Our regular examination of Donald Trump's weekend tweeting habits has taken a bit of a dark turn. It seems evident now that, at whatever moment Trump is sure that Robert Mueller's investigation has gotten the goods on him, he fully intends to fire Mueller and dare the rest of the nation to make something of it. Donald Trump is not a complex man. He is obsessed with only two things: self-adulation, and self-preservation.

The reason for Trump's alarm is evident. Federal investigators would not be taking the dramatic step of subpoenaing documents from the private company of a sitting president unless they had strong suspicions of what they would find; it may even be likely that investigators have knowledge of key events or documents, and that the subpoena is yet another opportunity for the team to ensnare anyone in Trump's circle stupid enough to attempt to hide them. And it's becoming increasingly clear that Mueller's investigation is closing in on the actions of Donald Trump's core team; not just Manafort, Flynn, and Papadopoulos, but Sessions, Don Jr., and Trump himself. So yes, the man is coming apart at the seams. Read more
