Donald Trump has been condemned as a “vile, disgusting man” and a “sick human being” after gloating over the death of Robert Mueller, a former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Mueller, a decorated Vietnam war veteran who led a politically explosive investigation into Trump, died on Friday aged 81, triggering a callous reaction from the US president.

“Robert Mueller just died,” Trump responded quickly on his Truth Social platform. “Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!”

Even by the president’s own norm-shredding standards, the comment was unusually harsh. There was a chorus of opprobrium from the “Never Trump” movement in his own Republican party.

Michael Steele, a former chairman of the Republican National Committee, wrote on X: “@realDonaldTrump you are a vile disgusting man. Petty and pathetic, you are a hypocrite who reeks of weakness and insecurities with no moral core. Regardless of the politics, the American people should be embarrassed and ashamed for ever having entrusted you with leadership.”

    He doesn’t even realize that the day he dies, his own tweet from today will be reshared millions of times. People cannot wait for this son of a bitch to die.

    He is a child rapist and genocidal warmongering mass murderer. Gloating over one death is a drop in an ocean of toxic waste.

        As a Canadian I refuse to ever step foot in the USA again because of what Turmp has done and watching the American people celebrate it.

        That said, I will gladly take a day to visit just so I can leave a steaming log of shit on his grave.

      Funny we’re reading this in British media, because the Americans are entirely confined to the Cuck Chair of a corporate media desk

    Trump: “Mueller’s report completely exonerated me.”

    Also Trump: “I’m glad Mueller is dead.”

    And people somehow think this lines up.

    “Innocent people” is a weird way to spell “pedophile”, but knowing that a lot of pedophile activists are gaslighting themselves into believing that children can consent and they want it…
