our CBP officers' hard work, experience and dedication to the CBP mission," Port Director Gregory Alvarez said in a statement. "I congratulate the officers in advancing the CBP mission and protecting the public from illegal narcotics."

The drugs have an estimated street value of $741,186, according to the statement. The case is now under investigation with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations special agents.

These type of shipments aren't uncommon for border patrol officers.

In February, border officers in Pharr, Texas, seized 3,947 pounds of weed in a commercial shipment of key limes.

In 2016, 2,493 pounds of marijuana were concealed in carrot-shaped packaging entering from Mexico.

This Is What The Wedding Night Is Actually Like, According To Couples

Sponsored by  FreePLRArticles.biz 

=>

For many newlyweds, the wedding night isnt all its cracked up to be.The expectation is a glamorous evening full of endless champagne and awesome sex (hey, its possible!).The reality usually involves scarfing down some fast food and then passing out soon after.

We asked HuffPost readers how they actually spent their first night as a married couple. See what they had to say below:

1. I laid on the floor of the living room with my wife and two of my bridesmaids eating Taco Bell tortilla chips before finally going to bed, getting up to puke from having so much to drink at the reception, coming back to bed and then passing the f**k out. Katie H.

2. My husband fell asleep, all clothes on, shoes too, about two minutes after we got into the room. And oh yeah, my mother was sharing a room with us. So I spent most of my night awake on my phone and Netflix because I had them snoring on each side.Even still, I wouldnt have changed it for anything. Brittany S.

3.There was a mouse in our mountain cabin. It had made a mess of the tidy and well-stocked honeymoon surprise accommodations. Every time my husband heard it scurry in the night, hed hop out of bed to check the traps in the kitchen. He was out to get the rodent, not so much his bride!Thankfully, 28 years later we can laugh about it. Kimberly B.

4. My spouse and I spent the night playing Pokemon Go (it had just come out) and laughing with our friends until late in the evening. We then laid in bed for hours talking and laughing and just saying I love you. It was the grossest, mostaffectionate thing I had done and I wouldnt trade it for the world.We passed out slightly aftermidnightand couldnt be bothered to have sex. We waited until the next day. Fernando J.

5. That night I slept in one bed with our 4.5-month-old baby because she was nursing still and my husband slept in the other bed at the motel. Lisa N.

6. We went out to sing karaoke at a lesbian dive bar. We sang A Whole New World in our wedding dresses. Went to our hotel, grabbed coffee in the lobby, and pored over all the well-wishes on social media before crashing. Darek Y.

7. I was so sweaty and gross from dancing the whole reception I told him I had to shower before we did anything. Then we had our fun. Around2 a.m.I was starving (because no one ever lets the bride and groom eat, theyre all wanting pictures and to give their congratulations). So my husband and I went to Dennys just down the street from our hotel, and we ate Grand Slams and watched a movie before crashing for good. Heather B.

8. We had dinner with our parents at our favorite restaurant, then came home to drink wine and watch the season finale of RuPauls Drag Race (my husband correctly guessed the lip sync winners), followed immediately by watching Starship Troopers. Oh, and then we played video games. Absolutely a perfect evening. Nicole G.

9. We went out dancing with friends and came home at3 a.m.starving. Spent our night cuddling and eating room service mac & cheese and then passing out. Sexy time was saved for the morning once we had the energy. Katrin B.

10. We totally forgot to eat at our reception. My moms friend was kind enough to load us up with a plate full of wedding cake before we left. That night, we sat in the jacuzzi in our room and ate cake before we...well, you know. Keeana P.

11. We got married in a chapel on our college campus on aWednesdayevening, and afterwards we went to our dorm room and watched The Princess Bride until we passed out. Had to go take a music theory exam the next morning! Emma P.

12. I got food poisoning from something at our wedding. My husband had an intense headache. We went to a hotel that was gifted to us for the night, missing our after party, and slept. Well, I didnt sleep much because I was vomiting. Felicia L.

13. I vividly remember face-planting into the bed while my husband unbuttoned the back of my wedding gown for me since I couldnt do it myself. After we had changed into some comfy clothes, we called my younger sister (one of my bridesmaids) to come hang out with us in our room. We ended up ordering pizza with her and gossiping about various things that happened earlier that day. It wasnt a traditional wedding night, especially since we spent it with my sister, but my husband and I wouldnt have it any other way! We were WAY too tired and sore to do anything else! Annalis L.

