Trump, or any POTUS is not the decider of what is and isn't in the nation's


interest. What the "President truly believes" is irrelevant. And that's not at all what Dershowitz argued. His point was that if it's in the nation's interest, the fact that a POTUS may also benefit personally is neither a) uncommon, and more importantly, nor b) impeachable.

So carried out here, if it's in the Nation's interest to investigate Ukrainian meddling in the '16 election, and/or to investigate potential corruption with Burisma and the Bidens, whether or not Trump benefits personally (or Creepy Joe crashes and burns) is entirely irrelevant.

An impeachment trial would be one, and the ultimate mechanism for determining if it is or isn't in the nation's interest.
