What am I seeing here that is incorrect and/or terrible? Perhaps your interpretation of it is slightly different.
What exactly is he supposed to be doing in a situation like that?
I think I’ve heard at least two news show commentators call Trump a sociopath in the last couple days because of the photo.
A Google search confirms David Brooks on the PBS News Hour (video clip on this page). I think the second was on Saturday Night Politics that’s hosted by Donny Deutsch.
Some context to explain a bit, the child was there with his uncle (who is now caring for him since the child’s parents are dead). He himself is a Trump supporter and brought the child there specifically to show his support. Trump is pleased to find someone that close to the tragedy who is still a fan of his.
That explains it, it doesn’t make it okay at all. Even a tiny bit. A “leader” with even a drop of integrity would recognize how somber such a situation is, and would express anything other than enthusiastic cheer for the photo op. I mean, what the ever-loving Hell, man?!
How do you (YOU not Trump) make it through daily life without having a hint of a clue?
Trump has people to help him with the day-to-day human bullshit. He still fails at it, but he has people to help with that. I assume you have some similar set up.
Trump’s funeral is literally the only funeral I can think of where it would not only be worth while to change your ring tone to McDonald’s “Ba-Da-Ba-Ba-Ba, I’m Lovin’ It”, but worth while to arrange to have someone
call you repeatedly during the service…
Thank you, but I can’t take credit for it. I had a few windows open at once and one played a commercial clip and another showed a trailer with Anne Hathaway smiling.
All I did was ask myself, “What would make Anne Hathaway smile?”
So really, She deserves all the credit…
When Trump’s funeral does occur, I can guarantee it won’t be like any other President’s or like someone well-respected like John McCain’s.
I imagine that only his family, some close associates, and the hardcore of his base would be there (maybe outside whatever televangelist church it’s being held at, paying
their “respect”), and depending on how bad his presidency ends up, even a lot of them may be gone by them–he certainly hasn’t been doing farmers any favors with his trade wars.
Foreign dignitaries? Well, maybe from Russia, N. Korea, Saudia Arabia, and a few other authoritarians states.
