Mueller's depictions will fuel Trump angst

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Special counsel Robert Mueller painted a damning picture of the Trump administration, even as he handed the president a victory on the central issue of collusion with Russia.

The Trump White House, as portrayed by Mueller, revolves around an impulsive and angry president who issues orders that underlings often defy, ignore or seek to delay.

The depiction will enrage a president who fixates on the concept of strength and is hypersensitive about any suggestion that he is not in absolute control of his administration.

“He will be livid to see this spelled out — and it is not clear that he is always aware when his advisers are doing this,” said Julian Zelizer, a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University. “For someone who is already a little bit paranoid about institutional opponents, it will create even more of a sense of distrust within the White House.”

Can one be both strong and hypersensitive? Sounds contradictory to me.

1. ' . . . will fuel Trump angst' - to say the least!

2. The report didn't "hand...the president a victory on the central issue of collusion with Russia"

On the contrary, the Mueller Report doesn't use the word "collude" at all except to point out that it means nothing to the investigation in legal terms. Trump's team did, in fact, collude. What they weren't shown to have done is "conspire" or "coordinate."

Dems need to make the point over and over that the Mueller Report doesn't say anything about exonerating Trump for collusion. We can't play Trump's little game with that word. "Collusion" is our word now. Trump did it. He needs to have that fact shoved down his throat.

They really can't help themselves.
