Trump is currently being investigated by the FBI, the Justice Department, and a special counsel, Robert Mueller, who was once the director of the FBI. Trump calls these investigations <em>&#8220;witch hunts&#8221;<\/em> despite having already produced dozen of indictments and five guilty pleas.<\/p>\n<p>He has publicly insulted his own Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, and FBI Director Chris Wray, all of whom he appointed. And even though he has occasionally differentiated the FBI rank and file from their leadership, perhaps he is still reluctant to give any of them any credit while the investigations are in progress.<\/p>\n<p>In Trump&#8217;s mind it might be easier to malign the FBI if he is indicted, or otherwise implicated in criminal activity, if he hasn&#8217;t already praised them on their anniversary. So screw &#8217;em. What doesn&#8217;t benefit Donald Trump isn&#8217;t deserving of recognition. That&#8217;s the Trump Way.
