“Good, I’m glad he’s dead,” Trump said.

Donald Trump reacted to the death of former FBI Director and Special Counsel Robert Mueller with a celebratory post on Truth Social minutes after news broke on Saturday.

“Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social at 1:26 p.m. EDT, signing the message, “President DONALD J. TRUMP.”

Mueller, who died at 81, led the Justice Department’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and examined ties between Trump’s campaign and Moscow.

    Remember just a bit ago where they were so horrified and clutching their pearls about anyone saying they were glad Charlie Kirk was dead

      That only applies to the very worst of people. For Republicans that are not sufficiently loyal like Mueller, they can celebrate. Expecting them to have any moral clarity is asking a lot of these assholes.

      Deep breath. I wonder if I can say this without the room thinking I’m defending Charlie Kirk… Hm. I’ll give it a shot.

      Objectively, I think it’s wrong to celebrate death. I tell my kids that we don’t cheer when someone dies. Even when Trump goes, much as we hate him, we’ll just quietly turn the page. Isn’t there some saying about how you don’t really believe in a principle unless you’re willing to apply to to your worst enemy? Well, so yeah, I will not cheer when Trump dies, though I may moan every day that he’s alive.

      Having said this, I would indeed add an extra layer of revulsion for cheering an assassination. In addition to the simple fact that it’s a death, it’s also violence.

      So while I appreciate the spirit of this, it’s not a perfect equivalency.

        Fuck that! When Trump dies, I’ll open up champagne… one less nazi in the world

        Going high when they keep going as low as humanly possible gets real tiring…

        I get what you’re saying, I just don’t feel the same way. Trump has done a lot of damage to the world, to political discourse, to the US’ standing in the rest of the world. His death will be a net positive for the global society, and I will treat it as such. With champagne.

          Fuck that!

          I’m happy to disagree respectfully on this and not judge you. I can certainly understand where you’re coming from. I’m also very willing to go low and actually fight back - I agree the Obama way is partly how we got here. I just personally don’t see much to gain on this particular thing, and definitely feel I have something to lose.

      It really is amazing. Mueller thought he was protecting our institutions. Instead he got to see his vacuous, largely fake, idealism go up in flames. And now tweet in chief mocks him in his grave.

      My thoughts too. But then I remember how he lived in suspense of the Mueller report for a long long time, railing against it daily as a witch hunt. So the fact that Mueller’s investigation ultimately fizzled didn’t endear Mueller to Trump. It just validated his hate for Mueller.

        We’ll be lining up and buying tickets

        And then we’ll be jumping up and down on your grave

        Of course he’ll be selling tickets for that. He’ll be boasting in Hell about how much money he’s making, even while he’s dead.

        I don’t care. I hope they have a special ticket to piss on his grave. I’ll spring for that.

          Fun and completely unsurprising fact: this is already the case with Ronald Reagan. He’s buried at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, which charges admission.

          These people never stop grifting, even in death.

      It’s been really weird coming to terms with th3 fact that I actively want him to die. I’ve never hoped for anyone’s death ever. It’s s a weird, scary feeling that I hope dies with him.

      Soon.

      Why not? I hope someone shoots his dick off and he dies a horrific death. Everyone claims they would go back in time and kill baby hitler. An innocent little baby, but o gully gee whiz, i don’t wish harm on modern hitler who is also a rapist.

      I am. I hope it hurts, a lot. Not just physically, but also that whatever emotions he’s capable of are all steered towards deep feelings of being a stupid little bitch for nothing.

      You need to be angrier. You don’t need to be the one to do it, but on the internet where you can say whatever you want I do not understand why anyone would choose to be worried about appearing too mean for hating one of the worst people on planet.

        Brother, not everyone allows the negativity to fester into a mirror image of itself.

        Anger needn’t be violent.

          What a wonderfully privileged life you must lead. You do know that he and his party have caused the mass suffering of untold millions and much of it simply for the sake of cruelty so that they can make “others” for their rabid voter base to hate on? The damage he and the conservatives across the globe have done just for the sake of getting slightly more power than yesterday so they never need to worry about the humanity of the people they hurt is immense in a way could never be calculated.

          If you don’t wish at least just Trump a miserable death then you don’t stand for fuck-all of anything.

            If I don’t want someone to be miserable I don’t stand for anything?

            Damn dude. Your world view sucks.

            That’s the kind of worldview I’d expect Trump or any brainwashed MAGA loser to hold.

            Yeah, no. That sucks, dude. I guess I don’t stand for fuck-all of anything 🤷‍♂️. Have fun being mad and dreaming of violence or whatever.

      I had occasion to drink the last celebratory bottle of wine and we just got a new one. Thank Toothy’s god (i really hope they worship Dionysis. Or Diogenes) we got it just in time.
