Robert Mueller looks like they took him off Mount Rushmore.
Donald Trump looks like they took him off a Pillsbury Doughboy ad.
In his recent press conference, Mueller took some of the puff out of Trump. In less than ten minutes, he stirred true terror in the wizened and blackened heart that lies beneath the red tie.
Anybody who has been half paying attention can see that when the smoke clears, Trump cares about nobody and nothing but Trump – not America, not the Constitution he has sworn to protect and uphold, not the people of America (except his base, whom he cares about only out of warped political expedience), and the rest of the world except for a fanboy attachment to the ugliest and cruelest men on the planet. And he only cares about these maniacs if they pretend to like and admire him. The rest of the world has seen how they jerk him off and he thinks it's honeymoon lovemaking. He even kisses the lilac love letters from Kimie-poo.
Trump does indeed care about how posterity will judge him, like any narcissist in good standing should. And not only did Robert Mueller throw subtle shade all over Trump, he raised the specter to Trump of the dreaded asterisks that could appear in the history books along side his name and mug.
First, Mueller flat out said that the Russians meddled in our election, and Trump got so flustered that he actually tweeted that Russia helped him get elected and then came to his senses or somebody pointed the gaffe out and twenty minutes later it was gone. But the damage was done: the first asterisk would say “Elected by Russian interference“ and Trump's Presidential legitimacy would be forever in doubt. To someone with the ego of Donald Trump, this is nigh onto inconceivable. Conceive, baby.
The Mueller Report is a blueprint for impeachment, among other things, and if it should come to pass and even if Trump could never be convicted by a Republican Senate, that second asterisk goes into the history books. As they say in South Philly, Trump skieves the whole idea of impeachment as applied to him and called the very word “dirty, filthy, and disgusting.” And he's a guy who knows from dirty, filthy, and disgusting. It's on his coat of arms rampant.
With Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton, the impeachment was mostly bullshit, but a Trump model would turn over a lot of rocks because this administration has as many rocks as the Grand Canyon.
Nancy Pelosi, bless her, thinks that Trump wants to get impeached so he can play the sympathy card after he's acquitted in the 2020 Presidential election. I'm not sure that really matters. Trump's base is there forever, just like those rocks. An impeachment trial and what it would disclose could change some undecided minds and put some light on even more things that Trump wants to keep in the dark.
And if Robert Mueller should actually testify before Congress or at any impeachment trial, the asterisks will be set in stone.
