He sounds a bit defeated.

Maybe a burned steak an some ketchup will make him feel better


It's Sunday afternoon. Take a break you moron (Trump).

He sounds defeated and resigned.

Golfing? Visiting his resorts and making taxpayers foot the bill? Watching Fox "News"? He hasn't worked hard enough cumulatively in his life to earn a break.

Like everyone else does after the tree lighting

He's lying. He's too stupid NOT to fire Mueller and if he says one thing he does the opposite.

It's not a matter of if he'll be outed, but when, and how ugly the senate fight will be.

He has a history of bolting when things get tough.

that it will go a whole lot worse for them than it was for Bork.

herself along with Orange Julius Caesar.

if that is the case. A principal not recusing herself.

all she's ever done is protect herself

Didn't say what exactly but I took it that he was saying that Mueller getting the emails was not looking good as far as its illegality is concerned.

But I hold out hope that the severity of his predicament is finally beginning to hit him.

But cynics do think alike, I imagine.

Muellar got the emails illegally is what Trump wants us to believe .

You know it's coming....

Good one! It's exactly his MO.

If anyone would know Trump's MO, it would be that guy.

He is not a precise thinker, and he doesn't have much of a vocabulary, so this is the best he can do. And he instinctively gives himself an out so he can claim success no mater what happens. He needs it because he is so insecure.

What did he say the other day about the FBI? "We're going to make it bigger and better than ever before"? How stupid is that?

First reality based, honest appraisal of his situation.
And the acceptance that he cannot do anything about Mueller.

Someone or something finally got through to him?

Edited to add: Or perhaps he meant it was not looking good for Mueller's use of the emails???

like "America's Mayor" Rudy Giuliani, he'll get the message.

Unclear to me. I still don't believe a thing he says.

I imagine they've been pacifying him, up to this point. I assume he hasn't been tweeting today, either?

Two questions:

If he resigns, can/will they go ahead and indict him if the charges are bad enough? They can't as long as he is POTUS, right?

Will they continue with the investigation and charge all the others who have been found to be deeply involved in the collusion or conspiracy with Russia? Other charges? It's beginning to look like there might be a bunch of Republican congresscritters with dirty hands and sticky fingers, so wouldn't they be forced to resign/be charged?

I don't want to see Trump resign and let everyone off the hook, including him.

Hillary's emails.

and he thinks his inner circle will either claim to not remember or claim privilege or or their version of events will not be given credibility over his version. He has been careful to delegate and keep a firewall of people as go-between conduits without leaving a paper or email trail and thinks he can maintain plausible deniability so blame falls on other people. He has gotten by with his schemes all his life with no repercussions.

He thinks ultimately he has power of pardon, support of Repubs and of course Putin loves him and will protect him.

where the main topic of discussion was most likely how screwed they know they are (extremely), and plotting to see how many they can get out from under the cloud (not many, if any at all).

Look for a lot more weasel words over the next couple of days. It looks like they know that the end is near, and they definitely want to go out screaming and trying to get their violent base worked up.

weekend and surrounded by his lawyers and advisors. I hope he will soon become a permanent resident of his Winter White House!

Pence.

Let me cut and paste it:

Sounds like he is resigned, perhaps? (Not that he will "resign" office, but that he is beginning to accept the inevitable in terms of damning evidence.)

from Mueller's investigative work. He may not be in a position to assume the presidency depending on how damning the evidence is.

He has done that before too.

He hasn't been preaching lately.

like Darth Cheney??



(checked his twitter account and he and his wife hosted a Christmas party for the SS and other stuff like that)

He won't be.

to fire him, but should my lawyers find he did anything wrong, maybe I will - that is what I see, so nothing has changed, but I acknowledge he looks uncharacteristically worried and not as cocky as usual.

??

But as far as the Mueller situation goes, I think somebody has convinced him at least temporarily to keep his cool.

"No collusion... No collusion" == " I am not a crook"

one was about the tax giveaway and the other was saying that he got "a lot of very important work done" this weekend at (the "very special place" ) Camp David... and was on his way back to the WH.

I seem to recall he does not like the place.

and it had to be all sorts of "family" who maybe insisted that this issue be discussed. I expect that they may believe everywhere else he goes is bugged out the wazoo... Would be interesting to discover if any real lawyers were there - not the yes people that he normally has all around him.

He does have to hang around to sign the tax debacle though.... although he could always try to autopen it from Florida.

You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy than Camp David this past weekend.

Did they try to placate him?

...as usual!

TrumpLand

Remember: He’s playing Mueller’s actions up as a scandal. When he says, “it’s not looking good,” he’s talking about Mueller’s actions, not himself.

I’m guessing Mueller will be fired by the end of the month, using the emails as a pretext.

“Not looking good” means someone else will have to pay.

...he'll simply fire Rosenstein and/or Sessions, and their successor will fire Mueller!

He is a classic narcissist and pathological liar. He might as well have opened his mouth and belched for all intents and purposes.

comes out of his mouth? Word salad reflecting his pinball brain.

I saw this on the nightly news and wondered if anyone else picked up on how unusual he sounded in that sound bite. The way he said "there was no collusion" didnt sound like it had as much bluster and bravado as normal. Its was almost like he was annoyed or said it while knowing something was about to drop.

And thought he seem more relaxed than usual.

He forgets by the end of a sentence what he said in the beginning of the sentence, so no assurance from him can be trusted to hood.

It usually means that person is getting fired in the next few days. So when something is not good...what does that mean?

…so inept in his language that he could mean "it's not looking good" in reference to Mueller did. I know, I know—it doesn't make sense, but it's completely out of character for Trump to refer to himself as being caught up in anything near the words "not good".

and how much spin Sarah Huckleberry thinks she can add before everyone becomes nauseously dizzy

as in its not good that this happened. this has nothing to do w/ something towards himself. The guy has seriously said he thinks the Access Hollywood tape may not be real to a sitting US Senator. Do you really think he is saying that comment in regards to himself. He'll be screaming "fake news" as the cell door is locked.

Or will firing him just make it even clearer I am guilty of everything?

Who will turn on him first, is the interesting story to me?

let his kids go to prison for him?

Probably.

And as usual, we can't tell whether he even heard the question.
