Donald Trump again cried “WITCH HUNT!” on Twitter on Tuesday, apparently referring to Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged collusion between the president’s 2016 campaign and Russian efforts to interfere in the election.
A witch hunt is when a movement fueled by prejudice and bereft of material evidence results in bloodlust. Your use of the term here is incorrect. A better example might be if, say, you tried to convince the world that a sitting president wasn’t American simply because he’s black.

This witch hunt sure is catching a lot of witches.

Reminder that Trump supporters seem to think "witch hunt" means being hunted by witches. pic.twitter.com/6arVFvHG5L

Is this a witch hunt? No. Am I a witch currently using witchcraft to actively hunt the President? Yes.

I’m starting to think that Trump doesn’t really understand the meaning of the phrase “witch hunt.”

It's not a witch hunt, it's a traitor hunt and Mueller is getting closer all the time. Resign and move to Russia, if Putin will have you.
