Trump asked source to go on TV to call on him to fire Robert Mueller

Trump asked source to go on TV to call on him to fire Robert Mueller
By JACQUELINE ALEMANY CBS NEWS April 13, 2018, 11:16 AM

That President Donald Trump has been running his own parallel communications shop inside the White House probably won't come as much of a surprise. A source told CBS News on Thursday that Mr. Trump called on Wednesday and asked the source to go on television -- to call for Mr. Trump to fire special counsel Robert Mueller.

Meanwhile, on Thursday afternoon, the president tweeted a message that took a more subdued tone than that of his cable news spinning allies: "I have agreed with the historically cooperative, disciplined approach that we have engaged in with Robert Mueller (Unlike the Clintons!). I have full confidence in Ty Cobb, my Special Counsel, and have been fully advised throughout each phase of this process."

The president has been known to spend what's marked on his schedule as his "executive time" watching Fox News, tweeting, and calling friends and outsiders for advice, independent of his White House communications team — and often against the advice of senior White House advisers.

And if he'd like to do something the voices haven't told him to do, he has to contact them and tell them to tell him to do it, through his TV.

How fucked up is that?

since I have been sick with a high fever and things are funky sometimes. I like your reasoning...It is logical and illogical at the same time.

It's been said before, but it just struck me again the other night when I accidentally allowed myself to be exposed to audio/video of the Fucking Moron in Chief that he seems to think he is a performer on a reality tv show. Everything is staged for the cameras. It is one of the creepiest things about a truly creepy creep.

This is the worst human who ever lived outside of the Hitler's i.e. mass murderers.
To gratify himself or save himself he will watch most of the population die if necessary.

Trump can't fake it. He is a soulless cancer on America.

should take back the White House and the District of Columbia. And y'know how? He should really fire Bob Mueller. If you're watching me right now, Mr. President, fire Robert Mueller. I mean now. Don't wait for the commercial. Do it NOW!", then Trump would fire Robert Mueller?

were somehow able to infiltrate Fox and take over Hannity's show, and tell Trump, on TV, that he should confess all his crimes, resign the presidency, turn himself in to the special prosecutor, and donate all his money to the ACLU.

Would he do it?
