Mary Trump reacts to Donald Trump’s post
Mary Trump, the estranged niece of Donald Trump, made an X (formerly Twitter) post on Saturday, criticizing the President’s post about the death of Robert Mueller.
“Robert Mueller served his country honorably for decades,” Mary wrote. “In response to his death, Donald wrote: ‘Good. I’m glad he’s dead.’ If you think that’s acceptable or even remotely ok, you are part of the problem,” she added, sharply rebuking President Trump’s post about Mueller earlier.
Shortly after the former FBI director passed away on Friday night, March 20, the president penned a celebratory note on Truth Social. “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead,” Donald stated, adding, “He can no longer hurt innocent people!”
Mary is among the many political figures who have slammed the POTUS’ statement about Mueller’s passing. Adam Schiff, junior U.S. senator for California, wrote on X, “Every day, this president shows his basic indecency and unfitness for office.” Meanwhile, New York Representative Dan Goldman stated that Trump “disgustingly celebrates Mueller’s death simply because he exposed Trump’s efforts to steal the 2016 election.”
Additionally, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer wrote on X, “The cruelty is the point,” adding that Trump’s “goal is to distract you from rising gas prices, his aimless war, ICE abuses, and the Epstein files.”
Amid the criticisms, many Republicans have come to Donald’s defense. Political consultant and the president’s longest-serving advisor, Roger Stone, wrote, “The judgement of Robert Mueller has moved to a much higher court,” referring to divine justice. Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent defended Donald’s explosive post about Mueller, saying “we should all have a little empathy” for the President for “what has been done to him and his family” (via Meet The Press).
