It's always been amusing to me how reporting the news of downturns in the personal affairs of politicians and celebrities is seen by those who adore them as "attacks." But reporting the same downturns on someone you don't like is.... news.
Funny how that works, isn't it?

Then they claim glee. That is not what I feel about Trump and his family of crooks. I feel sad for the country and worry about how much damage they will wind up doing. His incompetency and rashness are creating a real mess. His administration is a band of wealthy thieves destroying governing from the inside. How will we recover from this ?

He's been under investigation since at least February:

The deepstate swamp rats are doing everything to get rid of Trump because they know they're fucked.

he's a murderous bastard..why don't you ask Pakistan what they think of Brennan's drone campaign?

On one side are US officials who assert that the strikes kill few, if any, Pakistani civilians.
In June 2011, President Barack Obama's then-counterterrorism adviser John Brennan claimed improbably during a speech at the Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies "there hasn't been a single collateral death because of the exceptional proficiency, precision of the capabilities that we've been able to develop."
Two months later, U.S. officials speaking on condition of anonymity told the New York Times that around 50 civilians had been killed in drone strikes in Pakistan since the 9/11 attacks.
On the other side of the debate are Pakistani officials such as the country's powerful Interior Minister Rehman Malik, who asserted in 2012 that 80% of the people killed in drone strikes were civilians.
if they are signature strikes they are not even known targets. you do know sig strike?
It's where a "terrorist"is targeted without their identity being known, only their behavior ( signature) of acting like a terrorists..
It leads to horrific mis-targeting
US to continue 'signature strikes' on people suspected of terrorist links

Signature Strikes’ and the President’s Empty Rhetoric on Drones

On March 17, 2011, four Hellfire missiles, fired from a U.S. drone, slammed into a bus depot in the town of Datta Khel in Pakistan’s Waziristan border region. An estimated 42 people were killed. It was just another day in America’s so-called war on terror. To most Americans the strike was likely only a one-line blip on the evening news, if they even heard about it at all.''''
he attack was what has come to be called a “signature strike.” This is when the CIA or the military makes the decision to fire based not on who the targets are but on whether they are exhibiting suspicious patterns of behavior thought to be “signatures” of terrorists (as seen on video from the drone). Given that the CIA is killing people it’s never identified based on their behavior,
The New York Times quoted a senior State Department official as saying that when the CIA sees “three guys doing jumping jacks,” the agency thinks it is a terrorist training camp.
