Trump criticized for ‘patronizing’ praise of hero in El Paso shooting: ‘You could be a movie star the way you look’


President Trump’s compliment — “You could be a movie star, the way you look” — to an Army soldier who saved children during the El Paso shooting, wasn’t universally flattering.

On Wednesday, the president and first lady Melania Trump flew to Dayton, Ohio where 9 people were shot and killed Sunday, and El Paso, Texas where 22 died after a gunman’s spree at Walmart, to congratulate first responders.

Fort Bliss U.S. Army specialist Glendon Oakley, who scooped up as many children as he could carry during the gunfire, met Trump.

1. Love the "Seriously?" look...

[Skittles]

2. love Glendon's expression

like he is looking at an insect in a jar

[DURHAM D]

3. Saw that yesterday.

I thought Oakley was thinking "Eat shit and die".

Also, the woman in the middle was on camera a lot and she looked at the floor the whole time. You could tell she did not want to be there.

14. Honestly, I don't think any of those in that shot "wanted" to be there, but yeah, the woman

clearly DID not and looking down was the most professional thing she could do, i guess.

That heroic man deserved so much better. But he was sending Trump a mental "truth package" that's for sure.

4. As if being a heroic Soldier is not good enough?

God I hate that man. Looks like the Private may as well. He had no choice but to be there.

5. "Don't hand me that shit."

...

7. +1

6. More paralyzing stupidity from the fattish but active man...

[BootinUp]

8. Trump has the tact of a rusty blade. Nt

[Hekate]

9. You do know that's how DTs picks nominees for federal office, up to & including SCOTUS?

"Well he looks like a judge should look." It's also how he picks out hookers: "You remind me of my daughter Ivanka."

In his mind he's still in a reality tv show, choosing actors for parts. He thinks he is acting like a president.

Christ on a trailer hitch, if that man were any shallower...

10. "You could be a movie star AND GET PAID for scooping up children, instead of this free shit!"

[IcyPeas]

11. Glendon Oakley was so distraught with emotion when it happened

OMG you could feel his adrenaline. he truly jumped into action. He is a soldier and he said this was he worst thing he's ever been through.

and bonespurs tells him he could be a movie star

[LuvNewcastle]

12. As if that was the ultimate compliment.

I guess that is the ultimate compliment from a model-screwing gameshow host.

[live love laugh]

13. Petty distracting complaint. nt

[Fyrefox]

15. Zero depth, as usual

Trump judges most people by how they look, especially females, which often shapes his playground-level taunts of any opposition or those who fail to be fawning submissives. And the expression of Glendon speaks volumes...

[Vinca]

16. I commend Mr. Oakley for his self control. He should get a medal for it.

[denbot]

20. If he had Trump would take it away.

Just saying..

17. The look on his face speaks volumes. K&R

18. Must... Not... Choke... Orange... Fool... nt

19. Appearance is what matters most to con men, morons and racists.

Character, abilities and actions, not so much.

Putin and the GOP foisted the worst person in the world upon America.

21. "Fort Bliss U.S. Army specialist Glendon Oakley"

He's wearing PFC insignia, not that of a specialist. Not that it really matters, I guess, but they should have gotten his rank correct.

[StarfishSaver]

22. His expression is all of us

At least the sane ones.
