Trump fired his way to fame on TV, but shrinks from it in real life by writerknowles
For 14 seasons, Donald Trump basked in his role as the unitary executive host of “The Apprentice,” wielding the reality show’s signature catchphrase — “You’re fired!” — with moral clarity and undisputed power.
As has been incorrectly reported by the Fake News Media, I never told then White House Counsel Don McGahn to fire Robert Mueller, even though I had the legal right to do so. If I wanted to fire Mueller, I didn’t need McGahn to do it, I could have done it myself. Nevertheless,.... — Donald J. Trump April 25, 2019 Trump’s commentary comes, of course, in response to the release of Robert Mueller’s redacted report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and the president’s efforts to keep it covered up. Specifically, Don McGahn, the former White House counsel, testified under oath to Mueller that Trump had called him on two occasions and “directed him to call” Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to have Mueller “removed.
If, as Trump stated in Thursday’s tweets, believed he had the “legal right” to fire Mueller, why didn’t he? Why let his investigation continue to ruin the lives of his underlings? Furthermore, if the “end result was No Collusion, No Obstruction,” why is Trump trying to prevent McGahn from testifying before Congress?
Days later, however, Trump reversed himself and admitted that “this Russia thing” was the real reason for Comey’s dismissal. “How could you let this happen, Jeff?” Trump demanded, according to the Mueller report. “You were supposed to protect me.”As Attorney General William Barr noted in releasing Mueller’s redacted report, Trump “was frustrated and angered by a sincere belief that the investigation was undermining his presidency.
