by Natasha Guzmán

Donald Trump's campaign has had a catastrophic past three weeks. While the businessman has been embroiled in a seemingly endless list of scandals during the entire election, the slew of controversies he faced in October have hit his campaign harder than any previous stories, and have almost completely eliminated his chances of winning on Nov. 8. Well, it looks like Trump and his supporters are celebrating the FBI's decision to look into whether there is any connection between the agency's investigation of Hillary Clinton's emails and newly-discovered messages on a computer owned by former Congressman Anthony Weiner and Clinton aide Huma Abedin. These nine #Weinergate tweets show just how elated they are to hand another scandal to Clinton.

During a rally in Lisbon, Maine, on Oct. 29, Trump and his supporters couldn't sound more enthusiastic about the unfolding scandal. "As you might've heard earlier today, the FBI —" at this point the crowd interrupted his speech with loud cheers, and he continued, "after discovering new emails, is reopening their investigation into Hillary Clinton."

The excitement of Trump's supporters isn't limited to his rallies. They can be found rejoicing all over social media. Check out nine examples from the #WeinerGate hashtag on Twitter:
