Twitter users jumped on President Donald Trump on Sunday after he declared that he is an "innocent man" who is being persecuted by "bad" people.
The president made the assertion in a series of tweets on Sunday morning.
After more than two years of Presidential Harassment, the only things that have been proven is that Democrats and other broke the law. The hostile Cohen testimony, given by a liar to reduce his prison time, proved no Collusion! His just written book manuscript showed what he.....

...said was a total lie, but Fake Media won’t show it. I am an innocent man being persecuted by some very bad, conflicted & corrupt people in a Witch Hunt that is illegal & should never have been allowed to start - And only because I won the Election! Despite this, great success!

Trump's declaration was met with mockery on Twitter. More than one person noted the similarities between's Trump's statement and President Richard Nixon's insistence that he was "not a crook."
Read some of the responses below.
“I am not a crook.”
—Richard Nixon
“I am an innocent man.”

His embrace of fake victimhood is nauseating...and, frankly, pathetic

Rule of Law investigations start because of a crime. Investigating people to find a crime because you don’t like them is an abuse of power, wrong and what happens in a socialistic military state! Glad I could clear up the confusion for you!

You have to be kidding us right? Countless convictions, history of fraud (trump charitable foundations, trump u) this man legally can’t run a charity or University because of fraud but can run our country? I find it baffling that people still act like he hasn’t broken the law.

Getting wanked nightly by Hannity, Tucker and Pirro is not news. It’s pathetic propaganda. Fox is horrible. The documents don’t lie. You’re a fraud.

Trump just said his biggest lie ever:
“I am an innocent man.”
Nice Nixon moment, @realdonaldtrump— Scott Dworkin (@funder) March 3, 2019
Innocent?
You operated a fraudulent university that stole millions from Americans.
You operated a fraudulent charity as a personal slush fund.
You violated campaign finance law by paying hush money to porn stars.
And that's just the start, Donald.— MatthewDicks (@MatthewDicks) March 3, 2019
