I would say if he goes after Mueller even his base has to question that move. However as we all know he literally could shoot a man and retain their support. Which of course says more about The Cult than it does Trump. They are the ones allowing him to get away with all the dumb ass stuff he pulls by continuing their support regardless of what he does.

In looking back on Mr. Trump's words during the campaign re: the loyalty of his base:

I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue & shoot somebody & I wouldn’t lose voters.
Perhaps it wasn't such a far-fetched claim.

It is simple. He ran because he has the largest ego of any man who has ever lived. I'm thinking after Obama punked him publicly (still can't get enough of that clip) he decided that the people loved him so much he could win. And damned if he didn't dupe enough people to pull it off.

With this ego and his obsession with what people think I love how this will all end. Regardless of what is found in this investigation, and you better believe they will find plenty about the Trump family, there should be little question history will remember him for what he was. An unqualified baffoon who had no idea what he was doing.

Proving innocence is not an easy thing and it is not the way our system works.

He was able to do that in his business and I think he believed that the President was more like a King or a Boss and he could stop anything that dug too deep. And certainly, Cult 45, believes he should be able to.

Maybe he could OJ's old cell.

We elected a businessman for a reason. Now the left is holding it against him.

Unsuccessful people have always been suspicious of people are successful. It's a despair mechanism.

Mueller and Sessions are not on the left.

Regale us with how he has used his awesome business acumen to MAGA. Like Brownback and Rauner before him, the reality is far from the promise.

One thing ALL 'successful' businessmen do well is golf though!

When do we get the awesome health care? The beautiful wall? The infrastructure spending?
Even the tax reform is looking pretty darn iffy. "Deal making" FTW!

If none of those promises come to fruition, will that be the "left's" fault too?
