Let's just end the speculation, he isnt talking to Mueller

Donald Trump cant even get through an interview w/ a morning TVnews pundit w/out lying and implicating himself. How on earth would he get through a criminal probe testimony with experienced investigators? Guy straight up implicated himself in a campaign finance violation and then said he didnt know about the payments until after the fact, as if there wasnt an audio recording all over the news just 3 weeks ago where they're discussing how to make the payments and that they should do it w/ a check instead of cash. Dang man, they say you have the right to remain silent for a reason. Yet your damn ego wont let you "lose" a news cycle so you trot your orange ass out there to do an interview on friendly turf and you cant even bumble your way through that without making it worse for yourself. How the hell is this man leading the largest economy and military in the world?

I am guessing the over/under is 6 for the number of words 45 would speak before Mueller could nail him for lying to the FBI.

Trump THINKS h can sell his version of events to Mueller, just like he thinks he can sell his message to his base through F&F. Whether he’s successful isn’t the point. Selling the Frump brand is, to him, the same as selling his messag.

But, it's already true that 8+ million more people didn't buy his goods than those who did. And 3 million of them all voted for the same other person.

On the other hand, Dumbo45 thinks he can walk in and tell Mueller "I am not a crook" and Mueller will just say, "Well, okay then. Case closed."
