Trump acknowledges "great hero"..."you all know who he is" (he can't remember his name).

He’s a hero but the so-called President #DonaldTrump couldn’t remember his name seconds after meeting him??
It’s Army Private Glen Oakley. 🙄#ElPasoStrong

This is Glen Oakley. He was in the @FootLocker when the El Paso shooting happened. When he ran to leave, he saw kids in the mall without their parents, scared and alone.

So he picked up as many as he could and carried them to safety.

Focus on the heroes.

1. Okay.

I'll give him a pass on this. I blank on names fairly often. It is a senior moment thing.

[John Fante]

5. I'll give you a pass.

The asshole who calls himself a stable genius and says he has "one of the great memories of all time"? Not so much.

11. Agreed- and I'll ask the dust for redemption on that point

trying not to throw up.

3. "He called himself The Dude," Trump added.

"I only mention it because sometimes there's a man... I won't say a hero, 'cause, what's a hero? But sometimes, there's a man. And I'm talkin' about the Dude here. Sometimes, there's a man, well, he's the man for his time and place. He fits right in there. And that's the Dude, in El Paso. And even if he's a lazy man - and the Dude was most certainly that. Quite possibly the laziest in El Paso County, which would place him high in the runnin' for laziest worldwide. But sometimes there's a man, sometimes, there's a man. Aw. I lost my train of thought here. But... aw, hell. I've done introduced him enough."

4. I forget names pretty quickly, too

But knowing that, I've come up with a foolproof method of getting the name: I tell the person that my swiss cheese memory is terrible with names, and could the person please tell me again? It works every freakin' time!

6. Of course not please he is black & trump doesn't care -get real

He got kids out of the way and risked his life thank you Glen Oakley
Had to show the police he had a full gun and was not the shooter .
Really any black hero there was possibly taking 2 chances

There was another black man who tried to stop the shooter but got shot by the killer and is hospitalized his story is below

2 Heroes that made a difference

9. IQ45 didn't want to

give him too much credit because after seeing him he's pi$$ed that he didn't take the kids and himself back to where they came from!

10. I'm glad I wasn't the only one who noticed.

That poor man looked like he wanted to crawl out of his skin.
