Throughout the political career of Donald Trump it has been glaringly apparent that the singular focus of his attention is always exclusively on himself. Having been diagnosed unofficially by knowledgeable observers as a malignant narcissist, Trump continues to validate those opinions with virtually every vile and hate-filled public utterance he makes.

The idolatrous fixation that Trump’s toadies in Congress and the MAGA media have for him would make a fantastic plot for a comic book about a dystopian country with an authoritarian leader. Unfortunately, it makes a horrific theme for a real world scenario wherein a cult leader manages to acquire power and plots to preserve it at all costs.

This scenario can seen at work in the remarks by Trump’s Treasury Secretary, Scott Bessent, on Sunday morning’s episode of Meet the Press. In a discussion about the recent passing of American hero and lifelong patriot, Robert Mueller, host Kristen Welker pressed Bessent on his reaction to a disgusting comment Trump made about Mueller’s death…
Welker: Trump from yesterday, responding to the death of Robert Mueller, he posted this, quote “Robert Mueller just died. Good, I’m glad he’s dead. He can no longer hurt innocent people!”
Do you think it’s appropriate for the president of the United States to celebrate the death of an American citizen? Someone who is a Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient who served in Vietnam?
Bessent: [After rambling about the FBI lawfully searching for – and finding – classified materials at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort] Neither one of us can understand what has been done to the president and his family.
Welker: But to the question of the president’s post – I mean, Robert Mueller didn’t order that raid – Is it appropriate for the president to celebrate the death of any American citizen?
Bessent: Again, 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.
Welker: So you don’t think there’s anything wrong with the post saying, “Good. Robert Mueller’s dead”?
Bessent: Again, I think that we should all have a little empathy for what has been done to him and his family.
WELKER: Do you think it's appropriate for POTUS to celebrate the death of Bronze Star recipient?BESSENT: Neither one of us can understand what's been done to the president & his familyW: So there's nothing wrong w/post saying, 'Good. Mueller's dead'?B: We should have empathy for the president
Welker asked a simple question seeking to ascertain Bessents’s opinion as to whether it was appropriate for Trump to dance on the grave of someone that he regarded as political foe. But Bessent was unable to provide an honest answer. He entirely ignored the fact that Mueller was a decorated veteran who served his country honorably, and devoted decades to public service. Instead Bessent diverted to nonsense about the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago, that Mueller had nothing to do with.
Bessent preposterously claimed that “it is impossible…to understand what he [Trump] has been through,” and that that somehow justified his repulsive posthumous insult. And worse, Bessent declared that it is Trump who we all should feel sorry for at this time, rather than Mueller and his grieving family.
This is just plain sick. And it is further evidence of the severity of the cult indoctrination that is rampant in MAGA World. They can’t even express sympathy for a deceased American who spent a lifetime serving his country. Unlike Trump who took five phony deferments and got 34 felony convictions.
However, it’s typical of Trump who has nothing but animus toward patriots like Mueller. Trump has said similarly grotesque things about veterans such as senators John McCain and Mark Kelly. He has also insulted several generals who worked for him in his administration, including John Kelly, Jim Mattis, and Mark Milley.
As for disrespecting the dead, Trump said awful things following the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife. Reiner, while not a veteran, directed the military themed movie “A Few Good Men,” and was an advocate for veterans benefits, as well as other issues related to civil rights and democracy. But Trump maligned him as having been killed “due to the anger he caused others through his..TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”
This is all further evidence of the diseased mind of Trump – or what’s left of it. He is filled with rage and hatred. And he is incapable of common decency. And yet, his flunkies still seem to think that he is the one deserving of sympathy. Poor baby Trump has suffered so much by enriching himself at the expense of the American people, while viciously attacking his perceived enemies, and even legally persecuting them.
Consequently, no one is likely to be surprised by Trump’s contemptuous incivility. And therefore, no one should be surprised by the incivility directed at him when he finally descends into hell.
