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.”

I beleive that there will be world wide celebration when Trump dies, no matter when, no matter how. That will be a good day.

[–] zilouge@feddit.nu 4 points 11 hours ago

Yeah, I have bottle of champagne ready for that happy day.

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I'm afraid there will be so many crocodile tears "thoughts and prayers" tweets about his death

[–] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 6 points 11 hours ago

Yeah, but they won't be able to drown out the dancing/ partying in the streets.

[–] ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk 1 points 10 hours ago

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.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

"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...

The fall of Western Civ

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago

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.

[–] JeeBaiChow@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

The voters chose/ allowed him into the wh. They own all of this.

[–] ForlornHorseCorn@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This just in: Child rapist is a shitty person.

But how about that Dow guys, why aren't we paying attention to what really matters?

Bomb falling sound

Sorry I can't hear you over all the munitions they're suddenly dropping on various countries we weren't at war with. I think they asked how is the Dow????

God damn! They condemned him! That's serious, right?

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 22 hours ago

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

[–] ExtremeDullard@piefed.social 63 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

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.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, also, he rapes children.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

It’s the constantly being rewarded for a lifetime of criminal behavior including the rape and murder of children

[–] WesternInfidels@feddit.online 14 points 1 day ago

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.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 72 points 1 day ago (9 children)

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.

[–] nymnympseudonym@piefed.social 17 points 1 day ago (20 children)

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:

Where are all the “respect Charlie Kirk” people at?

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 26 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They are saying Trump restrained himself and could've been harsher.

[–] neukenindekeuken@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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?

There's never a fucking day spared for which that bastard likes to create horrors for even billions of people.

"He can no longer hurt innocent people"
How that disgusting, child raping, schoolgirl bombing, ShitGoblin can say that is just astonishing. Fucks sake.

Why are people surprised? The World's Foremost Pedofile called Trump The Worst Person He'd Ever Known

[–] tgcoldrockn@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

"I have met some very bad people ... none as bad as Trump," Epstein reportedly wrote in the email, which was released by House lawmakers this week in a trove of files

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

He is a child rapist and genocidal warmongering mass murderer. Gloating over one death is a drop in an ocean of toxic waste.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

And he has been rewarded for this behavior his entire life because our system has no laws against the pedofile parasite class

[–] Naich@piefed.world 26 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I can't think of a single redeeming feature of Trump. He is possibly the worst person on the planet.

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.

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago

Ice cream and strippers.

[–] 0li0li@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

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.

Day by day, word by word, action by action, confirms that he is the bloated corrupt personification of everything that is wrong with us.

[–] Lucelu2@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 day ago

Hey Donald... Tick Tock

[–] status_sphere@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

Trump: “Mueller’s report completely exonerated me.”

Also Trump: “I’m glad Mueller is dead.”

And people somehow think this lines up.
