Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent on Sunday said people need to give President Trump more empathy after Trump posted that he was “glad” former FBI Director Robert Mueller was dead.

“I think that given what has been done to President Trump and his family it is impossible for either of us to understand what he has been through,” Bessent said during a Sunday appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

These people are amazing. The will bend over backwards to make excuses for trump. Everyone with a brain knows trump is as low as a man can go. He can't show an once of empathy for anyone and enjoys to see others suffer. instead of showing empathy for the Mueller family, we are supposed show empathy for trump. That is laughable.... Poot trump...everybody picks on him....

I agree that Trump needs no-one to make excuses.

Trump said something stupid that was insensitive to the family of the man who passed.

That the man himself should be buried in a large dog-s**t bag is besides the point.

All, Exactly as I said. What he said.

You didn't go thru what they did to the Trumps, the company employees (private or GOVT). You havre no clue, just TDS. Bring 10 yrs paperwork or go to jail for contempt by next Tues. Harassment 101. Pound sand you filthy BoardStain &Middler TDS puke.

Another nothing burger distraction for the Trump Haters to howl about.

I will disagree.

Trump never should have said it.

That's on him.

But the cry is.....our allies hate us....for finally telling them we are tired of carrying water for them.

 

[Alicia J]

MAGA supporters have no right to complain about how liberals said negative things about Charlie Kirk, if they see nothing wrong with Trump saying horrible things about Mueller after his death.

That is sheer hypocrisy.

Trump has no filter, that is clear. I don't think he should have said that either, but it is of no consequence. It just gives the Trump Haters a new bone to chew on.

Read what we are saying.

We said Trump was stupid and wrong to say it. Did you miss that?

And thank you for letting us know what side you are on. I was going to ask, but the odds were you'd be someone who uses MAGA as a pejorative. Not that I like MAGA.

In any event, welcome to the party. Now find your left wing cohorts and suck on the fact that you lost big in 2024. 2026 and 2028 are not going to be any different.

But you said you wanted to discuss politics. Lecturing people isn't discussing.

Was there something you'd like to talk about?

 

[leftwinger]

I'll forgive him. He's had the media, globalist, deep state and TDS swine on his back 24-7 since summer 2015 on the Golden Escalator ride down.

Spies, lies, cheats, bacstabbers leakers nd not one kind word about anything Trump since.

He's done grat work, working OT every day while the other lazy scum do no work but to setup corruption ad election fraud that he also has to unravel. MT. RUSHMORE. Too bad for Mule.

You are seriously going to say that it was O.K. to cheer Charlie Kirk's murder? Or let me ask if that is what you are saying.

 

[Rambunctious]

If some prosecutor came after any of you and had nothing on you but a made up story by Hillary.... but it still cost you millions of dollars and got your friends put in jail and or bankrupted wouldn't you be happy when that SOB died?... don't kid yourself....

Maybe you have enough decency to say that. Many of the MAGAs on here do not feel that way, based on comments that I read in another thread. In fact, many MAGAs on here joined Trump in celebrating Mueller's death. That just isn't cool.

Mueller was assigned to do a job and he did it. He actually did Trump a huge favor by not recommending charges against him. Trump supporters should actually be grateful to him.

And thank you for letting us know what side you are on. I was going to ask, but the odds were you'd be someone who uses MAGA as a pejorative. Not that I like MAGA.

Trump got less than 50% of the vote. A very slim majority in the House. Let's just be honest about the 2024 election.

But you said you wanted to discuss politics. Lecturing people isn't discussing.

You have to point out hypocrisy when it occurs.

Was there something you'd like to talk about?

The topic at hand.

 

[HikerGuy83]

That just isn't cool.

Agreed. For the sake of his family. I could not stand Mueller. But he's gone. He's not reading what Trump says. His family are.

Mueller was assigned to do a job and he did it.

O.K. Two different things. I don't want to argue this as it confuses things.

Trump should not have said it...period.

Trump got less than 50% of the vote.

And Harris got less than Trump. NOBODY expected that.

Watching the left on election night is still a fun thing for me (thank you YOUTUBE).

A very slim majority in the House.

And increased his lead in the senate.

When the dust cleared...he had both chambers. Not that it means much. There are enough dissenters and grifters in both parties to obstruct. It's what we've done to ourselves.

Still Trump should not have said what he did about Mueller.

You could be on this board 24 hours a day 7 days a week and you won't address it all.

This board represents America....tribalism and it's finest.

The topic at hand.

What topic was that?

Trump calling Mueller names?

O.K. Who got fired for doing that? Anyone you know of.

Lot's of people got fired over Kirk.....

Comparing random lefties on the Internet to the President just doesn't work. In fact, it weakens the argument that you are trying to make.

Obviously, Trump should be held to a much higher standard than some nitwits on the Internet. Once upon a time, presidents were expected to act with class and decency.

And it's interesting that you don't seem to understand the difference between the president and lefty nobodies on the Internet.

Why not? Who is Donald Trump to you?

In fact, it weakens the argument that you are trying to make.

What argument am I trying to make?

I have said Trump was wrong.

Several have said he was wrong.

Some cheer it (and I don't agree with them), but I don't know if they are stupid enough to post TikTok reels that can been seen and reported to reporters.

So, I am curious to know what argument I am trying to make. I am certainly NOT justifying Trump's remarks with the example of Charlie Kirk. If you think that is the case, then look closer....because it isn't.

Obviously, Trump should be held to a much higher standard than some nitwits on the Internet.

Why is that?

Once upon a time, presidents were expected to act with class and decency.

Died with Clinton and "I didn't have sex with that woman".

BTW: I thought impeaching him was an embarassment to the GOP. What a huge mistake.

I wish they would behave better. I wish a lot of things were different. But I don't excuse the idiots on the net who blather into their phones because they can. They are POS, just like Trump was.

But holding Trump to a higher standard doesn't get it with me. Everyone should be doing better.

And it's interesting that you don't seem to understand the difference between the president and lefty nobodies on the Internet.

Talk about a shoddy argument.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Democrats have treated Trump and family far too bad to even think about him giving them pleasantries.

 

[BluesLegend]

Riiiiight Trump should be nice to the corrupt asshole who tried to take down a U.S. president, F Mueller and his kin!

No no no the Dem rule is, Dems can be total assholes but Republicans must be nice to them.

What do you think got Donald Trump elected?

Just curious.

I am going to assume you were not a fan of his before. Why not? And if you were, I apologize.
