President Trump blasted special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s election interference Thursday as a “coup.”
“This was a coup,” Trump said on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show. “This was an attempted overthrow of the United States government.”
Later in the interview, Trump compared the probe to the Watergate scandal which resulted in former President Nixon’s resignation.
“Bigger than Watergate,” Trump said. “Because it means so much. This was a coup. This wasn’t stealing information from an office in the Watergate apartments, this was an attempted coup.”

The president later added that the investigation into Russian interference was something that would happen in “a third world country.”

When the enforcement of the rule of law and the defense of the country is characterized as an "a coup", "an attempted overthrow of the United States government" by the president of the US the one thing we know is he is a traitor. The greatest betrayal in our history. https://t.co/vIzQYGVuCt

Drama queen.
He’s becoming more and more unhinged as more of his behavior is exposed. It’s obvious that aside from his lack of morality he has serious mental health issues.
