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.”
It is gonna take a revolution to overthrow Trump, not that I support such a thing. Seriously!
It’s not just him, he just seized control of it, it’s the party. It doesn’t end with him.
Yet it somehow started with him. Almost like he was an important factor.
Not at all. This is 50 plus years in the making.
The party has been awful for a long time, and I’m certain plans for this have been in motion for a long time, but this state of affairs started with Trump as their mascot. What’s happening now is a whole new level of fucked, and I don’t see these chuckleheads holding onto it, and not just killing each other without that orange clown. But they’re entrenched now, so maybe I’m wrong.
On the contrary my friend, those of us following this, have known about these intentions for decades. Me since the 90’s, and many much much prior, which are the ones i learned it from. The president just seized control of it, seeing the dumbassery as it was.
This doesn’t end with this president.
Hey Donald… Tick Tock
Shitty person is shitty. Well, colour me surprised.
“opprobrium”… an element in the periodic table? Right next to copium I suppose?
Day by day, word by word, action by action, confirms that he is the bloated corrupt personification of everything that is wrong with us.
Raise your hand if this is in any way surprising to you.
Any hands? No?
What a pathetic loser
The Christians love this
He doesn’t even realize that the day he dies, his own tweet from today will be reshared millions of times. People cannot wait for this son of a bitch to die.
He doesn’t care about legacy. A perfect hedonistic nihilist.
He cares very much about his legacy. That’s part of why he’s trying to get his name on a bunch of stuff, build out monuments, and host celebrations. However, he thinks he’s more popular than he actually is, and doesn’t understand how anyone could not like him which leads to him thinking the legacy he is trying to manufacture is genuine and going to last.
I believe that his name on things is a plan to collect royalty payments.
His name on his towers and resorts, yeah. I was more referring to renaming the “John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts” or the creation of the Trump Gold Card, F-47, Trump Class battleship, Trump Institute for Peace, Trump Ballroom, Arc de Trump, or the renaming of various roads and an airport (attempted: ongoing).
That’s a random theory. It seems clear to me that every action trump takes, he does so with people talking about him in mind and he revels in it whether they are saying good or bad things about him.
I agree, but would also add that he seems to enjoy the infamy that his haters have afforded him
does he not understand that if he can rename them after himself, someone else can rename them again just as easily?
He may realize he’s putting so many horrible things in motion that the naming issue probably won’t be seen as the highest priority
Edit: lol what a weird thing to downvote
People cannot wait for this son of a bitch to die.
True. Some are not waiting.
Who’s this?
OLD GREGG
Allegedly
This story is bs, kirk was not shot by a 30.06 or however you write thirty ought six in numbers. It’s a high powered rifle, that would have left a fist sized exit wound out of his neck. That gun, at that distance, would have made a very different wound.
He did not dissassemble the weapon in 1 minute into that tiny little pack and flee the roof, and the sheriff brought gun sniffing dogs right by that chicken coop and didn’t hit anything, until the FBI showed up, took control, and found it right off, fully assembled.
The story is bs, and lemmy moderators are sometimes in on covering it up strangely.
Terminal ballistics is basically chaos theory at work. Rifle rounds aren’t packed with explosives, they can leave relatively clean exits regardless of how much ass they have behind them. The round might have only traveled through a few inches of flesh which isn’t really enough to destabilize a round like that.
The going theory, one they have on video, mind, is that he stuffed the rifle down his pants while he scrambled off the roof, no disassembly. He hobbled to the treeline and disposed of it.
This is “the Las Vegas shooting was done by multiple CIA operatives with belt-fed machine guns to force a gun ban” levels of analysis. There’s a plausible explanation, but it’s more convenient for some people’s political biases to believe in a conspiracy.
We have seen the video, he didn’t have a rifle down his pants, come now. Link this video and argue that please if you think that.
The gun enthusiasts also used weaker and older rounds from the world wars era just to defeat these issues you mention, and they still made a different wound.
Why are you defending an obviously false narrative?
Love it.
Don’t believe it. But love it. keep going!
