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.”

    What if the entire world collectively chose a moment to simultaneously make one wish, kind of like believing in fairies. But instead we all prayed for Donald Trump to shit himself, and drop dead. I bet we could will this with some simple organization.

        People who have been actively ignoring everything he’s said and done for the last decade will be weeping and wailing in the streets at this great loss to humanity.

    “Innocent people” is a weird way to spell “pedophile”, but knowing that a lot of pedophile activists are gaslighting themselves into believing that children can consent and they want it…

    Breaking news! This just in. Trump is a hypocrite.

    It’s kind of weird people keep pointing this out, like eventually the people onboard the hypocrisy are suddenly going to change their ways. They aren’t. They support trump because they wish they could get away with the shit he gets away with everyday. And they love him for it.

    An enemy of his died and he wasn’t nice about it? Like we were any better with Charlie or the healthcare CEO. xD

        Sure but Trump perceived him as an enemy and if you hate someone, then you’re not expected to be kind when they die. Trump got lucky Muller didn’t go further but being investigated is definitely not a good feeling especially when there’s a lot of dark shit to find.

      Funny we’re reading this in British media, because the Americans are entirely confined to the Cuck Chair of a corporate media desk

          Turns out bombing key geopolitical supply routes and capital stocks is not only horrifyingly immoral but bad for the economy
