The Russian collusion thing has always been odd for me. I'm not sure Trump is a Russian agent, but I am sure Russia meddled in the election. I'm also quite sure Trump has made deals with many foreign leaders, deals that go against US laws and also possibly some due to bribed offered to him or because leverage was used against him, be it someone holding compromising info about him or due to financial pressure because he's in debt.
It's clear Trump has multiple personality and mental disorders. He's a megalomaniac who craves adulation and power. He also thinks being President makes him omnipotent and he rants and raves when he's told he hasn't the power to do certain things. I think he's been like a kid in a sweet shop and just gone batshit trying to please as many people as possible, repay debts with policy favours and also line his and his families pockets as much as he can. I also think he's tried to act the big man and talked tough (like with China) just to look good and so he can use it as defence when questioned.
Another issue is how dumb and easily manipulated he is. How much damage has been caused by people putting suggestions in his head? It's also been widely reported he often thinks something and just says it because it sounds good, only to be told he can't do it. He's put many billionaires in positions they want to use for their own benefit and agenda rather than the benefit of the country or world. The stories of people just walking in and out of the White House or Trump giving info out at the Mar-A-Lago dinner table, or him using an unsecured phone... It's just terrifying.
The real damage might never be known or take years to come out, but things that are certain are Trump has had too much to hide. He's stopped visitor logs at the White House, he refuses to do press conferences, he's banned anyone from recording meetings with world leaders like Putin. People in his orbit like Kushner have private meetings with tyrants and have private WhatsApp chats.
Trump has defended dictators and tyrants yet he has argued with and disrespected and pissed off nearly every single ally the US has.
For me, the Mueller enquiry was never really about Russian collusion but more about his obvious other crimes such as witness tampering, ethics violations, emoluments crimes, nepotism, corruption and possibly even treason.
I'm hoping that enough of that has been uncovered and Mueller has just had enough of the constant witch hunt bullshit and has worked out that collusion is either to difficult to prove as Trump has covered his tracks and let others take the fall, or the fact a sitting President can't be indicted and his appointments allow Trump adequate protection so Mueller thinks the best way to get him is by passing it all over to state instead.
The biggest disappointment for me personally is 1. This is just scratching the surface, it's not even 1% of the shit he's done or the damage he's caused. And 2. Is how Trump has been allowed and continues to be allowed to break laws, make laws and lie and cheat and cause havoc without any recourse or any of his powers being inhibited.
But Obama wore a tan suit once..........
If the USA is to recover and move on from this then Trump, his family and anyone else involved all need to be put in prison and people need to be educated so this can never happen again.
