My previous blog post wondered what Donald J. Trump’s reaction would be if Robert Mueller delivers the goods on collusion, obstruction of justice and anything else he might find wrong with the president and his 2016 campaign.<\/p>\n

My conclusion: Trump will go bonkers, nuts, ’round the bend.<\/p>\n

In fairness, what might the president do and\/or say if the special counsel comes up empty?<\/p>\n

My thoughts? I believe Trump is fully capable of climbing onto the White House roof, bullhorn in hand and bellowing “I told you so!” until his voice no longer functions.<\/p>\n

OK, I’m kidding.<\/p>\n

Sort of …<\/p>\n

Trump is incapable, in my humble view, of accepting victory like a gentleman. He doesn’t have the gene that allows him to congratulate Mueller for a job well done, and thank him sincerely for the service he has performed for the country.<\/p>\n

No sir. He won’t do that.<\/p>\n

If Mueller ends up with nothing, Trump will find a way to make something<\/em> out of it. Why, he might never shut his mouth for as long as serves in the highest office in the land.<\/p>\n

As we’ve learned already, 18 or so months into his presidency, Donald Trump cannot stop boasting about the Electoral College victory he scored over Hillary Rodham Clinton.<\/p>\n

Imagine, now, how the president well might react if Mueller and his team come up empty on The Russia Thing.<\/p>\n\n
