The President's Latest Tweet About 'Special Council' Robert Mueller was Completely Unhinged

Wait, what?

President Donald Trump unleashed a fiery tweet about Special Counsel Robert Mueller on Friday and Twitter responded in kind, poking fun at the president's spelling mistakes and outlandish claim that the Mueller probe is "illegal."


The president reiterated his conspiracy theory about former FBI Director James Comey being a leaker, something which Trump believes led to the "Special Council" was "established based on an illegal act." Note the misuse of "council," rather than 'counsel.'

"James Comey illegally leaked classified documents to the press in order to generate a Special Council? Therefore, the Special Council was established based on an illegal act? Really, does everybody know what that means?"

The spelling mistake, which the president has made more than once, did not go unnoticed.

"You just can't seem to spell counsel correctly. Is that a Wharton thing?"

The digs continued.

"Actually it's a Trump U thing."



Contrary to Trump's bizarre assertions, Mueller was appointed by the Department of Justice after the president admitted to MSNBC's Lester Holt that he fired Comey over "the Russia thing," which he continues to describe as a "witch hunt."

Twitter immediately pounced on Trump, with users offering up theories that might explain the president's ire.

"It might mean you are the only guy over 70 up after 11pm..." one person wrote in response to Trump, who asked, perhaps rhetorically, what having an "illegal" investigation means.

Others had alternate explanations.

"You know your lawyer sucks, because the first thing any lawyer tells you is to shut the hell up."

Critics of the president simply didn't hold back.

"I don't think you know what anything means, really."

On Friday evening, Trump issued another angry tweet, this time about former Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, whom Trump mistakenly called "Wendy." The naming error was corrected, but not before Twitter had the chance to fire back.

"Just heard the Campaign was sued by the Obstructionist Democrats. This can be good news in that we will now counter for the DNC Server that they refused to give to the FBI, the Debbie Wasserman Schultz Servers and Documents held by the Pakistani mystery man and Clinton Emails."

"He's just making people up now," tweeted Bill Palmer.

"Wendy Wasserman Shultz is the perpetrator of the Bowling Green Massacre," wrote another Twitter user, recalling a terrorist attack that White House Adviser Kellyanne Conway once referenced. It never happened. "Jeez."

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Trolls Trump For Struggling To Stay Awake During Antifa Roundtable

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump for appearing to fall asleep during a White House roundtable about Antifa, which the administration recently designated a "domestic terror organization" even though it's not an organization at all.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.
