A lot of "honest" real estate developers would be concerned with the feds doing a deep dive into their business practices. I can't imagine what they will find when they look into Trump's. It really took some onions to run for president with his background and invite that kind of scrutiny. This might ensnare his entire family and Kushner's too.

Anybody would crack.

Unfortunately, Trump's very bad day will be bolstered by the latest Rasmussen poll. Doodley Jun 2017 #3

his reputation, his career, his fortunes, his freedom -- those are all in doubt.

but i don't see any signs of his personality disintegrating.

so he's flailing and throwing a tantrum when things don't go his way; i'm pretty sure he's always done that.

It seems obvious that he's in up to his eyeballs in debt to the Russians, and Putin probably does have some video of him with prostitutes or something equivalent. Much like the reason he is so mad at Sessions. Trump thinks that Sessions would protect him from investigation and prosecution, and by recusing himself he stabbed Trump in the back-or at least in Trump's mind he did.

The Schneiderman investigation might be the worst part of this for Trump. Since he is a NY State official, Trump can't fire him, and that's the one digging directly into Trump's business dealings, including money laundering by his NJ casinos. I believe Mueller has contacted Schneiderman to coordinate their efforts.

The ring is closing in on Trump.
