The reason Mueller is doing it now is because Trump does not get a pass for anything. If Trump turns his head to the left and sneezes the Dems scream impeach him. When everything you do is wrong, or doesn't seem wrong initially but has to be because your always wrong, then it must be investigated because well, your wrong, and annoying, and evil, etc. Mueller has been investigating Russia for how long now, and how much hard, reliable, evidence has surfaced about how Trump is surely tied to it, and how often does the media still bring it up regardless? I'm sure they would have just let it go back then, because why not right?

So Trump tried his hand at a bunch of different, totally unrelated business opportunities and failed at them? That's not be be expected? It's normal for people to be able to know and do anything they please? Where are the lists of everything everyone has tried and failed at, especially the 1%? Where is the list of things Trumps done right and succeeded at? Oh ya, I forgot, everything he does is wrong and he always fails, that's why he's still a billionaire and the President of a now booming economy. Maybe he's actually an even better politician than a businessman, and has been in the wrong game this entire time.

Based on the split in America right now, it seems pretty clear most are either with him or against him in the political sphere. Based on the info coming through the Gov itself, it's no different when it comes to the administration. If you can't find reasonable people to work with you, and every time you try to be as fair as possible and cater to the left and Dems, they go against you and bash you anyway, what other choice do you have? Pushing Trump into a corner of yes men is just as much the lefts fault as it is Trumps.

You aren't that far off my point. While a very small minority, there are some people who are good at many things, even if it's not their position, or can jump into something with little knowledge and learn quickly and adapt. These people also tend to be able to shake things up with new idea's because they think outside the box. Who says Trump isn't one of these people? I've worked with many other electricians during my career, and none of them could do everything, not even close, even the vets. On top of that, they only did things fully correct maybe 50% of the time, and the rest of was done good enough to work, but nowhere near the proper way and quality a specialized electrician would. Does this mean nobody should ever be hired for anything, or does everybody have to be completely specialized at just a few tasks? Do we need multiple Presidents? How many?

Why didn't Elon Musk just get a job with GM or Ford, etc? Why didn't Jeff Bezos just get a job with Walmart? Why didn't Steve Jobs just use a physical keypad? We all know how things  worked and there was no real reason to have anyone change them, especially so quickly, so why are these people so famous, respected, and doing so well? Minus Steve, RIP. Just because the Gov has been run a certain way for decades, doesn't mean it should stay exactly that way. Change is certainly necessary with everything, but in today's tech driven world, that change seems to come much too fast sometimes for people.

This is what I am talking about, excuses.  Its not that Trump doesn't get a pass for anything, its because of his hubris, inexperience and incompetence that he doesn't get away with anything.  Was it not Trump who went on national TV and stated he fired Comey over his investigation of him. Really, is it that hard to admit when someone makes a mistake and have them own up to it.  If the man would stop lying and making up his own facts or exaggerate everything he says just maybe it would not appear like everything he does is wrong.  Stop excusing this man for his behavior and then finding the scapegoat Dems as a means to push his what he does on them. 

Let's take an example, the Trump Tower meeting.  Before anything came out about that meeting, who was it that said they had absolutely no contact with anyone from Russia.  When it was learned that they did, who was it that said the meeting was about Adoption, who wrote the Trump Jr explanation about the meeting in the first place.  When it was learned that it was not about adoption, who lied about knowing about the meeting period.  You tell me, why should anyone ever take Trump for his word when he will continue to lie until proven lying and then lie again.  Another case in point would be the Story Daniels affair.  Who called her names and said she was lying until proof came out it was him lying.  Even when proof came out that Trump was lying about the affair and paying hush money for it, he continues to lie that he had any knowledge of the hush money even after a tape of Cohen and him talking about the Hush money.

For some reason, you are going to tell me that anyone should give Trump the benefit of the doubt on anything he says because of what?????

There are many billionaires out there that try and succeed at multiple different ventures because they do their homework.  They research the market, do not overspend and know how to run a business.  Again with the excuses.  I am suppose to be impressed that he risk his money and failed a bunch of times and this is suppose to make me confident in his ability to run the government and handle financial situations.  Anyone can just throw money at a venture and fail a bunch of times.  Also 6 bankruptcies in his own business does not give you a lot of confidence in his ability to manage.  Who in their right mind what someone who takes more risk and fail when it comes to your own money and well being.

At BOLDED:  You only have to look at all the failed business Trump has to answer your question including the 6 bankruptcies in his own ventures in real estate.  Nowhere do you see where Trump is the type of person who excels at doing multiple different ventures.  If anything the only thing Trump is good at is his own self promotion.  Looking at Trump history, I personally cannot find anything that shows he as the ability to take any business that is troubled and turn it around.  What I see from his history is that when trouble starts, he bails.  If he cannot bail he fill for bankruptcy.  Maybe you can find something that shows us your point here. 

On your last paragraph, each person you mentioned has gone through adversity with their companies and come out on top.  Can you show me an instance where Trump has gone through with any one of his ventures and come out on top or did he bail on them all.  The difference between the other people you mentioned and Trump is that they were able to turn things around and make their business a success.  

I agree with you that the government does not have to run the same way it has for centuries, I am wondering what make you believe Trump is making a change.  What has he done that move the needle to something different.  In order to change something, the person making the change must have in depth knowledge of the current system in order to innovate to something better.  I would first like to know where you believe Trump shows he has in depth knowledge of the current system first in order to move the needle to something new or different.
