Trump is begging to be impeached.
If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so. Mueller said that on a Wednesday.
On Thursday morning, Trump raged, providing an incoherent rant during which he called an American destroyer a "boat" and said that the courts would not allow impeachment. Nearly every sentence was a lie. Trump unleashes fury on Mueller, again disputes US intelligence findings on Russia - CNNPolitics
On Thursday night, Trump, as is his custom, decided to change the subject. To divert attention away from a damaging controversy, he created a more damaging controversy.
Before explaining, some background of previous events.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average posted its fifth consecutive weekly decline, its longest since 2011.
The Dow is down 1,000 points since Trump announced his 25% tariff on Chinese goods and threatened a 25% tariff on another 325 billion more.
Sandy Shanks said: ↑
"We're not ready to make a deal," Trump said, referring to the trade war he started with China.
The Dow lost 238 points.

The Dow is down another 260 points today.

The Dow is down about 1500 points since that fateful tweet, announcing his tariffs on Chinese goods. Millions of Americans have lost millions of dollars in retirement savings. Farmers are being seriously hurt, and Trump wants to bail them out with another $16B on top of the $12B they have already received. Huge retailers like Walmart and Costco are raising prices because of the tariffs.
Market analysts are concerned about inflation. Inflation causes less demand, causing less employment, which causes recession.

"Mr. President, you are doing a terrific job," Vladimir Putin, Russian president.
So, what does Trump do? On Thursday he threatened more tariffs, of course, this time on Mexico. He threatened to punish Mexico with tariffs until it restrains the flow of migrants across the southwestern border.
Only Trump can explain the relationship between our immigration woes and tariffs/trade.
Come to think of it, no, I don't think he can. He just wanted to change the subject, and, in doing so, threatened his signature trade deal, the USMCA.
The Dow lost another 355 points. Americans lost more of their retirement savings while paying higher prices at the market while bailing out farmers again to the tune of $16B on top of the $12B they have already received.
Some Trump Republicans have made the obligatory criticism of Trump's incredibly ill fated announcement but they will do nothing to rein in the out-of-control President.
Putting this in perspective, currently, there are about 100,000 to 105,000 impoverished people making illegal border crossings a month. Most Americans could care less. Illegal immigration ranks ninth in the concerns Americans have, mostly Trump fans, I wager. It is a hot button issue for them.
To solve this problem our President wants to penalize 327 million people living in the U.S. and another 130 million people living in Mexico along with every auto manufacturer and every major retail outfit like Walmart and Costco.
Only a President yearning for impeachment would do the things Trump has done in a single week.
That would be the worst mistake Democrats could make. The idea is to remove Trump from the White House. As matters stand now, the Trump Republican held Senate will vindicate him, not remove him.
If Democrats need more motivation to avoid a failed attempt to remove Trump, picture Trump as a martyr, a sympathetic victim of Democratic overreach, and add another four years to Trump's longevity in the Oval Office.
