Uh oh. Nothing good can come from Trump holding his first news conference in 13 months.

Is he firing Mueller today?

Now, now. Cool heads, Occam’s razor, all that. It could be something relatively mild, like he’s going to shut down the government in a fit of pique.

I honestly can’t stand the sound of his voice but I look forward to reading the comments if anyone else is willing to draw the short straw on this one.

FWIW @antisachetdethe is flying today, if I’m not mistaken…

So what’s the game? We take a shot every time he says “no collusion”?

He has to try to get Stormy and McDougal off the news. So he’s going to try to make news and go for MAGA greatest hits type stuff.
