Trump depicted in Mueller report feared being called a fraud

As the Russia investigation heated up and threatened to shadow Donald Trump's presidency, he became increasingly concerned. But the portrait painted by special counsel Robert Mueller is not of a president who believed he or anyone on his campaign colluded with Russians to interfere in the 2016 election.

Instead, the Trump of the Mueller report is gripped by fear that Americans would question the very legitimacy of his presidency. Would Trump, the man who put his name on skyscrapers and his imprint on television, be perceived as a cheater and a fraud?

To Trump, his victory over Hillary Clinton was both historic and overwhelming, though he won millions of votes less than did the Democratic candidate.

If people thought he'd won with the help of Russia, that glorious victory might be tainted.

Just a month after Election Day, on Dec. 10, 2016, reports surfaced that U.S. intelligence officials had concluded Russia interfered in the election and tried to boost Trump's presidential bid.

The next day, Trump went on Fox News and called the assessment "ridiculous" and "just another excuse." The intelligence community actually had "no idea if it's Russia or China or somebody," he argued.

The fraud is not DJT. The fraud is the media and the dems.

NO ONE wants to be accused and/or punished for a crime he/she DID NOT commit. Why should anyone take that sort of abuse? The MSM believes itself to be the criminal justice system: judges, jurors, executioners.

Story was surely written weeks ago. Part of a file of misdirection to be dumped if these Barr hearings didn’t go their way (and they haven’t).

This is just a pretext to float out the notion that Trump is afraid. They love to paint that picture, to them he’s just quivering while holed up in the White House. Couldn’t be further from the truth, but it’s what they want to believe, and want everyone to believe. They’ll never understand him. That’s a blessing in a way, they’ll be perpetually caught off guard.

So the point of this article is that the man who has had a tremendous personal life with great children and marriages to beautiful women, has amassed a Fortune and that being in the competitive field of real estate in New York City. And has now been elected president of the United States is concerned about being seen as a fraud? Really

This is ozone. It has a characteristic odor and is present around sudden and impending electrical discharges.