14. My husband helped me out of my dress and with all the bobby pins in my hair. We put on old pajamas, ate our cookies, split the bottle of champagne, and watched some episodes of Frasier, and then got down to business. Amber L.

15. My husband and I forgot condoms, so we went into the drugstore, me still in my wedding dress, to buy some! Joelle D.

16. We were exhausted and sweaty from the long, hot day and hours of dancing so we took a soak in the giant tub. It took forever to fill with water so we sat in it while we waited. We opened our cards and read the notes from family and friends. Then we just sat talking about how happy and relaxed we were. Next thing I know, I wake up and the tub is full and spilling over into a hole near the top obviously there to prevent people like us from flooding the room. My husband and I had fallen asleep! We went to bed with my hair still up in a wet fancy bun and didnt actually consummate the marriage until the next morning. Erin M.

17. He carried me over the threshold into our hotel room, then I started yelling at him to take off my dress because I had to pee so bad and had been holding it most of the day! I then made him close his eyes because I didnt want him to see me in my extremely unsexy (yet functional) body shaper and Spanx. Heather S.

18. We drank champagne, ate the complimentary chocolates, and opened all of our cards and gifts while lounging in our bridal suite in our underwear. Then we passed out! Staci Z.

19.After the reception we Ubered to a hotel near LAX to spend four hours (only four hours) before shuttling to catch our flight. We removed the 9,000 bobby pins from my hair, then tried to sleep. AnnieS.

20. I stayed at the hotel while my husband ran home to walk the dog it was hard enough getting a babysitter for our four month old, we couldnt find a dog sitter. Then he came back, we took a nap, and ordered room service a cheeseburger at2 a.m. No diapers or bottles: perfection. Samantha L.

21. We stopped at McDonalds, drove to a family friends beautiful timeshare on the beach, then had a ton of sex. It was everything broke teenagers could ask for. Sam G.

China refuses cancer treatment abroad for Nobel winner Liu Xiaobo

Sponsored by  E-book Vault - Free E-book's

=>

Beijing (CNN)Nobel prize winning Chinese dissident Liu Xiaobo has been refused permission to travel overseas to receive cancer treatment.

A Chinese vice minister of justice met with diplomats from the US, Germany and EU on Thursday to brief them about Liu's case, and told the diplomats that Liu can't travel abroad for treatment because he is too sick to travel, according to a source familiar with the meeting.

Liu had been serving an 11-year prison sentence for "inciting subversion of state power" in Jinzhou, near the city of Shenyang in northeastern China.

His case has come under an international spotlight amid allegations from his supporters that he had become gravely ill because his cancer wasn't treated in prison.

In a statement released Wednesday, Shenyang authorities appeared to attempt to dispel this speculation, saying his cancer was diagnosed less than a month ago, on June 7, after a routine check-up found unusual symptoms on May 31.

A medical team comprised of eight renowned oncologists have seen Liu seven times and formed a treatment plan, it said, adding that the hospital has invited traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) practitioners to join the team at the request of Liu's family.

US ambassador's appeal

Terry Branstad, the new US ambassador to China, on Wednesday urged Beijing to let Liu seek cancer treatment elsewhere.

In his first public remarks since arriving in China, the former Iowa governor told reporters that he hoped the two sides could work together to address Liu's condition.

"It's very serious," he said. "Obviously, our hearts go out to him and his wife and we're interested in doing what can be done to see if it's possible. We Americans would like to see him have the opportunity for treatment elsewhere, if that could be of help."

A Chinese foreign ministry spokesman dismissed the ambassador's appeal.

"Liu Xiaobo is a Chinese citizen," said Lu Kang at a regular press briefing. "Why should we discuss his case with other countries?"

Liu's plight has become a rallying point for activists in Hong Kong, which is hosting Chinese President Xi Jinping as part of festivities to mark 20 years of Chinese rule in the former British colony.

Video

A video posted Wednesday by an overseas Chinese news website Boxun known for its access to Chinese government sources, appeared to show Liu working, exercising and meeting visiting family members in prison.

