“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

      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.

      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.

        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.

      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.

      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.

      What do you think will happen when the hamberder finally wins? Will ICE come after everyone who celebrates? Will the Laura Loomers of the world report people to their bosses?

      I think (hope) the celebration will be so huge it will shut these losers up. Bullies are always cowards and never stick their neck out. If they don’t have a bigger bully protecting them, they’ll be silent.

        I think there will be celebration in the streets when that bloated frog kicks it. I’m quite sure some people are saving fireworks and bottles of their favorite booze to celebrate.

        Watching the butthurt man-babies and the Karens crying about it going to be like manna from heaven. They seem to have no idea just how many people despise their golden turd.

          I agree — they don’t know how unpopular he is. Even fans of Obama don’t make it their whole personality and wear his face on their clothes.

            Exactly right. It’s amusing how many of these asshats expect the critics of their diaper king to behave just as they do, but for the other side. When most of us just…don’t.

            I voted for Kamala and Biden and Obama, but I ain’t even putting a sign in my yard for them. Never mind wearing fucking shirts/hats and flying flags and plastering stupid stickers all over my car for them, FFS. Because I’m a fucking citizen and not a goddamned cult member.

            They have no idea how most Americans view them.

              I mean, I had a “cats for Kamala” shirt that I donated unworn.

              Gaming it out in my head, when tangerine Mussolini kicks the bucket, and the world celebrates, and the realization that people don’t just dislike him because he was on the other team but truly despised him and what he stood for, and that their cult leader is dead and no one else is going to defend his memory…

              The MAGA reaction is going to be violent.

      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.

      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.

          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.

            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.

    When you die, there will be dancing in the streets and fireworks going off all over the world, motherfucker.
