Trump says he won't fire Mueller during impromptu presser outside White House

President Donald Trump bookended his weekend with a second impromptu conversation with reporters on the White House lawn on Sunday night.

In it, he said that things with the special counsel Bob Mueller’s investigation are “not looking good,” but denied he has any intention of firing Mueller, as some Democrats have warned.

“No, I’m not,” Trump said when asked if he’s contemplating terminating Mueller and thereby quashing the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

which explains a lot. His only 2 tweets today were (1) the tax giveaway to the rich (2) something about having been to Camp David and getting "important work done" and he was on his way back to the WH.

Read between the lines!

every other minute.

Not only is he a crazy fuck but he is also a pathological liar, a narcissist, and a sociopath. Who the Hell knows what he will do and when. He is dangerous.

There are already hundreds of protests planned across the country. We are ready to hit the streets at a moment's notice. People speculate that the fucking moron will fire Mueller during Christmas Recess, but who knows. I made 4 signs today since my sister, some friends and I signed up a few weeks ago when I got word from Indivisible and MoveOn. Here is a link to see if your city has an event planned, or you could start your own too.

I went to a meeting where we discussed this.

I expect some action from the people in my blue state. If I can get my 69 year old ass over there, and my husband can get his 73 year old ass over there, so can the rest of you.

Resist.
