this man is mentally ill and the sooner he is relieved of his office, the better
of course bone spurs did not serve in the us military
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.”
Rick Wilson, a political strategist and co-founder of the Lincoln Project, described Mueller as a “hero” and warned Trump: “When you die, Americans, and people around the world, will dance in the streets for weeks because you’re a low, degenerate, criminal fraud who left a full stain on the presidency.”
Heath Mayo, founder of Principles First, added: “What a sick human being. A permanent disfiguring scar on the dignity of our nation.”
Democrats also weighed in to denounce Trump for spitting on Mueller’s grave.
Dan Goldman, a congressman from New York, posted that “the President of the United States disgustingly celebrates Mueller’s death simply because he exposed Trump’s efforts to steal the 2016 election. Mueller and Trump represent polar opposites of what a public servant should be.”
Adam Schiff, a senator for California, observed: “Every day, this president shows his basic indecency and unfitness for office.” Andy Kim, a senator for New Jersey, wrote: “What a small and spiteful man.”
And David Axelrod, who was a senior adviser to President Barack Obama, added: “This post from @POTUS is thoroughly despicable, totally predictable...and utterly authentic.”
Alex Vindman, a Democrat running for Senate and a military veteran, posted on social media: “Draft-dodger saying this about a Vietnam combat vet and career public servant. Despicable and disqualifying in any other decade.”
Some critics accused Trump and his supporters of hypocrisy, drawing a contrast with last year’s death of the rightwing youth activist Charlie Kirk, when anyone perceived to be celebrating was targeted online and, in at least 30 reported cases, lost their jobs.
