Independent journalist Alex Cole sarcastically urged people to show the same respect toward the deceased that Trump displayed after Robert Mueller's death, a clear reference to Trump's since-widely condemned social media post celebrating the former FBI director's passing. Mueller, who led the special counsel investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, died in March at age 81, prompting Trump to write, "Good, I'm glad he's dead," a comment that drew bipartisan backlash. Cole's remark lands amid renewed public debate over decorum following Sen. Lindsey Graham's recent death, using Trump's own words as an ironic standard for measuring appropriate reactions to political deaths.
