I love this man's sense of humor. It's truly awesome.
Here's how I see it: Trump wrote the Mueller report.
Reason 1: The "I'm fucked, my presidency is over" part.
That's exactly the kind of story about stupid buffoonery that Trump leaks about himself knowing that his opponents will eat it up and underestimate him.
His public persona is part of his negotiating philosophy built up over years.
Other examples of Trump doing this are the "Gorilla Channel" story where Trump put out a hilarious story that he sat in front of the television shouting at gorillas to fight each other, and that his aides had to stitch together documentaries for him because there is no gorilla channel.
The other one was "John Miller", where Trump pretended to be his own agent and bragged about women who wanted to sleep with Trump. Trump was the only person with a copy of the tape that was leaked because the other person on the phone had no copy of it.
This part of the report is salacious gossip and has no relation to law enforcement or criminal investigation. It was inserted to feed the delusions of idiots in the media and the opposition.
Reason 2: "He tried to obstruct justice, but his subordinates disobeyed him."
That's a reprise of the part of Bob Woodwards book where he claims that Mattis disobeyed a direct order from the POTUS because, allegedly, Trump was making unwise decisions and Mattis had to be the adult and overrule him.
That's an absurd claim. US Marines don't overrule their commanding officers. It was something that was fed to Woodward from inside the White House. Guess who tells stories that make Trump look like an unstable buffoon?
Also, "tried but failed to obstruct justice" is not a valid reason to decline to indict somebody for obstructing justice. It is not required that the attempt to obstruct justice actually succeed. The attempt itself is the crime. Every person who is prosecuted for obstruction of justice failed to obstruct it.
So that makes no sense at all. It's fiction.
