He's posting photographs of him meeting with mass shooting victims like it's a campaign rally

A thumps up, grinning Trump. damn


He’s posting photographs of him meeting with mass shooting victims like it’s a campaign rally. There’s nothing that exposes Donald Trump’s complete absence of humanity more than tragedy.

A normal president would have been somber and respectful and would have offered comforting words to the community and especially to the victims and their families, but that's not as much fun and would have required him to pay attention to someone else.

He is completely fucking tone deaf.

If I worked at that hospital, I'd have somehow arranged to trip while walking past him with a full bedpan.

I got a text from a friend who knows a nurse at the hospital told her that many of the women who were at the hospital wearing nurse uniforms did not work at the hospital. They showed up couple of hrs before Trump arrived. This was staged. That's why no reporters were allowed.

For some reason, I believe it. What kind of nurse or medical professional would be smiling in a situation like this. I am so outraged and disgusted. This is a new low even for him.

My wife is an occupational therapist working in a rural nursing home... all of her coworkers are college educated medical professionals, therapists and nurses... she comes home every day exhausted from the Trump assholes she works with. The only ones besides her who are not conservatives are immigrants from India. This hospital in Dayton is not rural like that but I doubt they would have to search very hard to find enough knuckleheads even in that field who would be delighted to pose for his photo ops.

Trump fancies himself a legend in his own mind. He staged a tableau where he is surrounded by adoring women worshippers, all of them touching him as if they are seeking his divine blessings.

It's not normal behavior. It's bizarre.

PROPAGANDA ALERT: The journalists traveling with @realDonaldTrump were not allowed to go into the hospital with him.

Any video of the event released by the White House will need to be viewed with extreme skepticism, as it will have been stage managed to make POTUS look good.

The only reason he went to Dayton is to get it on tape for his next campaign commercial. Even though they didn't want him there and they asked him not to come. Same thing with El Paso.
