About Trump, Sessions, "Witch Hunt", Cohen ..etc..Why Trump doesn't have a clue.

...In his past life, as a business man, TV star, cheater, liar, etc., Trump always bought his way out. When he couldn't, he declared "bankruptcy" and stiffed those he owed. In his mind, he came out ahead..with money, a woman, his status, etc...That may not have been real, but he rarely faced consequences for his deeds and lies.
The lawyers took care of it, or the money did.

..This is a different game. More lies, cheating, and bankruptcy will not save him. He cannot declare bankruptcy in this game. He can only resign in disgrace. He acts as if he can bully his way out with his "tweets" and temper tantrums. He can't.

He is up against the very best. If he finds a way to fire Mueller, it will get much worse. (he doesn't think that is possible, but it is) He seems to think this will end positively for him. Will the Republican Party back him up? Or, will the members of the Republican Party, in the end, try to save their own asses. Is the selfish Republican Party, (known for its self centered thinking), going to go down for Trump to save Trump? How many will give their whole careers just to save Trump?.. A very HUGE PILE OF S**T IS HEADING TO THE FAN, and the Pukes are going to sacrifice their careers to save Mr. Trump? They are going to stand in front of that pile as it hits the fan to protect Trump?.......
.
.I don't think so. I think Trump will have to take the smattering as it hits the fan, and the rest of them will run as far as they can to avoid the fallout. And I think it will hurt the Trump family in ways they cannot imagine. I can imagine the ways, but I don't think they can.

But, like you, I believe it is going to go far worse for him than simply "GAME OVER". This one is going to leave a mark.

IF we are lucky.
What's scary is that he isn't just fucking with his or other's reputations, he's shredding the very Constitution in front of us all as well. ...and right now he is still getting away with it. THAT'S the scary other side of your observation.

Yea, he will keep doubling down, but it hurts us ALL every time.
...and the Rethugs that are continuing to go along with each of these fucked up steps and deflections, rants, and downright treasonous acts, are selling us ALL down the river for a few more months of power...

So, Trump will try to bully his way out of any discussion. But you said, and I quote," his old M.O. isn't gonna work here...."

So, do you think Trump will bully Mueller into stopping the investigation of, "Obstruction of Justice"? I don't think Mueller will be bullied by Trump on any level. Mueller it seems is much better at doing what he is doing then Trump is at what he is doing..

You know, I thought that Presidents of the United States were supposed to tell the truth. (certainly as often as it is possible given the situation)...

I did not know that under Trump, it is ok to lie as often as possible with no regard for consequences. He hasn't been worried (till now) that he will pay with consequences. But ..."his old M.O. isn't gonna work here.
No amount of bluster or tweets will change that...none, zero..empty. nada..

Mueller will not respond to that. Mueller will keep going after all the info, until he gets the info that he wants, ...One way or another.. To prove what he wants to prove...........................

Mueller is not new at this, he has had a whole lot of experience in this area, far more than Trump has in politics or government Trump's experience is in lying and trying to con people. Am I correct?...and Mueller is an expert in catching the liars and putting them where he wants them...Is that correct? Has he done so up to now? We will see who wins this episode of .".As the World Turns." or .".Who tells the truth, Mueller or Trump."
