Back in the day, DU consistently offered discussions of a caliber that elicited thought-provoking replies. I can't put into words how much I learned from so many of the posters back then. Thank you for your contributions.....then and now.

After reading your Twisting in the Wind, I wondered what role Trump's disturbing psychological detachment might play in Mueller's investigation. What will happen when Mueller's (potential) questions to Trump create a request for answers with no escape route? What will happen when Mueller forces Trump out of his Fox-News, Speak-To-His-Base-Only world? There will be no paper towel rolls to throw, no disabled reporter to mock, no soldiers as props, no "My Generals" to bail him out. Just a man of integrity sizing up a soulless bully.
