IMHO Trump is gambling for a big distraction

It is being relieved that the day the Trans ban tweet and the call for acting FBI director to be fired Manifort's home was raided. I'm thinking Trump has an idea of how close Mueller is.

If he can goat Un to the brink or even into a war all the better for him.

The more I watch this unfold the more I am thinking those 2 "private" meeting with Putin was more like a mob boss telling the Godfather he failed and that The Godfather will not extend anymore protection.

We have Trump against the wall and unfortunately he has a HUGE stock pile of weapons and he is CRAZY enough to use them.


I hope 2 things. 1) Mueller investigation wraps soon. 2) There are enough GOP members who are not beholden to Russian money that they actually start acting like Americans and want to teach Russia NOT to hack or Buy our elections.

Trump is a reckless gambler no doubt. I don't see the investigation wrapping up any time soon unfortunately. Investigations take a long time. There are investigations by Mueller and Schneiderman going on but these are going to be drawn out. There is so much work involved.
