Something that got a lot of press was President Trump's reaction to the death
00:00:03
of Robert Mueller. Former FBI director, special counsel, and Bronstar Marine veteran. He died this weekend at the age
00:00:09
of 81. While former presidents Bush and Obama share their tributes to him, Trump
00:00:13
went the other direction posting, "I'm glad he's dead." It's another gross,
00:00:17
chaotic, mentally deranged madness of King George moment. That's I was like,
00:00:22
can you just shut the [ __ ] up and not give us your thoughts on every awful thing that crosses your increasingly
00:00:28
aging brain? Thank you. >> If you want an actual template for masculinity, you could do a lot worse
00:00:34
than Robert Mueller. This was a guy. He was a Marine in Vietnam. By the way, he volunteered. He didn't avoid deferments,
00:00:42
no bone spurs. Marine in Vietnam, where he earned a bronze star, went on to lead
00:00:47
the FBI for over a decade. And then later in his career, he took on one of the most politically radioactive
00:00:54
investigations in modern history. And how did he handle it? There was no theatrics. There was no personal
00:01:00
branding. There was no need to be at the center of the story. He just did the job. And this guy was real strength.
00:01:06
It's quiet. It's showing up. It's doing hard things. And it's not making
00:01:11
everything about you. And I found it so upsetting that this guy who's such an
00:01:16
outstanding role model and such a fantastic example of what it means to be an American and what it means to be a
00:01:22
man that his family would have to endure that nonsense.
