Trump finds himself exactly where he doesnt want to be - By Eugene Robinson

[DonViejo]

President Trump now finds himself exactly where he doesn’t want to be: under investigation by a dogged, highly respected prosecutor who owes him no personal or political loyalty. And the president has only himself to blame.

Trump let off some steam Thursday morning by issuing a couple of angry statements on Twitter: “They made up a phony collusion with the Russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. Nice.” And then: “You are witnessing the single greatest WITCH HUNT in American political history - led by some very bad and conflicted people!”

Someone please take away his phone.

Not for the first time, Trump gives a false impression of what’s really going on. He pretends there has already been a finding that there was no collusion between anyone involved in his presidential campaign and the Russian attempt to meddle in our election. No such conclusion has been reached.

To the contrary: Thanks to The Post, we now know that collusion is only one of three subject areas that the FBI investigation, now led by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, is exploring.

3. Please....

do NOT take away his phone. This idiot is too stupid to understand that his tweets only endanger his presidency and provide fuel to the investigations. I want this ass-hat to go down in flames and twitter just might be the spark we need.

8. Amen

Let him have his phone.

4. Trump is like a Lemming at a rock cliff.

Trump is more fun to watch than Nixon in that Donald does not have a single "trick" in his repertoire. People have got to stop criticizing his Twitter use.

5. I usually agree with Eugene Robinson

but I am in favor of Trump saying every stupid thing he does on Twitter. He is hurting himself.

6. Vlad must be

turning the screws on Don the Con. If he is de-throned, Vlad might call in all his loans. Vlad needs a puppet, and thought he had the best one, the "useful idiot" as he called tRump. Witch hunt? The Clintons could educate this clown on what a REAL witch hunt is all about. Years of investigations, accusations, nothing found. STILL the accusations continue.

7. It doesn't matter what we think about Trump's tweeting

He's going to do it anyway, unless his lawyers threaten to quit, if he doesn't stop. He won't stop. I am perfectly willing to patiently watch his karma unfold and ripen. And ripen it will. Justice is a virtue, and there are still enough virtuous people around, e.g. Mueller, to serve the application of justice. There is a big black cloud looming over the WH, and one day BOOM!

9. Robinson said that Trump can raise his numbers if actually does anything to help average people!

I really like Eugene Robinson, and he is the first one on Morning Joe (that I can recall) to point out that Trump is doing NOTHING to benefit the average person.
