'Disgusting and Despicable' Critics Aghast at Trump Celebrating Robert Mueller's Death

Source: MEDIAite

Mar 21st, 2026, 2:52 pm


President Donald Trump shocked many on Saturday when he openly celebrated the death of former FBI Director Robert Mueller, declaring he was “glad” not long after the news broke.

Mueller’s family confirmed on Saturday that the former special prosecutor died at the age of 81. MS NOW had first reported on Mueller’s death. His passing followed a years-long battle with Parkinson’s.

“Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!” the president wrote on Truth Social.

Mueller was the special prosecutor who oversaw an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Mueller ultimately concluded Russia had interfered with the intention of pushing Trump for their own benefit. Trump often attacked Mueller and referred to the investigation as a “witch hunt.”. Critics were stunned by Trump’s post on Saturday, even with his history with Mueller. Most simply shared Trump’s message without commenting, but even some conservatives had to comment on how cutthroat the message was.

However, keep in mind that a majority of the electorate (i.e. "the popular vote”) voted for him, in spite of (for example) him whipping up a mob (he knew to be armed) and directing them to the Capital, to “fight like Hell.” The only reason he wasn’t with them for the assault was he was restrained by his Secret Service detail.

The whole world watched it, many of them live, and yet, a majority of the electorate saw fit to put him back in the Oval Office.

They called me after the Superbowl. They hadn't been watching it. They said that they heard a lot of horns honking and fireworks and their first thought was, "what's happening? Did trump die?" They were disappointed to find out it was just celebrating the seahawk's win!

and with the Adcom-powered 600W RMS quadrophonic system + 1000W RMS 15" subwoofer, proceed to BLAST at very high volumes, the Van Halen version of "Dancing in the Streets". In fact, I'll turn the mains around so they point at the open window!

This system, with the windows and doors open, should crank loud enough to be heard at the Mormon church that's about 150 yards away

Then my partner and I are literally going to dance in the middle of the street.



There, we're going to shake up a bottle of champagne, pop it, and shoot it all over ourselves like we just won the World Series, and then chug it while we continue to dance to songs like Celebration and Walking On Sunshine. In fact, the mix is already queued up on the streaming service. We'll continue to dance until one or more of my dipshit neighbors comes out to try to fight us. Though I know there's also some liberals around, so I'm hoping it turns into a small flash mob/block party.



In fact, I should probably grab some fireworks next time they're for sale, to store for the occasion

This is what it took for them to be aghast? I've been aghast since he rode down the escalator in 2015. Although it IS disgusting and despicable, it's just par for the course for him. Who expected anything else at this late stage? Maybe someone who had been in a coma for the past 15 years or someone who had never heard any of his comments before. The rest of us are not surprised by his being as loathsome as he can be; saddened maybe, but certainly not surprised. Don't misunderstand me, it's disheartening that the president of the United States is as vile as he is, but he is exactly who and what he's always been. This is nothing new.

... is no longer bound by anything even remotely resembling common human decency; he is evil down to his DNA. He is the lowest of the low, though the competition is stiff for that singular, if dubious, distinction. Every asshole that voted for him is in the running. But turd polishers – and there are many – like Lindsey Graham are out in front of that pack of rabid hyenas.

Ya gotta wonder... how do people sink so low that they actually want to be Republicans? They're like dogs that roll in carrion. It's unfathomable.

In fact, we can't wait. We have bottles of champagne chilling even as we talk about how disgusting TSF is for celebrating a great American's death. The difference will be that unlike the GREAT Robert Mueller, who actually made our nation safer, TSF has made the entire world less safe, less prosperous for working people and deserves every ounce of hate he is getting. Of COURSE we will be celebrating. Mardi Gras ain't got NUTHIN' on the kind of celebrations we'll see when TSF passes!
