The simple takeaway from the Mueller Report is the President betrayed his country and spent two years lying and breaking the law to try to hide that fact. He should resign and be tried for his crimes.

There are a lot of islands in the Pacific that have abandoned World War II airstrips on them. One of them would be perfect as a place to house the Trumps. We can airdrop crates of canned goods, and they can fish for supplemental protein.
