Robert Mueller, the former FBI director who led the investigation into alleged Russian interference in US President Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign, has died aged 81. The veteran prosecutor, long seen as a bipartisan figure, drew a sharply divisive response from Trump, who said he was “glad he’s dead” in a post on social media.

So...is this Trump's way of admitting that Mueller actually did find him guilty? We all know that the only reason he didn't recommend charges was because he was still in office...but so far, Trump has claimed he was "totally exonerated". I guess we now also know that was a lie.

Yeah, you'd think he'd like the guy that 'exonerated' him. Weird that he feels this way about him.

It’s almost as if he lied about the exonerated stuff

What, the president of the United States lying about something that would be possible to prove wrong? I don't know if he would risk his reputation like that, wouldn't want people to think poorly of him...

In times of crisis, he could be counted upon to do nothing.

And, your death can't come soon enough. I'm not a good dancer, but I'll still be better than you when you're buried.

I mean, is it healthy or normal to be “glad” at the death of someone that isn’t a rapist or murderer (and alike). Especially for the president of the United States?

Supporters are just gonna be like “Yeah I’m glad he died too!” because he did what was asked of him to the best of his ability? Like wtf? “Glad”?

Remember this, Trump supporters, when we are glad.
