Trump shares image calling for his opponents to face trials for 'treason'

President Trump on Wednesday morning shared an image calling for his opponents to face trial for "treason," with many of them behind bars.

The image, which the president retweeted from a pro-Trump Twitter account, depicts a host of figures Trump has criticized, including former President Obama, former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, special counsel Robert Mueller, former FBI Director James Comey and former President Clinton.

"Now that Russia collusion is a proven lie, when do the trials for treason begin?" the caption on the photo reads.

Several of the figures in the image were targeted with mailed explosives allegedly from a Trump supporter last month. The retweet comes as reports emerge that Mueller's team is working on their final report about its investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

1. Whitaker's in place to shred Mueller's final report so it never sees the light of day.

[lindysalsagal]

56. He'll get it out there somehow. There are many patriots who will make it happen.

[Girard442]

2. Why not just say "Who will rid me of these troublesome people" and be done with it?

That's next, isn't it.

[niyad]

28. not next. this has been the real message of all his attacks throughout.

[The Liberal Lion]

3. Pure desparation

trump keeps doing everything it takes to push our land to complete collapse.

[world wide wally]

4. Maybe someone will bomb them for you, droopy drawers

[Fortinbras Armstrong]

5. Theodore Roosevelt wrote

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

[C_U_L8R]

6. Trump needs to make himself President for life

Because as soon as he's out of power, justice will have its way with him and his crooked family.

[aggiesal]

7. IQ45 is off his meds again ...

Here's the image.



Just thought people should see what was tweeted, since it was mentioned in the title.
I'll remove it, if it offends.

[PatSeg]

16. Absolutely insane!

Just when I thought he couldn't get any worse.

[Stuart G]

20. It will get worse, much worse. Especially when family is indicted.

[PatSeg]

25. I think you're right

He seems to be rapidly devolving into madness.

[CrispyQ]

19. If I were HRC, I'd have my passport & a packed bag by the front door, 24x7.

Who's the old guy behind Bill Clinton, next to Jim Comey?

Who's the guy behind Obama's right shoulder in the red tie?

[luvtheGWN]

22. It's okay -- she and Bill are in Canada now

on a speaking tour -- Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

Maybe they'll stay here -- getting a visa shouldn't be a problem!

[PatSeg]

27. Ha, ha!

Oh yes, I think she must be very afraid.

The guy with the red tie looks like Podesta. I think the one behind Bill Clinton is James Clapper.

[CrispyQ]

30. This is beyond the pale.

If there are any decent or moderate republicans left, now is the time for them to speak out. I don't think there are, though.

Thanks on the ID's!

[PatSeg]

33. I think that many moderate republicans

feel it is too late to turn back now, though I'm sure down the road, they'll regret not pulling away from Trump when they could. They've been trained to tow the party line and repeat prepared talking points ever since the Gingrich era. They don't seem to know how to speak for themselves.

You're welcome. It took me a minute to ID Clapper, but his face was familiar.

[underpants]

31. John Podesta

Who apparently committed treason by getting his email hacked.

[AZ8theist]

46. James Clapper, John Podesta. nt

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

24. Trump is the president who has no idea what it means to be the president.

If he did, he'd have some self control and not tweet out crap like this.

[RoBear]

39. Right.

It's disgusting, but I agree, people should see it.

That being said, it's sad we now cannot "unsee" it.

I only hope that truth will out...

I long to see REPUBLICANS behind bars. Round 'em up and Lock 'em up!

[lunasun]

51. Demagogue or dictator move . This from a president of our country is what is offensive

Thanks I had no idea what was being referenced

[George II]

8. This from the guy who said he was "too busy" to drive 2.8 miles from the white house to Arlington.

[PatSeg]

35. Good point

In a sense, I guess he IS busy, much like a teenager in his mom's basement.

[Racerdog1]

9. This orange plague

Will soon be eradicated.

[FreepFryer]

10. Clearly, he's doing so because that word has recently been leveled against him, or his associates.

Perhaps officially.

[DeminPennswoods]

11. He is really going off the deep end

really

[Duncan Grant]

12. Image here:

We’re not afraid of you, trump. Bring it.

[dhill926]

14. jesus fucking christ...

this is beyond the pale even for him. Any repubs gonna step up here and say something?......yep, thought so....

[Glimmer of Hope]

45. It looks like the image of President Clinton (Bill) suggests a gun pointing to his head. Good gawd.

Where did he get this image?

