Donald Trump is a liar. If he says something, it is more likely to be the exact opposite in reality.
He wants to appear to his cult as honest and straight-forward and can't wait to be interviewed by Robert Mueller. After attacking Mueller for a year and obstructing his every move, now he can't wait to be interviewed and under oath. Of course, it's under oath! It's automatic when you are being interviewed by a Special Prosecutor or a Grand Jury.
So, what is the actual truth?
In my opinion, his plan is to discredit Mueller and the FBI in the next two or three weeks to the extent that no Republican can give them any credibility. They are almost there already. They have their secret memos and nobody but the Republicans in the House know what they say? It will be character attacks like none we have ever seen.
Then, Trump will fire Mueller because the FBI cannot be "trusted". He will say that he was willing to be interviewed under oath but there is no other solution to the problem but to fire Robert Mueller. That is the direction he is going, in my opinion. He will do the exact opposite of what he is saying today.

(11,885 posts)Once a con , always a con, so him saying he'll really talk to Mueller may be another scam, another con, when he says he's looking forward to it, he's lying, he's not, and scared. Watch him do more things to discredit Mueller and his team. He does the opposite of what he says, a lot. The truth is not something he can't do very long. He may fire him after making up something for an excuse.

But Donald says two or three weeks. If Mueller agrees, it makes him feel like a "winner."
There are things going on that we don't know, as Lynyrd Skynyrd might say?

(180 posts)I despise empty suit Trump. It angers me to see someone who has never been held accountable for anything (ever!) continue to get away with everything. He is a horrible, sadistic human who gets pleasure out others pain. The taunting, name calling, laziness and lies are ingrained in his pathology. I shudder to think of the cruel and hateful things he did during his childhood, teen and early adult years. His smug, entitled children are cut from the same cloth. It sickens me to know that he will most likely serve a full term and make good his promise to Putin to destroy America.
