It is often said that Donald Trump has had the same nationalistic, zero-sum worldview forever. But that isn’t exactly true. Yes, his racism and mendacity have been evident since his youth, but those who have traced the evolution of his hypernationalism all settle on one year in particular: 1987. Trump “came onto the political stage in 1987 with a full-page ad in the New York Times attacking the Japanese for relying on the United States to defend it militarily,” reported Edward Alden, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. “The president has believed for 30 years that these alliance commitments are a drain on our finite national treasure,” a White House official told the Washington Post columnist Josh Rogin. Tom Wright, another scholar who has delved into Trump’s history, reached the same conclusion. “1987 is Trump’s breakout year. There are only a couple of examples of him commenting on world politics before then.”
What changed that year? One possible explanation is that Trump published The Art of the Deal, which sped up his transformation from an aggressive, publicity-seeking New York developer to a national symbol of capitalism. But the timing for this account does not line up perfectly — the book came out on November 1, and Trump had begun opining loudly on trade and international politics two months earlier. The other important event from that year is that Trump visited Moscow.

"It was only after his trip to Moscow in 1987 that Donald Trump came back, and within a couple months, started talking about running for President for the first time ... and started bashing America's allies," says @JonathanChait https://cnn.it/2NyPi1o

Why don't we use these same tactics to get Assage?
if the guy who created the federalist society is the main one pushing this theory that the mueller appointment is unconstitutional, and the federalist society is going to hand pick trump's next appointee just like they did with gorsuch, maybe trump has the votes needed if he eventually challenges the constitutionality of the Mueller probe. i think that will be his final card to play once all of his crimes are made public, 'yeah i'm guilty but the whole process was unconstitutional'. mark levin and a few other conservative commentators have brought this option up, now the penguin has mentioned it means its on their radar. and if its on their radar, i'm sure trump is making it part of the vetting process with these judges.
So basically, whatever Mueller does probably won't matter in the long run. Even if he can prove 100% that Trump colluded and/or obstructed justice, it's a moot point because most of the Supreme Court is Trump loyalists and will just make up some reason that the probe is unconstitutional.
Situation seems completely hopeless brehs.
