Trump couldn't even show up for the whitehouse correspondents dinner! Hard questions from Mueller's team would give him a stroke or heart attack.

If Trump doesn't agree to an interview with the Special Counsel, the Mr. Mueller can subpoena Trump to appear before the Grand Jury. The Supreme Court has previously ruled that the president must appear under oath if subpoenaed.

Trump's lawyers know that he cannot survive this interview. From what I've read and heard, however, Trump's options are very limited.

What an amazing and frightening history we are living through.
