President Donald Trump expressed his displeasure Friday that special counsel Robert Mueller was not confirmed by the Senate, though that position does not require Senate confirmation.
Mueller has also been previously confirmed by the Senate for his role as FBI director.

Pigs gotta be piggy!
Just be grateful Dotard that you didn’t need to be confirmed…
What this convoluted lie tells us is that Trump is aware that Whitaker’s appointment is illegal. He knows Whitaker can’t do jack to help him. The Trump I saw in that video was one who is very much in the present, grappling with a serious error. He’s embattled and without the tools to defend himself, flailing away.
He heard that something about Senate confirmation is important. It’s being repeated over and over. It’s lodged in his brain [sic, sic, sic]. It’s the weapon he’s being hit with, so he’ll pick that weapon up and hit back ten times as hard with it! Whatever “it” is.
He doesn’t know what these things mean. They’re just wordburgers to him.
