Trump Erupted When Mueller Was Appointed
September 5, 2018 at 6:32 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


On the day after Robert Mueller was named special counsel, Bob Woodward writes in Fear, President Trump “erupted into uncontrollable anger, visibly agitated to a degree that no one in his inner circle had witnessed before,” Axios reports.

“He watched a two-hour block of Fox News, and then most of the two-hour long blocks of MSNBC and CNN that he had TiVo’d. … He raged at the coverage. … ‘Everybody’s trying to get me … It’s unfair. Now everybody’s saying I’m going to be impeached … They’re going to spend years digging through my whole life and finances.'”

He wanted to damage Hillary and he wanted the notoriety to start up Trump TV. Once he started winning Putin took over, with help from American traitors, and he was locked in to being a Putin puppet.

I can't wait until the Blue wave washes his taxes up for all to see, can't wait for the downfall of the Trump crime family.

"They’re going to spend years digging through my whole life and finances.” Words of a man who has a lot to hide.

Either he should have led a better life or he shouldn't have put himself on the world stage as a presidential candidate. It is nearly impossible to bury any secrets, if you run for president and most of Trump's "secrets" were fairly common knowledge. He just brought them to the spotlight by going into national politics.

Of course, I don't think he had much choice but to run, because of Putin, but maybe he shouldn't have gotten so into it. He started to believe his own hype and clearly was enjoying himself. Too bad, he had a pretty good life for a corrupt vulgar creep. Now it is all going to shit.

Not so, IMO. He's just fucking evil. He's a proud career criminal who will steal you blind while shaking your hand. Ivanka is the same way. So is Junior and Eric. They're all slimeballs.

His campaign was meant to be the "biggest ever" exercise in vanity, exercise of power over the followers whose trust he enjoyed betraying, Trump brand promotion, and profiteering. A path to all the glory he sought. Instead he was delivered into a trap on the shoulders of deranged right-wing voters.

Putin helped a lot. Remember this, when they say there was no evidence of voting machine tampering they are correct because no voting machines were independently audited. The right wingers who own the machines claim proprietary privilege for the machine software.

Did not expect to get elected. He was just on an ego trip. He never considered his whole sordid history would be exposed.

That is why he exploded when Mueller was chosen. And his rages against Sesions. I guess Sessions knows he will go down, but with his integrity intact. Never thought Sessions had it in him, but maybe he put his Country first.

Trump was already telegraphing the plan to contest the loss in the 2016 election. He was publicly setting the table to create social division and unrest....just as Putin wanted it.

Ironically, though, maybe his "winning" has given this country greater awareness about the real threats that the Russian Putin Crime Family present to the free world. Every action that Trump has done clearly benefits one person - Putin.

So, thanks Trump for bringing rational Americans together in better understanding the real implications and dangers of your Presidency - you are totally owned by the Kremlin.

Everyone should read House of Trump, House of Putin....this book explains the real endgame of Putin.

Hey Donny, welcome to the usual process of running for president.

Maybe you could have forestalled some of this by releasing your tax returns before the election?

Just a thought.

... the repugs have collectively spent (hours & $$$) investigating democrats. Starting with the Clintons and continuing through the Obama's terms.

Please disassemble his house of cards built through lying, bullying, cheating and now collaborating with the enemy.

It seems there was a Democrat in office prior to the rigged election of what’s his name, who even though he felt victimized from day one, handled it like a MAN.
With regard to Trump;
I want to see his tax returns.
I want the Mueller results made available for the world to see.
I want his movement so restricted that he has to ask permission to take a shit.
I want his phones taken away.
I want the Republican party to pay dearly for its complicity in this farce of an administration.
I want his golf clubs taken away.
I want his “charitable organization” shut down.
I want his televisions taken away.
I want his stupid Twitter account closed.
I want a RETURN TO AMERICA!
The fool is a menace to the world.

Dumbass deserves everything coming to him (negatively) and he's already bankrupt morally. Where's is Congress in all of this? If something happens and rump gets us into war...he needs to be put up for murder as well as Congress (his enablers) and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, immediately.
