‘You’re f*cking insane’: Internet scorches ‘traitor’ Trump over new bonkers tweet threatening to obstruct Mueller

TRAVIS GETTYS
02 MAY 2018 AT 11:43 ET

President Donald Trump threatened to “get involved” and obstruct special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe in a Wednesday morning tweet — which naturally set off a firestorm by other social media users.

The president complained earlier that the Russia probe was a “hoax,” and an investigation into his possible efforts to obstruct were a “trap,” but he issued a threat after insisting he had “unfettered power” to fire anyone in government.

The tweets seemed to be in response to deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein, who’s overseeing the Mueller probe and warned Tuesday that he would not cave to “threats” intended to “extort” the Justice Department.

Other Twitter users hammered the president with outrage, mockery and unsolicited legal advice.

66million plus voters voted for this disaster called potus. Don't need links. 66million+ voters felt the dotard would be a good potus. 30% of ameriKKKan still voters feel this disaster is doing a good job. No links necessary.

According to what you just said, less than half of the Trump voters still feel like he's doing a good job.

Why give Trump voters such hypothetical power?

I had a cat that used to sit on the dresser and one by one, knock off everything onto the floor. She did this every day. One day, I came home and again the dresser was devoid of all my things, but I couldn't find them until I opened the top dresser drawer. She has some how managed to open the drawer, push everything in there and close the drawer again. It was as if she was saying, "See now. I am done playing around with you."

Your meme just cracked me up thinking about that cat.

It reminds me of the "Flattery Folder" that his staff gives him everyday. They are trying to make their jobs easier and maybe even protect the American people.

Some of the tweets are definitely his vernacular, but others are waaaay over his syntax level, especially the ones with a lot of punctuation, proper grammar and spelling, and multi-syllabic words. And the really snarky ones come from Stephen (Nazi virgin) Miller.

But I think that it is time for the American public to get involved and see to it that this unhinged resident in the WH is removed to stop the damage being done. I also think pence also needs to be impeached for lying to everyone about the collusion with Russians in the 2016 elections.

Lock them up, boy that would be a dream come true. But, I can dream, can't I?

We're entering a period of great danger where our entire democracy is at risk.

I can't get y head around those Americans who voted for trump and still support him given the damage that is continuing to be done by his administration and cabinet. Think Pruitt as the poster boy of the fraud perpetrated by trump and his minions.

Do we still have a democracy and if so can we keep it?

Perhaps as a matter of degree, but fundamentally the same. And speaking of "mental", that particular state of affairs is undoubtedly much less healthy that before, but, again, it's all on a continuum.

His fiercest handlers will remind him of the extremely large amount of legal peril that interfering would create. Perhaps even the threatening is illegal, or at least evidentiary, but I bet dollars to doughnuts that those 'advisers' will settle for that relatively minor transgression.
