President Trump took to Twitter Sunday morning to air his grievances about the Mueller investigation, or, as he prefers to call it, the "Witch Hunt." It's something he does a lot. Sometimes the president is direct in his critiques:
And sometimes he approaches the issue from more oblique angles.
But Sunday's edition of the president’s hourly rebuke of the Russia probe might be his most over-the-top yet. Eschewing the bluntly all-caps style that's his trademark, Trump adopted a more florid voice to honor the lives of all the promising young people lost to the Russia investigation. Yes, that's right. Not the young, beautiful lives destroyed by gun violence. Not the young, beautiful lives destroyed by ICE. The young, beautiful lives destroyed by Bob Mueller.
Young, beautiful, and starry-eyed: If that doesn’t describe Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort, what does?