It also shows him receiving medical check-ups and treatment in prison and at hospitals.

Liu could be heard describing how prison officials had been taking good care of him, especially his health, and expressing his gratitude to them.

The statement from Shenyang's judicial authorities said that Liu's wife, Liu Xia was staying with him at the hospital.

"Liu and his family members are satisfied with the work and treatment by the prison and the hospital," the statement said.

The statement also said Liu had a history of hepatitis B before imprisonment and prison authorities had provided him with an annual physical examination as well as monthly checkup - and no abnormal conditions had been found before the recent diagnosis.

A prolific writer and longtime activist, Liu had been in and out of jail since the bloody crackdown on pro-democracy protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 1989.

His most recent conviction on Christmas Day 2009 stemmed from his co-authorship of Charter 08, a manifesto calling for political reform and human rights in China.

In 2010, while in prison, Liu was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for "his long and nonviolent struggle for fundamental human rights in China."

US, China relations begin to cool as Trump’s honeymoon with Xi ends

Sponsored by  SmartQuotes - Your daily smart quote 

=>

(CNN)In a flurry of announcements likely to antagonize Beijing, US President Donald Trump's administration has seemingly thrown its China policy into reverse, cooling relations between the two super powers.

In less than one week, the US has finalized a $1.4 billion arms sale to Taiwan, labeled China one of the world's worst human traffickers and imposed sanctions on a Chinese bank for doing business with North Korea.

Trump and Xi had previously enjoyed an unusually cordial relationship since their first February meeting in Florida, with the US president describing Xi as a "terrific person" with whom he had a "very good relationship."

In exchange for Xi's agreement to help restrain North Korea, the Trump administration loosened or withdrew US pressure in other areas, including the South China Sea and Trump's previous campaign pledge to label China a currency manipulator.

But on June 21, Trump sent a tweet saying Chinese efforts to restrain North Korea had "not worked out," while adding he greatly appreciated that they had "tried."

"It's a very firm indication that the honeymoon after the Mar-a-Lago summit is over and that tweet in particular ... that was a clear signal that there was going to be a change and cooling in temperature of China and US ties," Euan Graham, International Security Program director at Sydney's Lowy Institute, told CNN.

Sanctions placed on Chinese bank

On Thursday, the Trump administration announced plans to go ahead with a $1.4 billion arms sale to Taiwan, a move which has angered Beijing, which still considers the island a rogue province and part of mainland China.

Can China help the US deal with North Korea?

The arms sale came the same day as new sanctions were announced on China's Bank of Dandong, which the US accuses of supporting illegal North Korean financial activity. On Tuesday, a new US government report labeled China as one of the world's worst offenders in human trafficking.

"From the beginning, President Trump has tied all these US-China issues together expecting cooperation from China on North Korea for cooperation from the US on these other issues," said Anthony Ruggiero, a North Korea expert and senior fellow at the Defense for Democracy.

Ruggiero said the decision to sanction Dandong was "long overdue," adding pressure could be put on China through their need for US currency.

"China is now in a position where it must defend a bank the US said is a money laundering concern. The Chinese leadership will wonder if the Trump administration will sanction a medium-sized Chinese bank next," he said.''

US officials call for North Korea containment

The decision to step up pressure on China comes as several prominent Trump administration officials have warned further action was needed against North Korea's nuclear missile program.

Analyst 'pessimistic' after North Korean meeting

On Wednesday, US ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley labeled estimates that North Korea was "three to five years from developing a long-range nuclear weapon capable of reaching the US" as "optimistic."

The same day, US National Security Adviser HR McMaster publicly confirmed military options had been prepared to deal with North Korea.

"What we have to do is prepare all options because the President has made clear to us that he will not accept a nuclear power in North Korea, and a threat that can target the United States and target the American population," McMaster told a Washington think tank.

North Korea was a prominent topic of discussion when Trump welcomed South Korean President Moon Jae-in at the White House Thursday night, although the Korean leader favors a diplomatic approach rather than military engagement.

"It is significant that (the sanctions) occurred on the afternoon of Moon's visit," Ruggiero told CNN. "This becomes a line in the sand that leaves the idea for engagement with North Korea open to discussion, but when it comes to pressure, shows the US will do as much as it can."

