Trump Just Lashed Out on Twitter at ‘True Trump Haters’ — ‘As Nasty as Possible!’
Donald Trump stepped up his attacks against special counsel Robert Mueller early Saturday morning, claiming Mueller’s recently released report “was written as nastily as possible” by “true Trump Haters.”
In a string of early morning tweets, Trump lashed out at Mueller calling him “highly conflicted” and once again declaring the special counsel’s investigation “the greatest Witch Hunt in U.S. political history.”
“Despite the fact that the Mueller Report should not have been authorized in the first place & was written as nastily as possible by 13 (18) Angry Democrats who were true Trump Haters, including highly conflicted Bob Mueller himself, the end result is No Collusion, No Obstruction!” Trump tweeted.

He also bashed the “Fake News Media” for trying to “stir up and anger” people with selective coverage:
The Fake News Media is doing everything possible to stir up and anger the pols and as many people as possible seldom mentioning the fact that the Mueller Report had as its principle conclusion the fact that there was NO COLLUSION WITH RUSSIA. The Russia Hoax is dead!

And he again celebrated the end of the “Witch Hunt” after touting how well the economy’s doing:
United States weekly jobless claims just hit a 50 year low. The economy is doing GREAT!

Trump had lashed out at Mueller early Friday one day after declaring the report cleared him of collusion and obstruction, claiming some statements about him in the document “are total bullshit” and deriding the more than 400-page document as the “Crazy Mueller Report.”
The comments came after Attorney General William Barr on Thursday released a redacted version of Mueller’s report. The more than 400-page document did not conclude there was a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, and neither implicated nor exonerated the president on obstruction of justice charges.
Mueller, however, detailed 10 “episodes” that raised questions of whether the president attempted to obstruct the investigation and open the possibility of future congressional probes.
“With respect to whether the President can be found to have obstructed justice by exercising his powers under Article II of the Constitution, we concluded that Congress has the authority to prohibit a President’s corrupt use of his authority in order to protect the integrity of the administration of justice,” Mueller wrote.
