The press is doing it for him and he's probably been told gloating will only hurt him in this instance as it'll appear as if he's over celebrating.

Trump rarely listens to his handlers but on this they probably have explained why it's important to let the narrative be the report and not his stupid tweets. The report is all the gloating he needs. It's the top story on the news. Everyone who watches the news will hear it perfectly: Mueller finds no evidence Trump colluded with Russia.

The gloating will always be there but right now he's letting things pass.