Taiwan arms deal long expected

Taiwan's Ministry of Defense said in a statement Friday morning they were "sincerely grateful" for the US decision to go ahead with the arms deal.

Trump's intentions questioned in Taiwan call

"The arms sale was proposed by our country last year. The package includes eight types of equipment and system, which will boost our combat capabilities in air and sea," the statement said.

China's ambassador to the US Cui Tiankai furiously denounced the sale in Chinese state media People's Daily, saying it violated the agreed upon "one China" policy.

"China has made strong protests to the US and will reserve the right to take further measures," state media quoted him as saying.

Zhang Baohui, professor of political science at Lingnan University, said until this week many high-profile Taiwanese had believed the US was moving away from them.

"(This arms deal) didn't go through for a while and some people suspected it was due to Trump's so-called reliance on China to resolve the North Korea issue ... so I think this arms sale could boost confidence (in US)," he said.

Zhang said this arms package, originally begun under former President Obama, was smaller than the last US arms deal with Taiwan, while Graham told CNN the actual contents of the newly approved Taiwanese arms deal were not especially provocative.

"They're not talking about major front line aircraft or major breakthroughs in technology, I think it's consistent with the Taiwan Relations Act and the provision of defense capabilities under that," Graham said.

"I don't see that alone as a provocation towards China, rather I think if we connect up these other areas, including sanctions on Chinese entities, that's the thing to watch."

Delegitimizing his presidency, one tweet at a time

Sponsored by  SmartQuotes - Your daily smart quote 

=>

Washington (CNN)It marked a rare presidential moment on a most un-presidential day -- Donald Trump stood at a podium flanked by flags as "Stars and Stripes Forever" rang out, after delivering a speech on energy.

But all around Washington, a storm of criticism still raged around his decision to level vicious tweets at MSNBC television anchor Mika Brzezinski.

The controversy was yet another reminder, a few days ahead of America's birthday, that Trump is a leader like no other in the nation's 241-year history, who plans to stay true to himself and is willing to flout norms of decorum.

The longer such antics go on, more and more people will question whether the leader of the free world is not just damaging his own presidency, but demeaning the office itself and potentially diminishing it for whoever comes after him.

Navarro to Trump: Stop acting like a mean girl

"It's unworthy of the office of President of the United States," Maine Sen. Susan Collins told CNN's Anderson Cooper. "And I am concerned about how we look in the eyes of the world as well as our own citizens."

Thursday's tweets focused attention on Trump's coarse brand of political discourse, and his ironclad principle that anyone who criticizes him, as Brzezinski did on her show on Thursday, can expect a gut punch in return.

His tweet outraged political leaders in Washington and renewed debate about the President's history of disparaging remarks about women. It left allies fuming about yet another day when his political agenda was drowned out by Trump-induced tumult.

But on a deeper level, the shocking tweet, which claimed that the "Morning Joe" host had been "bleeding badly from a facelift," raised questions about whether his behavior was appropriate from a head of state, about his respect for his office itself, and whether this presidency could irrevocably erode the standards of dignity that have grown around it since George Washington swore the first oath of office in New York City in 1789.

The New York Daily News revealed its Friday cover -- a bald eagle, head hanging down as if in shame, with "humiliation" in capital letters.

For a sense of proportion, it might also be said that his tweets, while often misrepresenting facts and dealing in personal attacks, pale in comparison to the actions of some of his predecessors. Also casting the presidency in a poor light were President Bill Clinton's Oval Office encounters with an intern and President Richard Nixon's cover-up that led to his resignation over the Watergate scandal.

And respect for the presidency, like many other institutions, was declining long before Trump tried his hand at politics. In 1991, 93% of Americans polled by Gallup had some level of respect for the presidency. By June 2016, that number was down at 63%.

Yet Trump's demeanor obviously falls short of the elevated standards established by the likes of Washington, Abraham Lincoln or Ronald Reagan, and appears to risk fraying that faith in his office still further.

Unlike some of those leaders, it is not clear that Trump regards the presidency as a public trust to be preserved and passed onto successive generations. He often seems more concerned with his own image than the reputation of the presidency itself, as his fixation with the size of his election victory and inauguration crowds has revealed.

