"Trump wrote: Robert Mueller just died. Good, I'm glad he's dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people! President DONALD J. TRUMP. The post was instantly condemned as disgusting and despicable by political and media figures."
"Fox News completely ignored the attack, save for a joking reference on their late-night program several days later. Other Trump allies have been asked about the attack, like Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, who gave a rehearsed and bizarre defense."
President Trump made a controversial post celebrating the death of Robert Mueller, which was condemned by various political figures.

Trump's allies provided bizarre defenses for his comments, while major media outlets largely ignored the incident, highlighting a disconnect between the severity of the remarks and the media's response.
