Democrats are skewering President Donald Trump after he proclaimed on Saturday that he was glad former special counsel Robert Mueller had died. “Every day, this president shows his basic indecency and unfitness for office,” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) wrote on X in response to Trump’s statement.

The diatribe, in which Trump said he was “glad he’s dead” because he “can no longer hurt innocent people,” drew fierce condemnation from Democrats.

“The cruelty is the point,” Democratic Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wrote on X. “Trump’s goal is to distract you from rising gas prices, his aimless war, ICE abuses, and the Epstein files. Don’t give him what he wants. And may Robert Mueller, a US Marine and lifelong public servant, rest in peace.”

Mueller and the president, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) wrote on X Saturday, “represent polar opposites of what a public servant should be.”. “Yet the President of the United States disgustingly celebrates Mueller’s death simply because he exposed Trump’s efforts to steal the 2016 election,” Goldman said.

1. The title shouldn't be "Democrats pile on Trump for post celebrating Mueller's death"

It should be "Everyone piles on Trump for post celebrating Mueller's death"

But those ReThugs are useless jellyfish.

2. The zombie MAGats agree with him

but then they are inhumane because they are not human, so probably wouldn't be considered as a part of "everyone".

3. Is It Pedantic Of Me To Point Out That "Pile On" Is A Negative Term....

Like kicking when the person is down? (Why yes, I did check the connotation and denotation.)

4. Politico manages to make Trump the victim of a "pile on" now?

Politico is garbage.

6. It's red meat for OUR masses

8. Robert Mueller was a true hero, especially when compared to someone else

LEFT: 1960s Robert Mueller, a wounded and highly decorated soldier in Vietnam.

RIGHT: 1960s Donald Trump, a draft dodger at reform school, not athletic enough to make the team so picking up jock straps as “staff.”
