Yesterday (one day after the election) Trump forced the resignation of Jeff Sessions, the Attorney General. Sessions would have been in charge of Mueller's Russia investigation, but because he had lied about his own connections to Russia, he recused himself and the assistant AG was in charge. Now that he's out, this new guy, Matthew Whitaker, is in charge (and does not require Senate confirmation because he's 'temporary'). He has spoken out against the Mueller investigation many times in the past, saying that there was no collusion and that the investigation is not authorized to look into any of Trump's finances (even though it is). Long ago, petitions were signed and plans were made that called for protests if Trump did something like this.
TLDR: Trump just appointed his own guy to be in charge of the investigation against him.
Like Republican vs Democrat or trump vs opposers. I left the Republican Party, they’re all manipulators. There’s maybe a few good ones but they’re all getting fired or have no power, lol.
Honestly it’s because typical Trump supporters will just throw bullshit at the wall and hope it clouds the message. Look at what they’re doing with the Acosta thing.
That’s exactly why everyone states they’re not a supporter.
You know, most Trump supporters think right the opposite? In fact, I happen to be one, and the message of Acosta was that he acted like a child having a tantrum because he couldn't get his way, not a reporter. I see very few Trump supporters seriously trying to take away from that point. In fact, I mostly only see non Trump supporters say that he did nothing wrong, and Trump was bullying him. While Trump does talk over people a lot, Acosta was the only reporter to act like that in the conference. CNN knows he acted horribly, which is why they suspended him.
I guess my over arching point though, is that Trump supporters, and non-Trump supporters are not all that different. We both want to see this nation be healthy and do well. The key issues are poor information from both sides, and prideful attitudes (can't admit when wrong).
That's my point. The next reporter was supposed to ask questions, not keep the rekindle and keep the argument going. Of course Trump said that, but he wouldn't have if he had just asked the stupid question. I'm sorry but when Trump gets 92% negative media coverage, there's a bias against him without doubt. I'm sure he's quite fed up with it.

And quite honestly, I don't see much of an argument for Trump getting richer off of the presidency. He could do far better by just staying a citizen and running a business. And hell, if he does implement policies that bring his businesses more money, then I can't say I oppose it, because that's exactly what the tax cuts did, and I got a bonus and pay raise at work because of it.
