Trump meets Mueller: will he try to "joke" with Mueller about whether or not he'd fire him?



I'd bet money Trump will try to do the verbal version of the "alpha male" handshake and have it backfire mightily.

What do you think he will do/say to try to intimidate Mueller et al?

Alpha male handshake on a guy who is 6'8". Good luck with that. kairos12 Jan 2018 #5
Sure that's not Comey? mr_lebowski Jan 2018 #6
My error. You are correct. Thanks. kairos12 Jan 2018 #8
Comey was that tall; Mueller's a tough x-Marine, but just around six feet. hlthe2b Jan 2018 #7
My error. You are correct. As a Vet I'm equally happy with Marine Mueller! kairos12 Jan 2018 #9
Let's hope he gets arrested during this meeting. BSdetect Jan 2018 #10

If he tells the truth, he will be admitting to a crime.
If he lies, he will commit another obstruction felony, cause Mueller has the truth from everyone else he has talked to, including Sessions.

Trump will lie, he always lies. He will do it badly, of course.

The only option he has is to trade a resignation for something less than jail.
And if he does, New York state DA, Eric Schneiderman, will then charge him for money laundering.

I regret we no longer have firing squads.

I always think of they make a movie trump should be more of a side joke type character with Putin being the main figure on the bad side.

is surely the way Trump will go.
As criminal as he is... at least Trump's boneheadedness is comedy. Dark comedy.
