What is the general impression of Trump's demeanor lately? Mrs. Atticus has concern

that, when asked about the impending Mueller report, he seems "too calm and almost confident". I have learned not to ignore her "spidey sense".

Is "something up"?

With the election a scant 19 months away...why are the Republicans in genera,l and MF45 specifically, not more worried?
Why are they NOT worried?... keeps me up at night.

That the investigation be shut down very soon. They planted it in the press.

The Special Counsel, thru a "senior official" at DOJ shot that theory down yesterday.

Trump is putting the pressure on William Barr, it appears?

and Trump doesn’t have enough imagination to visualize what isn’t already in his head. Cognitive dissonance. Cement brained. Innability to perform mental mathematics.

If he can ignore our intelligence agencies he can certainly ignore anything he damn well feels like ignoring. It’s always worked or him before.

The Red Wave in 2018.
The biggest Inauguration, ever.
He could run a University.
He could run a casino.
He has had an approval rating above 50%.
North Korea wasn't going to pull a Lucy on him.
Walls work.
Obama was born in Kenya.


and, yet... He walks among us as a free man.

The most terrifying part of Old Yeller is I'm beginning to believe he's not an aberration, but, a typical representative of his class. Especially, true after the Kraft revelation.

Although I don't know if he is that way because he knows for sure that the fix is in or because he is too stupid to realize how much trouble he is in and is being badly advised.
