Even if he is not genuinely entertaining this idea and it's just a statement for publicity, he's probably still dumb enough to think he can win in an interview:

As he left the White House en route to Davos, Switzerland, Trump spoke to reporters, and said that according to his lawyers, he expected to talk to Mueller's team in two or three weeks, according to NBC News' Kristen Welker.

"I would love to do it, and I would like to do it as soon as possible," Trump said. "I would do it under oath, absolutely."

First lady Melania Trump, in a change of plans, will not be joining President Donald Trump on his trip to the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, later this week.

Melania Trump has not made a public statement since January 12, when news of a possible payoff from her husband's lawyer to porn star Stormy Daniels to cover up an alleged affair was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
The first lady did, however, depart with the President later that day to Mar-a-Lago for the long holiday weekend, although she was not spotted with him during two evening dinners hosted by Trump, one with former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and another with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy.

This is excellent - I'd highly recommend everyone take a listen. It talks about him from childhood until he ran for President and shows you exactly why and how he turned into the person he did. I am from the NYC suburbs, so Trump has always been a bafoon to me - but there was stuff in there I didn't know about it. Really good stuff.

In my experience... it really hasn't. If anything it seems they really find it more heartening if they view it under that lens as a positive example (that they later intend to annihilate.) "As long as we manage to say we just want to be like israel without mentioning we also want to destroy israel, we have a clear path to success!" (They never manage to not mention they also want to destroy israel.)

Mueller Almost Done With Obstruction Part of Trump Probe, Sources Say

Special Counsel Robert Mueller is moving at a far faster pace than previously known and appears to be wrapping up at least one key part of his investigation -- whether President Donald Trump obstructed justice, according to current and former U.S. officials.

Mueller has quietly moved closer to those around Trump by interviewing Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, National Security Agency Director Michael Rogers, Attorney General Jeff Sessions and former FBI Director James Comey in recent weeks, officials said. His team has also interviewed CIA Director Mike Pompeo, NBC News reported.

Those high-level officials all have some degree of knowledge about events surrounding Trump’s decisions to fire Comey and Michael Flynn, his first national security adviser.

“Clearly the names that are coming out now indicate that we’re into the obstruction of justice side of it,” said Stanley Twardy, a former U.S. attorney for Connecticut who’s now a white-collar criminal defense lawyer at the law firm Day Pitney LLP. “He’s now getting people who are closest to the president, closest to the issues.”

‘Looking Forward’
Next, Mueller is expected to schedule an interview with Trump in coming weeks to discuss those events, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Also while I'm here, am I understanding this Nunes "memo" craze this month to be as follows?

1. Senate Republicans try to con the populace into thinking they've got a document that exonerates Trump
2. They craft a document that contains some classified intel so they intentionally can't release it outside of congress
3. They get on the media and bemoan that they aren't allowed to release this document but that you should go ahead and declare Trump innocent anyway
4. The fringe groups who are not in on it start to loudly demand it to be released
5. Right wing groups build up hype for the whole month about the memo, and every idiot on Facebook goes all in on declaring victory over their left wing friends
6. Trump, the greatest most successful con artist in the world, fucks it all up by falling for it himself, hearing the demands to release it on Fox and Friends
7. He obliges, illegally spilling the classified intel himself
8. The memo reveals itself to be a poorly constructed wet fart that was never meant to see the light of day
9. The classified intel in it actually hurts Trump's case by showing that FISA wiretaps were each made after his campaign was over and before the Steele dossier
10. Everyone who posted about it is left holding a deflated hype balloon while the GOP leadership shits their pants

Or what?

If so can anyone find screengrabs of posts from disappointed memo believers because that sounds fuckin rad
