Why The Hell is Trump not listing name by name all those

who were attacked today... Instead he chose to group all the victims under the category of High Govt Officials..
Barack and Michelle Obama are not High Govt. Officials... Hillary and Bill Clinton are also not High ranking govt. officials..John Brennan is another. Yet Trump was and is able to get away with his lying crap.. He has such disdain for Dems right now that he's still capable of anything..

His speech tonight is simply disgusting! High Govt. Officials!!! Fuck Him!

This supports the meme that others (read that dems) are trying to destroy his government. It's not that he doesn't want to say their names...it's that by NOT saying "high govt officials" they think he's talking about CURRENT government.

He is such an asshat.

He knows that there are millions upon who millions of voters who love Bill, Barack, Michelle and Hillary. He simply does not want to give them any space in his closed sick fucking world.

I already heard one guy in line at the post office today say that he thought the only shame was that the bomb-maker lacked the skill to pull this off. That's how MAGAs actually think.