Trump tweets about this more than anything

He's exactly the same

Trump does not exist in a vacuum. He is an expression of a polarized political age that lacks civility, shaped by reality television and instant emotional kick of social media that has shattered political and societal norms.In many ways, Trump seems to be exactly the same personality who lived out his life in the New York tabloids and swapped smutty stories with radio host Howard Stern.

So far at least, he doesn't seem to be changed by the responsibilities heaped on his shoulders.

But while his unchained style helped him win the presidency, it may be undermining his chances of significant achievements now that he is in office.

That's because the presidency is more than a job. The pageantry, from the Oval Office, to the "beast" limousine, to Air Force One as it jets into a foreign land, conjures up a mystique and a statement of power -- that Trump appears not yet to have harnessed to its full potential.

His White House's war with the media, the chaos that pervades the administration, and the fact the President dispels his own elevated aura by inviting the world into his mind every day on his Twitter feed also seem at risk of diminishing the unique power and prestige of his office.

Many Presidents were flawed men who made questionable moral choices. But most at least tried to keep their anger and most unguarded inner thoughts private, a safety valve that Trump seems to lack.

Trump's tweet was far from his only outrageous comment as a candidate or a President. But it appeared to set off a pent-up explosion of anger towards Trump over weeks of patience-fraying political tribulations.

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina tweeted: "Mr. President, your tweet was beneath the office and represents what is wrong with American politics, not the greatness of America."

Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski tweeted: "Stop it! The Presidential platform should be used for more than bringing people down."

House Speaker Paul Ryan, who normally swerves away from Trump tweets, said this one was not "appropriate" and didn't help efforts to change the political tone. Pennsylvania Republican Sen. Pat Toomey told CNN's Jake Tapper it was "maddening."

Trump focuses on looks of his female critics

Thin-skinned

In some ways, the outpouring of criticism toward Trump was surprising precisely because his attack on Brzezinski was not all that surprising.

After all, he has a long record of incendiary comments toward his perceived opponents in the media, and directed at women particularly.

During his campaign, he insulted John McCain's war record, made vulgar comments about then Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly and berated the grieving Muslim parents of a fallen war hero. As President, he claimed he was being wiretapped by the previous administration without evidence and seemed to suggest he may have tapes of conversations with FBI chief James Comey.

This time it seemed different, perhaps because the bullying tweet aimed at Brzezinski was another tweet targeted from the White House -- the people's house -- by a man who is the President of all Americans.

That may explain why few came to Trump's defense, save for his loyal deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, in an abrasive encounter with the White House press corps.

"The President has been attacked mercilessly on personal accounts by members on that program, and I think he's been very clear that when he gets attacked, he's going to hit back," Huckabee Sanders said.

"They do this day after day after day, and then the President responds and defends himself and everybody is appalled and blown away," she added.

But Trump's skin does seem particularly thin. Presidents have long been mercilessly attacked but have often chosen to respond in a manner in keeping with the dignity of an office that Washington called an "arduous trust" in his farewell address.

The last two Presidents, for example, have often fumed privately. After the Iraq War degenerated into a bloody insurgency, George W. Bush was relentlessly attacked over his intellect and leadership skills. But he rarely snapped in public.

President Barack Obama, the first African-American commander in chief, endured a character assassination over claims he was not even born in the United States -- conducted by Trump himself -- and only rarely displayed his public disgust for his accuser.

Trump's supporters, by this time, are well used to his eruptions on Twitter and elsewhere, and may shrug their shoulders at his assault on a mainstream media figure.

In fact, Huckabee said, Trump's bombast was the reason he is in the White House.

"The American people elected somebody who's tough, who's smart, and who's a fighter, and that's Donald Trump. And I don't think that it's a surprise to anybody that he fights fire with fire," she said.

History suggests it will take more than explosive tweets to tarnish the Oval Office.

"I am not sure that any damage to the office will be permanent because I cannot see another President like Trump being replicated," said Lori Cox Han, an author and professor who teaches courses on the presidency at Chapman University, California.

"I think of the office of the presidency as being incredibly resilient -- it survived Bill Clinton's impeachment, Richard Nixon's resignation ... survived the Civil War," Han said. "It and our Constitution will survive Trump -- no matter what side of the aisle you happen to be on."
