................2nd paragraph....exact words..
_____________________________________________________________________________________

President Donald Trump expects to be publicly absolved of any wrong doings by special counsel, Robert Mueller by year's end or soon after, and several people around him say the often-impulsive president could erupt in anger if that unlikely timeline is not met.

That is the second paragraph of a full page story in the "Nation & World" section of the Chicago Tribune. If true, it is disturbing for a number of reasons. If true, Trump has it in his mind, (what is left of it) that this is going to be concluded in his favor in 14 days. Yep, he thinks that is the show, and that is the end of the show.

Trump in that mind, has become the producer, director, and owner of the show. Trump thinks he can determine when the show will end and its contents....but......, this is not his show. It is the show of someone else, and events are controlled by an investigation that must be as complete and honest as possible. (last 5 words are beyond Trump's limited vocabulary and understanding)

Further, the idea of Trump..." erupting in anger " if that timeline is not met, shows how absurd Mr. Trump's thinking is. A prosecutor and investigator is not going to follow the "timeline" of the person being investigated.
Again, Trump does not own the show. While he and his goons may be the subject of the show, Trump does not own or control this show. It is the show of an "independent prosecutor." And I also read, that that prosecutor is not fresh out of law school, has lots of experience and has investigated people and events before. He has hired an outstanding team also with extensive experience in investigating such matters.

If Mr. Trump is mad about this, he needs to consult with an attorney who will inform him of who is the director and producer of the show. Now Mr. Trump may try to fire the prosecutor and investigator in this show, but that has been tried before (see Saturday Night Massacre, Nixon Administration) and did not work. The fact that Trump's impatience has been made a national news story in a major newspaper is ridiculous. Mr. Trump it seems has told associates about the impatience and wants to get this over with (in 14 day) And Mr. Trump it seems would like his timeline and his view of this followed.

But it is not his show. It is being run by another and that person is an "experienced independent prosecutor" with an experienced team. That director and producer of this show has no allegiance to Mr. Trump. The allegiance of the director and producer of the show is to another entity, not Mr. Trump's business. That entity has been around a couple of hundred years, and people like Mr. Trump do not control the show. Mr. Trump may think he does, but perhaps Mr. Trump could consult with some individuals who reported on a previous national leader who had similar thoughts of control as Mr. Trump currently has.

Both of these writers are still alive and can probably be consulted with a reasonable fee. Their names are Carl Bernstein, and Bob Woodard. These two reporters wrote two books: "All The President's Men" and "The Final Days." Mr. Trump needs to learn somehow that he does not control the show, and the show's contents and timeline are controlled by events and investigations totally and completely in another persons hands, not Mr. Trumps very small hands.
