Trump was asked to respond to Roseanne's racist tweets. He made the incident about himself.

Trump administration officials' claim that they were too busy to weigh in on racist comments Tuesday made by one of their most famous supporters stood in sharp contrast with how this White House has responded to other news developments regarding race.

President Trump did finally find time a full day into the controversy, tweeting Wednesday:




When Roseanne Barr, the former star of the hit ABC show “Roseanne” made headlines Tuesday for a string of racist, sexist and Islamophobic tweets that led to the cancellation of her show, the backlash was severe — even from conservatives.

The White House initially chose not to weigh in on the story.

I'm trying to think of any situation he hasn't turned around to make about him, and I can't think of any. Everything is about him. He's a narcissist's narcissist.

Seems to be their sole motivating factor besides hurting people who are "different" than them.
