Trump thinks he is going to "celebrity his way out of this one" He just doesn't know..

This isn't some TV show. It isn't court where you can settle the claim for a certain amount. It isn't the real estate business. It isn't college where connections and money often rule....no...This is national politics of the most important kind.....ruthless on all sides..

The rules are different This is as rough as it gets and rougher. But Trump thinks is some kind of game...where he is in charge. What he doesn't know, is he has already lost. It needs to be played out, but Trump has lost in my opinion. Mueller & Company play for keeps. Mueller and Company have a certain attitude that says you can't break the law. The law is for all.

Yet Trump thinks it is still a game that he is going to win. He can con this one and that one. Tell a lie over here and another over there. Cover for Junior..no problem. Go to Paris..no problem..

What Trump hasn't figured out yet, he and his family have already lost this one. He just doesn't know.

that is the attitude...and he won't be able to ..do any out foxing here. I watched Watergate so closely that I was wondering if Nixon could Nixon his way through .......The lies had worked before, but they didn't work then. Bush Jr..also...Correct, Trump will not be able to "out fox them"

Note:...We didn't have the so called, "lie problem" with the last president. That was not him. It never was and never will be.

Republicans had a Democrat control the Whitehouse 8 years they won't grow balls to bring up impeachment. Plus after trump is out some of them hope for financial help from trump.

...but he certainly doesn't know much.

I think we'll see nothing new from him, just more of the usual deflection and made-up attacks, because Donald doesn't learn.

absolutely nothing will take the stain and the stench off him. He will be known as an ABERRATION of a blip in history. Whatever legislative destruction he manages to force through will be reversed eventually. He doesn't stand for anything except his short sighted self, and nothing will be left to stand for him.

More and more are realizing that. Even some conservatives see this. As we can see, this makes him dangerous.