[SunSeeker]

13. Trump's trying to be Putin. nt

[muriel_volestrangler]

15. Putin is far more subtle than that. Trump's trying to be Kim Jong-un, or Mussolini (nt)

[Enoki33]

17. Worth a repeat. This monster is going full nuts.

[dembotoz]

18. Always the question, will he get away with it

And he will
Just another step towards total stupidity from 45.

Of many, many steps

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

21. I don't recall Russian collusion being proven a lie

I'm going to assume this is just another Trump lie. Someone tell me if you know anything different.

[KPN]

23. This bastard is more dangerous than we have given him credit for. He thinks he's greasing

the skids for making himself ultimately invincible with this tweet. As everything else he's done, if he repeats this often enough, the mainstream media normalizes it just by broadcasting and having ostensibly mature discourse around his claims.

He isn't going to go down without doing something really dangerous for many, if not, the world. This guy is too freaking arrogant, narcissistic and stupid to do otherwise.

I hope someone(s) somewhere is prepared to intervene when it gets to this point.

[Duppers]

34. Bingo!

"

He isn't going to go down without doing something really dangerous for many, if not, the world. This guy is too freaking arrogant, narcissistic and stupid to do otherwise."

His desperation is leading him further into insanity. You nailed it: he's now extremely dangerous.

[lark]

26. He always always accuses others of his own crimes.

He knows he and his co-horts are traitors and it's coming out so he accuses others of what he himself is doing right now and every since he took Russia's help to steal the office. He must really be getting worried about Mueller, he's so much smarter than drumpf. I'm sure the Manfort scam has him pissing in his pants.

[saidsimplesimon]

32. "He always always accuses others of his own crimes."

How true this is. That's why I don't read anything or watch anything that allows him to feed his base at our expense.

[lark]

36. Good for you.

I no longer listen to anything he says unless I absolutely can't avoid it. I have stepped out of a dr. waiting room to avoid his evil drivel. At home, I immediately mute the tv or change channels if they show a clip of him. I also don't check my twitter feed any longer. Fr the first time in my adulthood, I didn't watch the State of the Union speech this year. I will never watch another speech, unless it's the one where he resigns.

[True Blue American]

29. Trump is upset because he was named in the Manafort

Indictment.

[czarjak]

37. Commits treason...

Then screams treason?

[Hekate]

38. If those 18 bombs had gone off...It was the worst mass political assassination attempt in US history

Trump wants blood. Trumpists will try to oblige. Trump is destroying this nation.

[hostalover]

40. Good heavens. This is downright scary.

[AZ Jim]

41. When

Was collusion proven false? Was this guy always insane or is it or has it come on in the last two (long, Gawd LONG) years?

[jmowreader]

42. Well...there are a few problems

Problem 1: Russian collusion is not a "proven lie" anywhere but inside Trumpler's mind.

Problem 2: The Constitution gives a very specific definition of treason. No Democrat has met it, but Trump - depending on what's in the Mueller Report, which will probably be released to the press at the same time it's released to Congress - arguably has.

Problem 3 - the biggest one: When there is written proof Trump is as big a criminal as we all say he is, the hard right is going to go Ape Shit. And they have guns.

[Progressive Jones]

50. There will, no doubt, be a Trumpist uprising. Poor bastards won't know

what hit them. The problem is the damage and death they will cause before being put down.

[DesertRat]

43. Doesn't he have a JOB?

How does a person with the most important job in the country sit around and watch tv and tweet all day?

[oldlibdem]

47. Grover Norquist said it best

"We don't need a political ideologue, all we need is someone who can sign their name"! Tangerine Idi Amin isn't their to govern, he's their to serve the one percent and their benefactors.

[djacq]

44. Although this is a clear distraction;

Who authorized the use of tear gas on unarmed women and children at the southern border?

[iamthebandfanman]

48. lol

the desperation has started setting in..

[Progressive Jones]

49. Now he's sending out whacko right wing memes. LOL.

This clown is as big a loser as his supporters.
Everything and every person "Trump" is a disgrace to this nation.
The shittiest our nation offers.

[Beartracks]

52. LOL. Where was collusion proven to be a lie? Oh...

... in Trump's head.

Sounds legit.

======

[duforsure]

53. He almost always does this,

He suggest or accuses others of doing what he's done or is doing. When he lies about something its always repeated too several times at least, and the opposite of the truth. So when he suggests others committed treason , he's really telling everyone he has.

[Cha]

54. You Stupid MF, trump.

Link to tweet

[displacedtexan]

55. Was this retweet an attempt to divert attention from Cohen and the rest of the news?

It seemed so outrageous this morning; then, everything else started happening fast.
