The entire New York Times interview made zero sense. First, the fact that he did the interview with them demonstrates how much he values the NYT. His continuous claim of "Fake News" is so blatantly a dog whistle for his followers to ignore what they are hearing yet he still values them enough to grant them an in depth interview.
Then to go on and throw shade at Session, Mueller and others was idiotic. Clearly he knew Mueller was looking into his family finances but threatening him so publicly can't help your position. Maybe that too was a dog whistle to the Trumpsters to publicly decry an aspect that should be part of the investigation.
Calling my shot...Trump will eventually fire Mueller too. At the heat starts to increase, he'll can him too claiming "witch hunt" forcing Congress to act. It's at that point bash/love approach to McConnell/Ryan will come back to bite him.
