Trump makes childlike statements about today's shootings

The president added that “the world is a violent world.”

“You think when you’re over it, it just goes away,” Trump said. “But then it comes back in the form of a mad man—a whacko.”

Trump added that prior to taking office he “watched instances like this,” calling it a “shame.”

“But it’s even tougher when you’re the president of the United States,” Trump said. “You have to watch this kind of a thing happen, and it’s so sad to see.”

and the first thing he was talking about is going to his rally. So he's doing a infomercial for his rally to make a proper statement . That what all presidents should do, make a proper statement at a political event.

America can't take more of this shit.

I just finished reading Omarosa's book "Unhinged" and she thinks he's mentally incapacitated. Based on how he was 15 years ago, and compared to how he is now, she thinks he's suffering from dementia and maybe a stroke. People around him are keeping it hushed-up, of course.

Given that he's the President, and all three branches of the government are controlled by his own party. What's a poor guy to do in that situation?

reflects this. He's content with his power over his MAGAterriorists - He's happy that his goals are being achieved. Trump is a MAGAmanipulator of his MAGAmob.

unless it's about him.

He really does entirely lack empathy.

I see the police chief and the mayor on TV, and they are shaken and trying to hold it together and at the same time, they very much feel the grief...

Then you see Trump, almost chortling because he gets to call someone else "wacko" and yammer lustfully about the death penalty.

The results were worse than we thought.

And then intimated that if only there was some good guys with a gun inside the "result" would have been different.

He's just fucking evil.