Bro, or sis, it’s absolutely true. A 30 ought six can shoot through a half inch of steel at that range. This has been demonstrated by the gun enthusiasts online. They shot all manner of objects, chunks of beef, steel plate, you name it, to demonstrate.
These rifles kill moose, elk, bear, from a distance. They have a serious foot per second to them. Like military rifles, but with a bigger caliber.
As with the other points. It’s true, the story is bs. It’s undeniably true.
I’ve shoot dozens of deer with a 30.06, and they also don’t explode if you hit them in the neck. The round will pass through something that soft at that range without expanding or tumbling, retaining most of its energy instead of transferring it to the target - especially if you’re using an FMJ or match round that’s not designed to expand.
It’s actually one of the reasons it’s kinda fallen out of style for hunting. Despite its muzzle energy, it’s not a particularly precise or effective as a hunting round versus a more modern cartridge. Something like a 6.5 Creedmoor will use less powder to shoot a smaller projectile more precisely and transfer more energy to the target.
The gun enthusiasts beg to differ, and have videos to prove it. There are always people to defend the establishment online, and they aren’t always sincere. I am referring to you.
Dude - I am a gun enthusiast. I have over 50 of them.
I have 3 different 30.06 rifles (Remington 700, Springfield M1903, and M1 Garand). I’ve killed animals with 30.06, 6.5 Creedmoor, .308, 44 mag, 7.62.54R, .270, .223, 9mm, .357 magnum, 10mm, 12-gauge, 20-gauge, .22 rimfire, and more. I know a thing or 2 about this shit.
Maybe it was just a crazy kid with a gun. Maybe not go all molten steel beams on this one.
Maybe you are denying reality because parts of the right wing are pushing reality for a change on this one.
Maybe you have decided what you believe already and refuse to hear any other side of it and will never change your mind no matter what.
You seem very sure.
The guy who resigned claimed that FBI blocked investigation into that assassination:
It will be bittersweet in that, we’ll all wish he was still around just long enough to see the feativities.
“Trump does some bullshit, many people upset, he remains unimpeached.” Just another day ending in -y.
Impeachment without consequence is jut a footnote for the history books. He’s got two asterisks to his name, he’s still President. That’s the problem.
The day Trump dies, I’m celebrating. I plan to treat it like a national holiday every year…with fireworks if I can help it.
Every morning, I open lemme with hopes to see some of those assholes dead. Every fucking morning, since the start of the invasion of Ukraine.
JD Vance would be celebrating, too!
Ice cream and strippers.
Where are all the “respect Charlie Kirk” people at?
Speaking of charlie kirk, he was killed by israel.
They are saying Trump restrained himself and could’ve been harsher.
To this day I don’t know how these people can seriously look at themselves in the mirror and not see the hypocrisy and irony of their life. Like, deep down, somewhere under the blackened heart of bigotry and ignorance and vile putrid that represents their view of their fellow man; they know they’re actually a piece of shit and the bad guys, right?
They’re no hypocrisy in white supremacy. “Us good, them bad” is reprehensible, but consistent.
They were pointing out specifically the fact that the people who would defend trump on this were adamant that any negative comment about that piece of shit CK was horrifically disrespectful.
As if this was a novel thing… He did the same thing when Rob Reiner was murdered.
The orange pedo is an absolute psychopath and he doesn’t even try to hide it anymore - probably the disinhibition caused by his dementia.
Yeah, also, he rapes children.
It’s the constantly being rewarded for a lifetime of criminal behavior including the rape and murder of children
Let us also recall his remarks concerning the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi :
“You’re mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about,” he said. “Whether you like him or didn’t like him, things happen.”
Like so many criticisms of others he offers, it would be perfectly applicable to himself.
Also a sociopath, and just an all around pos.
I can’t think of a single redeeming feature of Trump. He is possibly the worst person on the planet.
His incompetence is his redeeming quality.
Certainly his best quality. I mean Putin is a disgusting monster, but he’s well turned out, polite, and intelligent. Trump lacks any positive traits.
I suspect hes the most hated.
But Charlie Kirk…something something
Is dead , amen
