Doesn’t anyone remember Trump’s catch phrase?

Robert Mueller was appointed by the Justice Department last month to investigate Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election. And on Sunday, ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked Trump attorney Jay Sekulow whether the president would pledge not to interfere or order the attorney general to fire Mueller.
“Look, the president of the United States, as we all know, is a unitary executive,” Sekulow said on ABC’s “This Week.” “But the president is going to seek the advice of his counsel and inside the government as well as outside. And I’m not going to speculate on what he will, or will not, do.”
Sekulow said he “can’t imagine” the issue would arise, but “that, again, is an issue that the president with his advisers would discuss if there was a basis.”
Most of Trump’s troubles have stemmed from his hiring and firing, the thing he was known for on his reality TV show that many of his voters apparently believed was actual reality.
Of course he’ll fire Mueller if it gets to that. Does this man have respect for the office, the constitution, the country? I don’t see any evidence that he does. He’ll fight all the way.
