As he was leaving the El Paso hospital, Trump was asked what he had seen:
“The love, the respect for the office of the presidency. I wish you could have been in there to see it. I wish you could have been in there.”
I know it’s said a lot but there is something deeply, disturbingly wrong with this man.

Hell, I wish I could see Trump’s respect for the office of the presidency, for the constituiton, for the country…well, for anything other than his worthless self.
Well, people have tried to give him credit for the shootings. But I guess that’s not – good – enough!

Response??? What response? So far he’s read a teleprompter speech, denounced all kinds of supremacies, and flown out for private photo ops where he make the grinning thumbs-up things with nurses and cops. He wants a medal for that?

Maybe it would shut him the fuck up. Even a few minutes would be a relief.

Not just a medal. He wants the Nobel Prize for that.
I’m familiar with him as a pundit, usual on MSNBC. He’s one of the few people who has seen Trump’s tax returns, although it was many years ago. Had to do with Trump suing him. IIRC, part of the settlement was he can’t talk about the returns but I may have that wrong.
From Wikipedia :
O’Brien has written two nonfiction books: 1998’s Bad Bet: The Inside Story of the Glamour, Glitz, and Danger of America’s Gambling Industry (ISBN 0-8129-2807-5) and 2005’s TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald (ISBN 978-1422366189).
…
TrumpNation is notable for its claim that celebrity real estate mogul Donald Trump was worth no more than $250 million (USD). Trump, who claimed at the time to be a billionaire and who has built a reputation upon his wealth, filed suit against O’Brien and Warner Books on January 23, 2006. On July 15, 2009, the suit was dismissed by a New Jersey judge.[1] Trump appealed, but the dismissal was upheld by an appeals court on September 7, 2011.[2]
O’Brien is also a contributing, on-air analyst with NBC/MSNBC where he frequently appears to discuss politics and national affairs.

Gotta wonder if Individual #1 is worried about what was found in Jeff Epstein’s safe.
Myself, I think he started out as a ‘client’ and probably ended up as a sort or weird business partner. Trump had ‘modeling’ agencies. Uh huh.
Epsteins… depravity would tie in nicely with Trumps ‘Modeling Agency’ (Mother Jones Link) And not to forget Miss Teen USA
Just IMHO.
All of the stories I’ve heard indicated that reporters were not allowed to join Trump when he met with people at the hospital. They were told that the White House didn’t want a solemn moment to be turned into a photo op - then went ahead and released their own pictures of Trump meeting with people.
(Obviously, the real concern was what people might have said to him, and his utter inability to express empathy.)

And they wanted to control the content of any video.
But they couldn’t control Trump’s ego:
Trump laments coverage as aides concede visits to mourning cities didn’t go as planned
Some of President Donald Trump’s own aides conceded Thursday that his visits to two cities in mourning did not go as planned, as a new video revealed he bragged about crowd sizes while visiting patients at an El Paso hospital.
“That was some, that was some crowd,” Trump said, according to cell phone video from one attendee. “And we had twice the number outside. And then you had this crazy Beto. Beto had like 400 people in a parking lot, they said his crowd was wonderful.”
White House officials blocked reporters and their cameras from entering the two hospitals during his visits to Ohio and Texas this week, a move they said was out of respect for the patients’ privacy. But according to one person familiar with the President’s reaction, **the President lashed out at his staff for keeping the cameras away from him, complaining that he wasn’t receiving enough credit. **Aides had feared a moment like the one that is now going viral — where the President appears to focus on himself in front of those still recovering from a tragedy.
[my bold]
As always, poor Trump is the aggrieved one.

He wants a Nobel Peace Prize for that.
ETA: Whoopsie. Ninja’d
OMG, that transcription of the viral video is everything. Holy fucking shit.
I’ll nominate him for a Nobel Prize if he will shut up the rest of his term. (preferably short term)

An out there porn star when the dog didn’t like peanut butter… or Trump, since he doesn’t like pet animals (animals are not sycophants).

More like the classic temperamental actor.
You give him too much credit.
No prob. Great minds.
That would certainly be the best thing he could do to promote world peace, national peace, and peace of mind for many Americans and aspiring Americans.

To quote a pundit whose words I read in the last day or two; Trump wants to be the bride at every wedding, the baby at every christening, and the corpse at every funeral.
