Jeebus take the wheel.
$130,000 is really only 3.42 Trumpchi.
Mere Trump change considering that 45*’s desperation has now reached that moment where he’ll appeal for public support from the farmers who voted for him and who now will lose money in a trade war.
Have fun storming the castle.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders says that President Trump believes he has the power to fire Mueller
But what we've learned about the research and conclusions the White House has drawn about Trump's ability to fire Mueller feels as though this is all picking up speed. And quickly.

We will likely hear more about the DNC hack, distribution of that material and targeting of voters. As I wrote last year, the data company Cambridge Analytica and Wikileaks will be at the heart of it. Obstruction of justice, with regards to Trump sacking FBI chief James Comey, is reportedly still on Mueller's radar.
Without being able to sack or neuter Mueller, it's hard to see how Trump can avoid constant, ongoing damage. Can he realistically avoid an interview with Mueller now, as his lawyers want? Or continue to dodge imposing sanctions on Russia - as demanded by Congress, or even plan security measures to protect November's elections?
Indeed, another reason why betting sentiment is shifting is that punters are becoming immune to the madness - or at least have decided that US voters and lawmakers are. To some extent, that is persuasive. Trump's personal life, racism or sexism never hurts with his base. A sex or political scandal won't bring him down. Mueller, however, is a threat of a completely different order.
