    In chess, if you are trapped in a position where every move you make only worsens your chances, you are in a zugswang. Mueller has put Trump in a zugswang.

        Mueller is playing chess. Trump is playing Connect Four with Monopoly pieces.

        I’m glad I didn’t have to be the person to point this out. Was scrolling down hoping someone else had to wear the pedant crown. 😊

        How so? He has the entire Republican Party and the conservative media complex defending him.

        If you’re a mature player/person you typically resign at that point (if the situation is bad enough), but if you’re a childish player/person (like Trump) you take the move that does the most hurt to your opponent, even if it damns you in the long run.

        In this case, every move Mueller makes to box Trump in moves Trump closer to firing him.
