Donald Trump Just Told Reporters 'No One Disobeys My Orders' and People Can't Stop Sharing the Names of Everyone Who Did

Donald Trump Just Told Reporters 'No One Disobeys My Orders' and People Can't Stop Sharing the Names of Everyone Who Did

Surrrrrrrre.

Though President Donald Trump and his allies are painting the recently-released redacted Mueller Report as a total exoneration of the President for conspiracy and obstruction of justice, the White House is still struggling to spin the more damning details listed in the report (which explicitly doesn't exonerate the president on suspected obstruction).

The report reveals multiple accounts of White House staff ignoring the President's more legally and ethically questionable orders. When asked about this by Kaitlan Collins of CNN, Trump said:


"No one disobeys my orders."

Watch below:

Despite Trump's assertion, multiple people are listed in the report as having disobeyed orders from the President.

People were quick to name names.

Among them: former White House Counsel Don McGahn.

Trump ordered McGahn to fire Robert Mueller, which McGahn refused to do, threatening to resign. McGahn later told another White House staff member that the President was asking him to do "crazy s--t" for him.

Another name: Former Trump Campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

Despite Lewandowski not working for the White House, Trump asked his former campaign manager to persuade then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to walk back his recusal. Lewandowski agreed to this before asking actual White House employee Rick Dearborn to deliver the message instead. According to the report, "Dearborn was uncomfortable with the task and did not follow through."

These two are far from the only instances officials ignored or refused to carry out orders from the President.

Many gleefully pointed this out.

Even Fox News, days earlier, pointed out those who didn't comply with the President, albeit while missing the point.

It's likely that Trump will double down on this claim despite it being demonstrably false, but we'll know more soon: the House Judiciary Committee just subpoenaed Don McGahn.

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
