Trump ignores child in wheelchair

[book_worm]

Here’s a video from the White House of Donald Trump greeting a group of people at the White House. As you can see, a young disabled child repeatedly reaches out to shake Trump’s hand as he moves down the row greeting everyone. Despite a repeated attempt to shake the hand of the man standing directly next to and eventually in front of him, Trump doesn’t even see the child, stepping toward the side door without ever even acknowledging him.

1. He can't see anything past his tummy

[Girard442]

2. "Lebensunwertes Leben"

Life unworthy of life. The man is a Nazi. The real thing.

[FM123]

3. Trumpy just disgusts me. What a miserable excuse for a human being!

[Grammy23]

4. Clueless. How could he not see that tiny outstretched hand?

And that child's voice calling out to MaMa right under his nose? He is without a doubt the most self absorbed dolt to ever occupy the White House. And by occupy, I mean in the sense of an outside invader occupying a territory. He has no right to even wipe his shoes on the doormat there much less LIVE there.

5. POS

[Iliyah]

6. UGH.

And the religious right supports him.

[LAS14]

7. Day after day we get number and number (that's the adjective "numb"). He's...

... going to wear us down to a new normal.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

8. Probably thinks the kid's contagious. nt

[Liberal In Texas]

9. Pure JERK. n/t

[oasis]

10. "Go away kid you bother me". W.C. Fields.

[narnian60]

11. Amazing.

I hate him even more. Didn't think that was possible.

[Dave Starsky]

25. My dislike of him is at the top of a sigmoid function.

Every day he does something even worse than the day before, but it moves my hatred meter less and less as it approaches the absolute maximum level of loathing.

[treestar]

27. LOL!

[3catwoman3]

33. Sigmoid function has some nifty double meaning potential...

...here, as it also is part of the large intestine, and we all know the job of that body part - moving $h!t along.

[genxlib]

12. Just Imagine

This is especially sad considering an easily imagined similar encounter with Obama.

Obama would have been on his knees greeting that child as equal human being.

[gratuitous]

13. Tough break for little Dylan

His friends call him Pickle. President Trump shook his mom's hand twice; what more do you want?

[smirkymonkey]

14. Grrrr! What a sick, miserable POS!!

There is no way he wasn't aware of that child reaching up to him. He ignored the child intentionally. What kind of cruel, hateful person does a thing like that. The man becomes more contemptible every day.

[Leith]

15. PINO Will Be Imitating and Mocking Him in 2 Days

cuz he's that kinda guy.

[blogslut]

16. What's weirder to me...

Is from the first moments of the video that BLOTUS put up on his Twitter page, that shows Tom Price bumping elbows with the little boy. What is that about?

If you want to see it then the quickest way is to go to his Twitter page, click the PHOTOS AND VIDEOS section on the left and scroll down. I'm not posting it here.

[Initech]

17. Could he be anymore of a colossal jackass?

[3catwoman3]

35. It is highly likely that he could be.

An opportunity for him to prove this will probably present itself all to soon.

[Floyd R. Turbo]

18. Well, the child is smaller than his

limo!

[mercuryblues]

19. they are from somewhere in SC

The mom is a special kind of trump loving stooped. She has a kid, in a wheelchair that is able to live at home because of the ACA and Medicaid. She wants ACA gone and Medicaid gutted. She believes that pre existing condition will be saved, despite none of the bills actually doing that. She wants Medicaid cut because it has grown to large. Her son gets specialized treatment once a year 900 miles away. She thinks that won't be cut? More like she thinks her benefits will stay the same, only brown people will lose help. Gee, if it weren't for all those brown kids in wheelchairs, she would get more help.

Ultimately, Weer said, she felt fairly confident that under the Senate Republican bill, preexisting conditions protections would be preserved, along with the ban on lifetime spending caps. Whether the legislation sufficiently accomplishes these goals is, in fact, subject to debate between supporters and critics.
No matter what, Weer said Obamacare had to go, and she, like Trump, believed Republicans who try to thwart that effort should be held accountable.
"If you can't get the job done, then search for employment elsewhere," Weer told a group of reporters outside the White House on Monday, referring to GOP lawmakers. "We're done with your excuses. You can't do the job, go home and we will find somebody else to come and take your place."

21. Dumb as a box of rocks

[lame54]

30. And selfish as a black hole

[Girard442]

23. Holy Cow! She is one short step away from drinking grape Kool-Aid from a tub. NT

[TeamPooka]

20. Obama would've given him a minute of special attention and personal time

[hibbing]

39. And got on his level

Kneel down to talk to the kid face to face. The video makes me sick.


Peace

[onenote]

22. If he had shaken that little hand it would have been obvious how small his own hands are.

[Dave Starsky]

28. The kid would have crushed him in his grip.

No way he can pull his hand grab stunt with someone who's not caught off guard.

[n2doc]

24. Fucking D-bag

But so typically Trump. If there is such a thing as anticlass (like antimatter), Trump is made of it.

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. There is a reason for this, trump thinks the disability the kid has will

rub off on him, plus anyone with a disability like that is less than human.

This is all in the diagnosis of trump, the person 45 million Americans worship.

[Lifelong Protester]

29. What a butthead.

Give the child your attention!

[Backwoodsrider]

31. whats the big deal?

I am a paraplegic after a motorcycle racing accident this is no big deal Trump has learned years ago to not be seen with a disabled person unless in the right circumstance where he would be taking specific time for the disabled say in a hospital or rahab setting. A popular person learns early on to avoid being seen with the disabled in public. Next.

[Cracklin Charlie]

32. I am slapping him through this screen!

He is a worthless piece of garbage!

[Bengus81]

34. Looks like she tells her kid to reach up again--here he comes!!...then Trump brushoff!! n/t

[Beaverhausen]

36. My husband is a nurse who cares for disabled kids. This breaks my heart

Poor baby. You know if it was Obama or Hillary he would have been given plenty of attention.

[Gothmog]

37. Trump is an asshole

[NastyRiffraff]

38. Remember when he mocked the disabled reporter?

Obviously he thinks the disabled, even a cute little kid, is beneath him.

[judesedit]

40. He's too busy ogling the teenage girls parts. He's so creepy.
