Trump in huge trouble

Trump is in enormous trouble. This is not just due to the Mueller investigation although that by itself is a ticking time bomb wanting to explode trump's "presidency". Two other events could reduce the cover republicans are willing to give him. The tax plan exacerbated the upcoming debt ceiling limit problem.

Unless Congress gets its act together, the federal government will default on its debt in a few short weeks. This event would set off a constitutional crisis and a global financial crisis. And it would be not some inevitable catastrophe but wholly man-made, created by an inept White House and a Congress too distracted, disorganized or greedy to act in the nation’s best interest.

anything he will lose cover. Besides Mueller is not listening to this background noise and when he is ready to speak....everybody will be listening.

doesn't get his way on "the wall". I don't think we're going to see another shutdown, and I hope the activists among us won't be so quick to blame Dems. We lost our congressional ballot advantage, and there could be many reasons for that, but shutting down the government always was a gamble for us, because you never know where the backlash is gonna land. Let him think he's won, and just never provide the funding for the stupid wall. He's clearly already breaking the law by not implementing the Russia sanctions, so Congress should withhold funding for some of his projects.

Donnie Two-Scoops could give a shit less about a financial meltdown, a constitutional crisis, or a government default.

Unless it affects him, personally, IT. DON'T. MATTER.
You can bet your bippy he has money stashed in 'hard assets' like gold, precious gems, etc. Stuff that is easily transported and hidden.
His 'fortune' is in real estate and the 'branding' of the tRump* name.
