Trump Draws Mockery Over Rage-Tweets Against Mueller, Political Foes: ‘Your Desperation is Showing’
The Twitterverse is raising its eyebrows in response to President Trump‘s latest rage-tweets over Robert Mueller‘s investigation
Based on how many developments are currently underway, this could be significant Friday for Trump from a legal standpoint. Mueller and federal prosecutors are about to provide more detail on Michael Cohen‘s cooperation with them, the special counsel will explain the “crimes and lies” that led to the termination of Paul Manafort‘s plea deal, James Comey will face questions from the House Judiciary and Oversight Committees, and George Papadopoulos is about to be released from prison.
How is Trump responding to all of this? Well, he unleashed a tweetstorm this morning where he railed against Mueller’s “conflicts of interest,” accused deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein of being conflicted as well, and pretty much opened fire on all his political enemies.
As per usual, people have a lot to say when Trump tweets stuff like this. Most political observers, however, think Trump must be feeling extremely vulnerable and/or is hoping that his tweets will let him undermine whatever bad news comes down the line.

President Trump would be the world’s worst poker player.

Somebody appears to be very worried about the Mueller sentencing documents dropping today. https://t.co/8HYAVaLhzt

Trump’s tweet freak out this morning is like that old guy you see walking around town muttering to himself about the most random of issues.

At this point this sentiment can be used a fairly accurate barometer of how badly things are going for him at any given moment in time. https://t.co/0Voifw4e80

“Bye the way”. God you are dangerously dumb. On the other hand at least when you try to use the nuclear codes there’ll definitely be a typo.https://t.co/G8YYVLSPbD

Your desperation is showing. The issue here is the Russian attack on the 2016 election, contacts between TrumpWorld (including you) and Russians, and your collusion with Putin’s disinformation campaign. https://t.co/b0kTGVwT4V

Dear @realdonaldtrump.
Reading your tweets this morning tells me you’re now pretty much every mentally ill homeless dude outside the bus station, screaming at the cops to publish your manifesto.
Dear Trump Republicans: enjoy defending THAT.
