On Tuesday, President Donald Trump tweeted that he wanted to sue "everyone" involved in former special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation, whining that "Mueller’s statement to Congress that he did not see me to become the FBI Director (again), has been proven false," and "The whole deal was a total SCAM."
In short order, commenters on social media piled on as they tried to make sense of the president's latest peculiar rant.
