Donald Trump Jr. And Robert Mueller's Close Airport Encounter

[orangecrush]

Donald Trump Jr. was captured on camera waiting for a flight near the same airport gate as special counsel Robert Mueller on Friday, and tweeters had a field day.


POLITICO shared the above snap of President Donald Trump’s eldest son stood talking on a cell phone at Gate 35X of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, just yards away from the man who is probing Russian meddling in the 2016 election and possible Trump campaign collusion.

Trump Jr. confirmed to the Daily Mail it was himself in the photograph, but said he “didn’t notice” Mueller nearby. Mueller’s office, meanwhile, confirmed to ABC News he was in the shot but was “not aware” of Trump Jr. and had “no interaction with him.”


Unsurprisingly, it didn’t stop tweeters ― including the team from”The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” ― from bringing the gags:

4. Is that Mrs. Mueller

next to the Special Prosecutor? Just curious. Looks like he is reading a newspaper...wonder which one? I also wonder if he watches any news? Is that Secret Service behind Jr? So many questions...

5. Yup.

That’s SS sitting next to jr alright.

6. It's good to know Mueller is keeping tabs on Jr

but it's a little surprising that he's doing surveillance personally.

7. That's how the president's son dresses in public?

8. This is just my indemic paranoia speaking

But it frightens me that the one man who could be the single-handed catalyst of the fate of our democracy sits alone in an airport with (seemingly) little or no protection close at hand.

I envision him surrounded by a security detail every time he steps foot in public. With Russian Russians and RWNJ American Russians seeping out of every crack and crevice, you can't be too careful. Godspeed, Mr. Mueller.

9. I sure hope nobody steals his briefcase or his luggage

Meanwhile the worthless piece of shit Trump spawn has an armed guard on his side at all times
