That's what the story is suggesting. If you go to CNN's webpage, they've pretty much dispensed with reporting on the facts, and their headlines on this subject all say "Analysis". Which is a fancy journalism term for "spin"
The idea of firing Meuller was batted about by alot of people. The conflicts have been highlighted by all sorts of pundits. It was a major talking point in national political discourse and still is.
So why is it so unfathomable that Trump considered it, and talked about it with his advisers?
And ultimately, he acted measured and reasonable. So what's the problem?
Firing Mueller was an idea for people who wanted an excuse to hinder the investigation without it looking like Nixon all over again. After about 2 milliseconds, when they figured out that wasn't possible because of optics alone (all except the very stable genius), the idea went out the window. The fact that the very stable genius was even considering it after those 2 milliseconds expired is either another example of 3D chess or another example of him being an idiot, depending on how you see things.
