Earlier today, President Trump criticized the media for their manner of coverage following the release of the controversial Mueller probe.

Reviewing the President's Concerns

Via Twitter, Trump articulated his concerns about the mainstream media's coverage of the probe.

The tweet in question reads as follows:

A Backstory on the Mueller Investigation Release

The release of the Russia investigation has dominated headlines. Despite the results, different Americans have various outlooks and perspectives. Many conservatives and other members of the right-wing maintain that Trump was right all along; no obstruction, no collusion with Russia, etc.

However, not all Americans share this perspective. Many progressives and liberals have opined that the Mueller probe does not actually clear the president. Democrats have also raised questions about whether or not Trump obstructed justice while the investigation remained underway. This is something which Mueller's probe has not managed to confirm or deny.

As such, Congressional Democrats claim that they have a responsibility to investigate accordingly. In order to carry out the investigations which Democrats have deemed as appropriate, they are now moving to impeach President Trump....yet again.

Rep. Ocasio-Cortez then followed up with an explanation behind her decision:

As one might imagine, newfound talk of impeaching the president has not gone over well with conservatives and Trump supporters.

Conservative Criticism of the Democrats

The release of the Mueller probe has engendered not only Trump's criticism of the media, but also right-wing censure of the left-wing. In a nutshell, conservatives believe that Democrats simply want President Trump to be guilty of something no matter what. The left's vows to "resist" Trump and their repeated attempts to impeach him from office have fueled conservatives' concerns.

During the Russia probe, Democrats ongoingly maintained that Trump colluded with Russia and would face indictment and impeachment. Shortly after news of the Mueller probe's conclusion (and reports that Trump wouldn't face indictments), Democrats pursued a new angle.
