At a Commencement address, Drumpf offered plagiarized words and an inappropriate condemnation by whining that he was being picked on.

Donald Trump Lashes Out At ‘Witch Hunt’ After Special Prosecutor Named
“This is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!” he said.
President Donald Trump on Thursday lashed out after the Justice Department’s decision to appoint a special counsel to oversee the investigation into Russian influence in the 2016 presidential election, calling the overall scrutiny of his team “the single greatest witch hunt” in U.S. political history.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller on Wednesday evening to serve as a special prosecutor in the case after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey, who had been leading the investigation into Russia’s role in the election until his sudden dismissal last week.
Trump’s tweets follow a statement he issued directly after Rosenstein’s announcement.
“As I have stated many times, a thorough investigation will confirm what we already know ― there was no collusion between my campaign and any foreign entity,” Trump’s statement said. “I look forward to this matter concluding quickly. In the meantime, I will never stop fighting for the people and the issues that matter most to the future of our country.”
The White House reportedly found out about Rosenstein’s decision to appoint a special prosecutor with less than an hour’s notice.
Rosenstein said in his Wednesday announcement that, “based upon the unique circumstances, the public interest requires me to place this investigation under the authority of a person who exercises a degree of independence from the normal chain of command.” But his decision to appoint Mueller, he stressed, “is not a finding that crimes have been committed or that any prosecution is warranted.”
CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article said Robert Mueller was appointed Tuesday. It was Wednesday.
This is lengthy but well worth reading:
The Trump Presidency Falls Apart
After an extraordinary 10 days, the tenure of the chief executive may have deteriorated beyond his ability to repair it.
After an astonishing week of revelations, Donald Trump’s presidency appears to be on the verge of collapse.
Consider what has happened just in the last 10 days: a string of damaging stories about a president unprecedented since at least the Nixon administration.
On May 8, former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates appeared before Congress, offering testimony under oath that contradicted White House statements about Michael Flynn’s firing as national-security adviser, and which indicated Trump had waited 18 days after learning Flynn had lied to the vice president and might be subject to Russian blackmail before firing him.
