Donald Trump on Wednesday defended distributing a Photoshopped image that showed 11 of his foes in a prison cell together, including current Daputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
A New York Post reporter asked the president, 'Why do you think he belongs behind bars?'
'He should have never picked a special counsel,' Trump responded.
The president had hours earlier retweeted a series of posts from a fan account, including the cartoonish image that also depicts Special Counsel Robert Mueller joining nine prominent Democrats in lockup.
'NOW THAT THE RUSSIA COLLUSION IS A PROVEN LIE, WHEN DO THE TRIALS FOR TREASON BEGIN,' its caption reads.
President Trump used his Twitter account on Wednesday to forward posts from a fan account, including a graphic that depicted his Democratic opponents in prison, along with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein
This image from 'The Trump Train' includes 9 of Trump's partisan opponents behind bars, and shows Robert Mueller (far left) and Rosenstein (3rd from left, back row) joining them
Trump has long resented Rosenstein for hiring Mueller to investigate the unproven allegation that campaign aides in 2016 colluded with Russian agents to tilt the election in the president's favor
Among the 'imprisoned' Democrats in the collage are former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton; Hillary Clinton, her former campaign chairman John Podesta and top aide Huma Abedin; former Attorney Generals Loretta Lynch and Eric Holder; and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
Trump has long resented Rosenstein for hiring Mueller to investigate the unproven allegation that campaign aides in 2016 colluded with Russian agents to tilt the election in the president's favor.
The special counsel appointment became inevitable after Trump fired Comey last year. That followed a decision by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to recuse himself from the matter because he was a Trump campaign adviser and investigators could consider him a witness.
Trump has grumbled publicly and exploded privately about Sessions' move, saying he never warned him before he got the job that the recusal would be part of the deal.
Another tweet from the 'Trump Train' account that the president forwarded to his 56 million followers on Wednesday claimed that illegal immigrants in the U.S. 'can get up to $3,874 a month under Federal Assistance program[s].'
'Our social security checks are on average $1200 a month,' the message said, asking for retweets 'if you agree: If you weren't born in the United States, you should receive $0 assistance.'
The $3,784 figure comes from a September 2017 Facebook post that quickly went viral because it showed a document listing government benefits extended to a non-native family of five – in Canada.
The president retweeted a claim from the same fan account that 'Illegals can get up to $3,784 a month under Federal Assistance Program[s]
That claim referred to a single case in Canada that concerned a refugee family of five, and most of the expenses were one-time startup costs
The total amount listed by Canada's Refugee Resettlement Agency applied to five people; most of it was not paid monthly.
$1,960 was classified as 'start-up allowances.' Another $375 was designated a loan for an apartment security deposit. And $150 was called a 'school start-up allowance' for dependent children.
In all, $1,399 was terms 'regular monthly benefits.'
Those figures, first unraveled by the Snopes website, were in Canadian dollars.
In two more posts that the president retweeted, the nameless owner of the 'Trump Train' account vented about General Motors' plant closures and news coverage of the migrant crisis on the U.S.-Mexico border.
'Will CNN ever ask Border Patrol agents how they felt having large rocks chucked at them by criminal illegals?' one asks.
The other criticized the Detroit automaker for depending on the federal Treasury for its recovery after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in 2009.
'If GM doesn't want to keep their jobs in the United States, they should pay back the $11.2 billion bailout that was funded by the American taxpayer,' the writer jabbed.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
