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.
Michael Steele, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee, wrote on X: “@realDonaldTrump you are a vile disgusting man. Petty and pathetic, you are a hypocrite who reeks of weakness and insecurities with no moral core. Regardless of the politics, the American people should be embarrassed and ashamed for ever having entrusted you with leadership.”
This just in: Child rapist is a shitty person.
But how about that Dow guys, why aren’t we paying attention to what really matters?
Bomb falling sound
Sorry I can’t hear you over all the munitions they’re suddenly dropping on various countries we weren’t at war with. I think they asked how is the Dow???
Turns out bombing key geopolitical supply routes and capital stocks is not only horrifyingly immoral but bad for the economy
But horrifyingly immoral usually boosts The Economy ™!! There’s just no way they could have seen this one coming. :( :( :( /s
