Trump’s disgraceful Mueller comment: Letters to the Editor — March 25, 2026

The Issue: President Trump’s celebratory comment on the death of former FBI Director Robert Mueller.

On the same day President Trump signed an executive order blocking college football teams from playing at the same time as the Army-Navy game, he did a victory dance celebrating the passing of former FBI Director Robert Mueller (“Mueller is dead — & Don ‘glad,’ ” March 22).

As a Navy veteran, it warms my heart to know the commander-in-chief, who received five draft deferments, holds a football game in higher regard than the service of a true American patriot.

I offer a military salute to Mueller, and one requiring the use of one finger to Trump, who sat on the sidelines as Mueller served his nation with honor.

It’s difficult to mourn the death of a man who took an oath to protect America, then lied and, in my opinion, committed treason.

Mueller was a class act.

He did not abuse his position.

He followed the law and went after criminals, like Trump.

Of course Trump is glad he died — he was just one name on Trump’s list of people to seek retribution against while on his revenge tour.

Trump shouldn’t be president of the United States.

He should be in jail.

Mueller represented the gold standard of selfless public service.

His integrity, honesty, humility and competence were deeply admired and respected throughout government.

Sincerest condo­lences to Ann and the Mueller family.

Hallandale Beach, Fla.

Mueller now joins the late John McCain, John Dingell and Rob Reiner as people whose graves Trump has spat on.

Mueller enlisted to go into battle after the death of a friend in Vietnam, the same war Trump evaded.

He dedicated his life to law enforcement, serving his country with integrity.

Trump is not a small fraction of the man Mueller was.

What a terrible comment by Trump regarding Mueller.

He should focus on the betterment of the country, instead of berating others.

In his Second Inaugural Address, Abraham Lincoln sought to heal our nation after the Civil War, stating “With malice toward none, with charity for all.”

Now, our president reacts to the death of a veteran who fought in Vietnam with a post reading “I’m glad he’s dead.”

What will historians say about Trump?

He acted “with charity toward none and malice toward at least one.”

The Issue: Mayor Mamdani breaking his Ramadan fast with Muslim detainees in the Rikers Island jail.

What’s going on in New York City?

Why is no one complaining about Mayor Mamdani breaking his fast at Rikers (“ ‘Break fast’ & furious,” March 22)?

Every day he is pushing his religion into politics.

Recently, he even compared St. Patrick with the plight of Palestinians.

He is crossing the line between faith and state.

Why aren’t all the liberals who go after Christians when they mix religion and state complaining now?

It’s not quite “Breakfast at Tiffanys,” but “Breakfast at Rikers” is what’s in the mayor’s comfort zone.

The optics of breaking his fast with the prisoners versus not visiting officers injured in the recent ISIS-inspired attack at Gracie Mansion is not his best look.

To add further insult, he was accompanied by Yusef Salam of the Central Park Five, who was exonerated in the savage rape of a jogger in 1989.
