Trump is an evil, vicious, heartless, husk.
In the midst of a national crisis and a global pandemic that has already killed tens of thousands around the world and 458 Americans, Trump mocks Senator Mitt Romney's potential infection with coronavirus at 0:22 of this clip. Senator Romney...a Christian of deep faith, a family man, a former GOP Presidential candidate, a former Governor, a pillar of decency, and a SITTING US SENATOR!
Here is Trump laid bare. He discovers from a reporter's question that Senator Romney is in isolation. (Yes, he didn't know a senior Senator from his own party is in isolation for suspected COVID19, which reveals his profound ignorance.) His response to the news is a snarky, smarmy, wisecrack so unfit for the mouth of a US President that's it's hard for me to type it out....he said, "Gee, that's too bad!"
The dig goes nearly unnoticed. The supposed moral keel of this administration--VP Mike Pence--doesn't flinch. The reporter doesn't stop his line of inquiry to say, "I'm sorry sir, did you just mock Senator Romney's possible infection with COVID19?"

Nobody.
Does.
Anything.
Because this Frankenpresident bolted together by the GOP and electrified by FoxNews, The Daily Caller, Breitbart, the KKK, and 40 million vapid voters has hacked America's sense of decency down so far that these inhumane comments are now normal.
Were any of the ethical journalists, the ones who called him out at the Peter Alexander bashing, attending this press conference?
ReplyDeleteIn Sunday’s New York Times, Peter Baker and Maggie Haberman, put it succinctly: “Mr. Trump’s performance on the national stage in recent weeks has put on display the traits that Democrats and some Republicans consider so jarring - the profound need for personal praise, the propensity to blame others, the lack of human empathy, the penchant for rewriting history [in real time during these press conference/re-election rallies] the disregard for expertise, the distortion of facts, the impatience with scrutiny or criticism. For years, skeptics expressed concern about how he would handle a crisis, and now they know.”
It’s all about him.
