Mueller is desperately looking for a way to get fired and will keep up the farce until Trump is finally forced to act
“Mueller is desperately looking for a way to get fired and will keep up the farce until Trump is finally forced to act.”
Yes, Mueller wants Trump to fire him so he can use that to brand him as an obstructionist.
Meanwhile, Trump wants Mueller to tie him to a stake and light the match so he can use that to brand Mueller as a witch hunter.
Who will win this branding showdown?
Trump will win of course - branding is what he does. Mueller won’t know what hit him. Soon Trump will have the public seeing Mueller as a witch hunter, and he the innocent victim.
But the interesting thing to watch as this unfolds, is how Trump sets it up. How vulnerable will he pretend to be? How much dissent will he pretend there is on his legal team? How “besieged” will he pretend to be? How many cabinet chiefs will he pretend are stabbing him in the back? How on the verge of firing top DOJ personnel will he pretend to be? How guilty and defensive will he act?
My guess is he’ll pull out all the stops for the performance of a lifetime.
Best election ever
