Trump Retweets Fan Account Meme Of Liberal Nemeses, Rod Rosenstein In Jail

President Donald Trump went on a retweeting binge Wednesday morning, sharing posts from an unverified fan account called “The Trump Train.”

Among the several baseless claims made in the Trump Train tweets, he retweeted a meme photoshopped image that depicts his liberal nemeses, as well as his own Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in jail.

While most of those included in the photo are Trump’s favorite political targets, like Hillary Clinton, Robert Mueller and James Comey, the inclusion of Rosenstein is notable.

Rosenstein had been overseeing Mueller’s probe until recently when Trump fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the beginning of the month. Since then, acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker — who is not a fan of the investigation — has been overseeing Mueller’s work.

After The New York Times reported in September that Rosenstein made suggestions about secretly recording Trump and ousting him from office, there was significant speculation that Trump might fire the deputy attorney general. Yet Trump surprised critics when he opted to keep him at the DOJ.
