As a political matter, Trump would be better off if following the Bill Clinton model: Focus on presidential duties & outsource pushback on Mueller, etc, to a team of political operatives. (Dems picked up seats in '98 midterm.)
Clinton's one child was, at the time, an actual minor child, except toward the end, when she was a college student. So that's not an apt comparison.

"Trump should stay detached, like Clinton" was not an apt comparison. Bill didn't have all his communications with his lawyer stolen

I think it's an apt comparison. I think Trump would be more effective making his case to more people & retaining the support of more voters if he wasn't his primary spokesman.

Lol so he should do the opposite of everything that has worked for him his whole life
-
Yes. Sometimes you make tactical adjustments. Even Trump has done that in his life. Started as a real estate developer, realized he could make money selling the "Trump" brand and then went into reality TV.
-
He's still a real estate developer. He did Trump DC in 2016
-
I know but he's not ONLY a real estate developer. My point is that Trump has shown flexibility in how he earned a living, adding other jobs, revenue streams. He could do same w/ communications to account for his current position of employment.
-
He didn't get tariff concessions from China or summit with North Korea by allowing others to speak for him
-
That was in the service of his job as president. In those cases, he should speak for himself. I'm arguing this case because it's outside his job as president.
