Trump gets taunted after complaining about 'presidential harassment'
As is his wont, President Trump kicked off the day with a tweet. And as usual, it has sent the internet into a frenzy.
Though it’s unclear what prompted the fiery missive — the Mueller investigation? Nancy Pelosi’s clapping? — Trump didn’t mince his words as he railed against “presidential harassment.”
PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT! It should never be allowed to happen again!

If he was looking for sympathy, he was out of luck. Many commenters took the opportunity to cite the president’s own behavior, from being accused of sexual misconduct by several women, to attacking his political foes online, to questioning former President Barack Obama’s American citizenship.

Don't you dare talk about harassment. You have been harassing people your whole life. Sexually, legally, and illegally

You lying, obtuse, racist, white supremacist, orange clown show. You spent years trying to delegitimize the first Black president with your racist birther crap and all your other lies. You harassed him because he’s Black, you pathetic bigot.

Several celebrities also joined the fray.
Then STOP harassing people. You relentlessly harassed President Obama with your lie that he wasnt born in America. #PresidentialHarassment

And even “Satan,” “Jesus Christ” and “Lucifer” found common ground in taunting Trump.
Yes and don't forget the dozens of women Trump sexually harassed.

Best collaboration since Job.

Still, the president’s supporters made sure he knew they had his back.
Stay strong President Trump. I pray for you every day. Despite all of this harassment you have still accomplished more than any previous President.

The American people have our President’s back!
Don’t tread on us.

By Congress to continue they're further investigations it is a total disrespect and harassment on Trump and his supporters

Ultimately, if the president was feeling harassed before, he’ll want to steer clear of his mentions.
