Robert Mueller died, and Trump gloated about it on Truth Social.
I have mixed emotions about both of these events.
I was never a fan of Mueller, and I have on occasion been somewhat less than charitable when hearing of some people's deaths. (And that's only going back to late 2022)
So, Trump exulting over Mueller's death is not a particularly extraordinary thing to my mind, though putting it out as a social media post while President of the United States of America does seem to be extreme, stupid, and self-destructive.
My sharing negative aspects of the recently dead to my reader(s), while not laudable, seems to be me Trump's post, which was just a happy dance, is a whole different level of cringe.
Donald Trump has been condemned as a “vile, disgusting man” and a “sick human being” after gloating over the death of Robert Mueller, a former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Mueller, a decorated Vietnam war veteran who led a politically explosive investigation into Trump, died on Friday aged 81, triggering a callous reaction from the US president.
“Robert Mueller just died,” Trump responded quickly on his Truth Social platform. “Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!”
Even by the president’s own norm-shredding standards, the comment was unusually harsh. There was a chorus of opprobrium from the “Never Trump” movement in his own Republican party.
