Trump says Special Counsel Mueller has conflicts

Trump says Special Counsel Mueller has conflicts

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump on Friday said he will likely strip Justice Department official Bruce Ohr of his security clearance and said Special Counsel Robert Mueller, leading the investigation into possible Russian meddling in the presidential election that Trump won, faces conflicts that undermine the credibility of his probe.

Speaking to reporters days after he revoked the clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan, Trump said that Mueller has a lot of conflicts.

Trump projects his small and petty vision of the world on to everyone else. He thinks everyone is as big an asshole as he is.

"Lots of conflicts" means absolutely nothing. He backs it up with nothing because there's nothing there.

I believe he has been told to tone it down, by advisors and family as well. (that is what I think)
And his conclusion is simple: "Nobody is going to tell me what to do." If he wants to tweet, then...
..........."I will tweet".... He might say, "Tweeting calms me down," and, "Don't tell me what to do"

Yes, I think he has been told in the nicest ways, many times to calm down, and don't react to what is going on...like this..Your job is different than others, I believe he has been told. But, I believe that Mr. Trump really doesn't give a shit what others think..He is the boss, and he will do what he wants..

...He is nuts!!! But more important than that...He thinks it his ballgame and he is totally in charge of tweeting and everything...........He loves the power, no one tells him to be quiet..But he forgets one important thing, maybe he doesn't forget, but he doesn't care.............That he represents 330,000,000 people in a wonderful
country known as the United States of America. Most of us don't want, and wouldn't act this way if we had the job, because it is a very special job to represent the country. The last guy knew, and others knew. But Mr. Trump doesn't give a shit, and he doesn't want to know this...That is why................................

.................................He CANNOT SHUT THE FUCK UP..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He just reacts to everything. He has no self-control or discipline. He takes the bait every single time.

Most of these things would just fade into the background if he didn't add so much fuel to the fire. But because of his incessant, childish desire for attention he needs the media to focus on him all the time and if the spotlight is off him for one moment he says or does something outrageous to make himself front and center again.

It's just exhausting! We can't take another six years of this shit.

It's no wonder he spews this shit like a fecal shower. It works.

And that is the overwhelming problem we'll face for time immemorial.
