a crisis of potential civil unrest.


If they told him: "push this button, 175 million Americans will die from a virus but you will be saved from Mueller and the Russia investigation ends"

The button would be broken from how fast he pushes it and with such force.

If true, we can doubtless look forward to a year of insinuation and hardcore whataboutism, with stupid rumours being spread around on FOX to obfuscate every time Mueller has new information to reveal.

Trump is going to have the DOJ go after political enemies to create a smoke screen. And, since Mueller is tangentially connected to the Uranium One deal there will be calls for him to recuse himself.

It will have something to do with persecuting #25’s perceived “enemies.”
Firing Muller, maybe. Announcing an investigation into the DNC and Hillary Clinton, even more likely.

Whatever it is (assuming it’s an actual plan that exists in time/space), it’ll be to turn the focus away from his endless bad news. Look for whataboutism, blaming others, all the usual paranoia and bluster.

Whatever it is, just tweet it. No matter what vehicle is used, some lackey in the WH is going to have to explain what he REALLY meant anyway.
