The article discusses the President of the United States, Donald Trump, who has been known for his contempt for people he dislikes, and how this behavior has led to silence in the Republican Party. The author points out that when former FBI Director Robert Mueller died, the party no longer takes action. In a post about Mueller's death, Trump commented on his relief at Mueller's passing, stating that he was glad to see him dead. Other Republicans, however, have largely ignored these comments, believing in Trump's narcissistic view that he is entitled to celebrate people's deaths as he is the real victim. In other instances, the parents of Captain Humayun Khan, a Muslim American soldier who died serving in Iraq, were met with criticism, and in 2020, Congressman John Lewis, a hero of the civil rights movement, died of cancer at 80. In response to this, Trump criticized the death of former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and former White House director Rob Reiner, calling him a "classic RINO" and "deranged person".
