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.”
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.
True. Some are not waiting.
The guy who resigned claimed that FBI blocked investigation into that assassination:

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.
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.
You seem very sure.
I am very sure, positive, the story is bullshit x3.
Who’s this?
OLD GREGG
Tyler Robinson .
Allegedly
It will be bittersweet in that, we’ll all wish he was still around just long enough to see the feativities.
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.
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
I agree, but would also add that he seems to enjoy the infamy that his haters have afforded him
I believe that his name on things is a plan to collect royalty payments.
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.
