All fake news, based on unnamed sources, but what the hell, 90% of what’s posted on FR these days is either blog or fake news crap.
WaPo is the source of this nonsense: “Trump has ranted about Rosenstein as “a Democrat,” one of these advisers said,”
Go find this “advisor”, get them to show their face and say it on the record, and then maybe it will be worth talking about here.
Otherwise: More fake news.
Actually Trump’s own words from his interview when Rosenstein first appointed Mueller speak volumes about how he feels about them both:

Mr. Trump was also critical of Mr. Mueller, a former F.B.I. director, reprising some of his past complaints that lawyers in his office contributed money to Mrs. Clinton’s campaign. He noted that he actually interviewed Mr. Mueller to replace Mr. Comey just before his appointment as special counsel.
“He was up here and he wanted the job,” Mr. Trump said. After he was named special counsel, “I said, ‘What the hell is this all about?’ Talk about conflicts. But he was interviewing for the job. There were many other conflicts that I haven’t said, but I will at some point.”
The president also expressed discontent with Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, a former federal prosecutor from Baltimore. When Mr. Sessions recused himself, the president said he was irritated to learn where his deputy was from. “There are very few Republicans in Baltimore, if any,” he said of the predominantly Democratic city.
He complained that Mr. Rosenstein had in effect been on both sides when it came to Mr. Comey. The deputy attorney general recommended Mr. Comey be fired but then appointed Mr. Mueller, who may be investigating whether the dismissal was an obstruction of justice. “Well, that’s a conflict of interest,” Mr. Trump said. “Do you know how many conflicts of interests there are?”
some days it's downright depressing to read all the crap headlines here.
Closer to idle speculation than fake news.
