Trump's Harsh Reaction to Mueller's Death

0:00On March 21st, former FBI director Robert Mueller passed away at age 81 on Friday. President Trump reacted fast on true social, saying he was glad Mueller was dead since he could no longer harm innocent people. The post drew immediate fire for its harsh tone. Mueller served 12 years as FBI head and earned honors as a Vietnam war veteran with a bronze star and purple heart. Later, as special counsel, he pro-duration election interference, leading to dozens of indictments, but no charges against Trump himself. Critics from both parties piled on. Republicans like former party chair Michael Steele called Trump a vile, petty hypocrite. Democrats and strategists labeled him spiteful and indecent, contrasting Mueller's public service with Trump's character. Many highlighted Trump's draft affirmance during Vietnam versus Mueller's front line wounds. They also recalled his past digs at the late John McCain and others, breaking the old rule against speaking ill of the dead. Supporters rallied behind Trump, but Senate leaders like Chuck Schumer called it a cruel distraction from bigger issues.
