The weasel in winter

Apparently, The Donald finally understands that a majority of the country regards him with uninhibited loathing, and there is no stopping Mueller.

For weeks this fall, an ebullient President Trump traveled relentlessly to hold raise-the-rafters campaign rallies — sometimes three a day — in states where his presence was likely to help Republicans on the ballot.

But his mood apparently has changed as he has taken measure of the electoral backlash that voters delivered Nov. 6. With the certainty that the incoming Democratic House majority will go after his tax returns and investigate his actions, and the likelihood of additional indictments by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, Trump has retreated into a cocoon of bitterness and resentment, according to multiple administration sources.

The implication is that Trump is so stupid he actually thought he would get away with his depredations against the presidency and the country, that his cult of deluded hero-worshippers could protect him from reaiity.

No. As I said shortly after election day, the election was Trump’s high-tide — as good as it would ever be for him.
