President Donald Trump on Monday called special counsel Robert Mueller’s team “Angry Democrat Thugs” in his latest outburst against the Russia investigation.

Trump’s latest tweets come after the New York Times reported that White House Counsel Don McGahn has been cooperating with Mueller’s investigation and sat for 30 hours of interviews in recent months.

  1. I liked his tweets better when they were lovingly hand-crafted, not out-sourced to foreign sweatshops in the Ukraine.

    AKA daily Twitter-Tantrum.

    You are only convincing those who are already supporting you (a minority of the population), for the rest, you are daily solidifying the perception of an impulsive, agitated, shallow usurper of the WH who is wildly striking out, because the walls are threatening to close in on you.

    As your volatile former campaign manager once said: Womp Womp. Hear that - after each tweet - millions of people respond with some version of that response - or with violent eye rolls.

  3. Anyone else notice that …

    “Angry Democrat Thugs”

    … is an anagram for “Help! Get me out of here!”?

  4. next step: “Mueller’s Russia conflicted team” or something like that.
    Not just Democrats—but colluding with Russia to take Trump down.
