Trump applauds Mueller death, threatens war crimes in Iran, demonizes Dems

Donald Trump is in the midst of an epic Donald Trump social media bender. This one, with applause for the death of Robert Mueller, and a threat to commit war crimes in Iran, might be the Donald Trump social media bender of all Donald Trump social media benders.

And that’s not accounting for the latest screed in the bender, at this writing:

“Now with the death of Iran, the greatest enemy America has is the Radical Left, Highly Incompetent, Democrat Party!”

Here we go.

Funny, haven’t heard from any of our local MAGA pols who were busy getting other MAGAs to boycott businesses and pressure employers to fire people who spoke out when Charlie Kirk was lionized after his murder about how literally half the country is now “the greatest enemy America has.”

The war crime in the bender was the threat from Trump to “obliterate” the country’s power plants, “STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST ONE FIRST,” if the Islamic Republic doesn’t “FULLY OPEN” the Strait of Hormuz by Monday.

This, after Trump, on Friday, lifted sanctions on the sale of Iranian oil, which will give the Iranian regime’s leaders billions of dollars to use to fund their side of the war effort.

“To put it mildly, this is bananas,” Blackstone Compliance Services director David Tannenbaum told the BBC. “Essentially, we’re allowing Iran to sell oil, which could then be used to fund the war effort.”

Bananas, indeed – and for the record, it ain’t working; crude oil is still trading at prices up 50 percent from pre-war levels, and a gallon of gas is up 99 cents from where things were on the eve of the war three weeks ago, and diesel is up $1.50 a gallon from a month ago.

The item that Trump posted about Robert Mueller is par for the coarse – play on words intended there.

“Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!” was Trump’s visceral reaction to the passing of Mueller, the former FBI director and Vietnam War veteran who headed up the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, which Trump had taken to claiming had “exonerated” him as having been complicit in election funny business.

Trump applauding the death of Mueller seems to suggest that Trump is acutely aware that the Mueller Report didn’t, in fact, exonerate him.

It also suggests that Trump is an asshole.
