Donald Trump's silence

Last edited Mon Feb 27, 2017, 10:22 AM - Edit history (1)

The so-called president has time to bitch and moan about all the little things that bother him. But when something important has happened in his own country, his silence is deafening. Nevertheless, it displays who he really is.

The bigotry, hatred and cultural ignorance displayed by this man are disgusting but he merely reflects the attitudes of far too many Americans.

are not happening. If the news reports it it is just more fake news .

The KC STAR needs to be added to the fake news papers. It has been covering the awful Olathe story for several days now. Big. Full front page stories. People here IN KCMO are horrified that this happened.

The blind ignorance and hatred of some of our countrymen saddens me. I had hoped that the Obama Presidency would have progressed us as a nation. Instead, the idiots have taken over.

11. Remember early in his campaign when two of his supporters beat a hispanic man?

And his only response was that his supporters were "passionate" and "loved their country"?

You are not making America great again. You are destroying its moral fabric. You are attacking democracy. You are deciding who matters and who doesn’t. You are spreading hate and fear daily. You may have tricked some people into believing you will be everyone’s president but you haven’t fooled me. Your silence says it all, and it’s disgusting.
