Our President is not known as a person capable of restraining his emotions. Particularly when it comes to anger and his need to lash out. Criticism, even when back up with facts and figures, is something he is unable to tolerate, one need not look any further than this reaction to the death toll in Puerto Rico see this in action. Any reasonable politician would simply state we have learned tragic lessons and pivot quickly to good news from the economy but Trump is incapable of ignoring anything he perceives as a slight. When the consequences are more than appearance his behavior becomes even more erratic. We have seen this in the Muller investigation.

Consider this the Muller investigation has been conducted while the President’s party runs interference in both houses of government. The chambers have not subpoenaed documents, forced the release of the Trump’s tax returns, or conducted any aggressive investigation of the President, his family, or the people around him. Even with this friendly terrain the President is unable to contain himself, show restraint, or refrain from disrupting his allies’ best plans with ill-advised twitter rants. Imagine if one or both Chambers fall into his opponent’s control.

The subpoenas will fly, the taxes will be exposed, the hounds will be released and what little control the people around Trump exerts will evaporate.

The left wing of the Democratic part will push for an impeach right way but that would be a major mistake. Do the work, investigate, and then under weight of evidence and transparency make the call. The site fivethrtyeight.com is predicting a 5/6 chance that the House will flip control and a 1/3 chance for the Senate. (If I am remembering correctly they gave Trump a 1/3 chance of winning and caught holly heck for It. 1/3 is unlikely but not unheard of.)

Even as I write this word is coming that Paul Manafort, the president’s one time campaign manager, is cooperating with the Muller investigation.

A storm greater than Florence is coming.
