Trump claims he suffers 'highest level of Presidential Harassment in history', despite assassination of four previous presidents

Donald Trump has claimed he suffers the “highest level” of presidential harassment in American history, despite four of his predecessors having been assassinated.

“There is nothing we can ever give to the Democrats that will make them happy,” he wrote on Twitter. ”This is the highest level of Presidential Harassment in the history of our Country!”

Mr Trump’s claim came despite the fact that four previous presidents have been killed, and two more were shot but survived. Almost all recent presidents have undergone the same kind of legal challenges and investigations that Mr Trump is objecting to.

The president and his aides have repeatedly attempted to claim that he is being subjected to “presidential harassment”. For months, Republicans have been suggesting that it is wrong to ask questions of the president and, Mr Trump claimed that asking questions of the president ”really does hurt our country”.

The new tweet came amid his continuing objection to Democrats who are asking to see the full Mueller report, in an attempt to understand any wrongdoing that it may have uncovered. It was posted very soon after another post in which he said that “few people seem to care” about alleged collusion with Russians and that his opponents should turn their attention elsewhere.

“According to polling, few people seem to care about the Russian Collusion Hoax, but some Democrats are fighting hard to keep the Witch Hunt alive,” he wrote in that earlier tweet. ”They should focus on legislation or, even better, an investigation of how the ridiculous Collusion Delusion got started – so illegal!”

In a similar post to the one in which he suggested he is being harassed more than presidents who died in office, sent two days earlier, he had made the same suggestion that nothing would satisfy Democrats on that Russia probe.

“In 1998, Rep.Jerry Nadler strongly opposed the release of the Starr Report on Bill Clinton,” he wrote in that tweet. “No information whatsoever would or could be legally released. But with the NO COLLUSION Mueller Report, which the Dems hate, he wants it all. NOTHING WILL EVER SATISFY THEM!”

The president’s run of posts came amid a busy morning on Twitter, in which he posted about the economy as well as an apparently unconnected post about his own party. “THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS THE PARTY OF THE AMERICAN DREAM!” he wrote in his first tweet of the morning.
