Trump Rails Against Mueller, Mocks Sessions in Profane Tirade: Trying to Take Me Down With ‘Bullsh*t!’

by Aidan McLaughlin | Mar 2nd, 2019, 12:58 pm

President Donald Trump railed against Special Counsel Robert Mueller, his team of investigators and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions during a lengthy and profane tirade at CPAC on Saturday. During an extensive improvised riff, Trump praised his own election victory in 2016, calling it “the greatest of all time.”

“You put the wrong people in a couple of positions…and all of a sudden, they are trying to take you out with bullshit!” Trump said, which drew rapturous applause and chants of “Bullshit!” from inside the hall, per reports.

“Robert Mueller never received a single vote,” Trump said, of the investigator appointed to lead a probe into his campaign’s ties with Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Trump then turned his ire to Sessions, who served as attorney general through several years of presidential Twitter abuse, after he recused himself from the Russia investigation given his work on the 2016 campaign. “I’m gonna recuse mahself,” Trump said, mocking Sessions’s Alabama accent.

‘These People Are Sick’: Trump Mocks Media for Coverage of His ‘Russia, If You’re Listening…’ Comments at CPAC

by Josh Feldman | Mar 2nd, 2019, 12:43 pm

President Donald Trump teed off on the media today at his CPAC speech, mocking them for taking his infamous “Russia, if you’re listening…” campaign comments about Hillary Clinton‘s emails seriously.

When he brought up the “fake news,” the president said, “If you tell a joke, if you are sarcastic, if you’re having fun with the audience, if you’re on live television with millions of people and 25,000 people in an arena people in an arena, and if you say something like ‘Russia, please, if you can get us Hillary Clinton’s emails! Please, Russia, please!'”

He said it in a mocking voice, which was immediately followed up by chants of “Lock her up!”

“Then that fake CNN and others say, ‘He asked Russia to get the emails. Horrible,'” Trump continued. “I mean, I saw it like two weeks ago. I’m watching and they’re talking about one of the points. ‘He asked Russia for the emails.’ These people are sick. And I’m telling you, they know the game. They know the game. And they play it dirty.”

Far too many folks on DU think the ridiculous absurd BS Trump tells his CULT adherents is done for no other reason than to make himself feel better & thats not true!! As long as the TRUMP CULT is behind him Trump will not be removed from office because it has already been well established very few Republicans are going to cross the DEAR LEADER & his CULT to defend the US Constitution & uphold US Laws. Just not going to happen. Sorry.

...We the people will have to remove Trump via the ballot box.

25. That's probably why he's freaking out.

Now that he has a direct line into the investigation (Barr) it scares the shit out of him what Mueller's finding, and how little power he has to stop it.

It might have also sunk in that he has absolutely no power over state legal proceedings against him. In other words, he can't pardon himself, a favorite fantasy of his.

You can always tell he's terrified when he brags about his "great electoral victory, bigger than anyone else's." Someone should remind him that in 1972 Richard Nixon won 49 states--and 60% of the popular vote--in the election just before he resigned on August 9, 1974, to avoid impeachment.

Sadly, the ones I know can't be waved off as mentally ill or low IQ. They are neither. Most have college degrees and lead middle class or upper middle class lives. They are, however, blatantly racist (although they would vehemently deny it). So long as Trump is bagging on POC and liberals, they're happy with him.

I'm starting to see this as an S&M or B&D type situation. They LIKE to be hurt/humiliated... by him, anyway. We had heard he mocked Sessions' accent in private, but that could just be dismissed as Fake News. To think, he feels safe to do this in public. Deplorables just ask for more.

who is all about Trump right now; she’s obsessed with defending him and lionizing his “accomplishments.” The thing is that she’s an old-school chola, a SoCal Mexican gangster type girl who has been poor her whole life. Trump despises people like her. He holds people like her in absolute contempt. But she can’t see that.

spinning out of control. It's been a bad, bad week for shitler. I still think he's apt to resign. I think he's sick and tired and this week may be icing on the cake. I could see him, against the fervent advice of insiders and family just saying fuck it. I'm out of here. I'll take my chances. Sure, it may mean instant indictment, but who knows how that plays out in his sick mind. I think deep inside he wants to do what he's always done when faced with serious consequences and opposition he can't bullshit around....he runs away.

Lock him up.
