Kind of a bigger version of his press conference about Obama that he turned into a commercial.I'm in no way suggesting that such is the case, it's just struck me as something that would be a a funny twist on the whole situation.
I think this hits home about people just not understanding his personality. I don't think he truly planned all this, but at the very least the democrats had to be thinking: Trump knows whether or not he is guilty, so why would he act this way if he's innocent?
Which would be a fine way to view these things if Trump was just your average politician. What's strange, and also funny, is that they were on a nigh daily basis lambasting Trump for not behaving normally...all the while looking at his behavior towards Mueller and interpreting it through a lens of guesswork at to how a normal politician would react in this situation.
There in lies the danger. For example, they could not possibly see any reason Trump would want Comey fired cuz of the russia investigation that did not involve nefarious activities. It merely did not occur to them that even the *suggestion* to the public he colluded could set Trump off, even if he knew it was bullshit. Even after we found out Comey told Trump he wasn't being investigated, but also refused to tell the public this information they *still* couldn't see any reason for his behavior other than "he be guilty yo!".
The question now is: will they continue to make these mistakes?
