(3,344 posts)Absolutely no details of the visit have been made public yet, other than it being around 4:00 PM.
I think they are purposefully keeping details hidden as long as possible to prevent organized resistance.
(I'm not necessarily in favor of a confrontation, because of how Fox News, etc. might portray it).

(45,003 posts)It would be a shame if the city was frozen up in one big flash-mobbed traffic jam... just around Trump time.

The day is for Tree of Life, not the hate monger.

(19,066 posts)After the mayor and local Jewish leaders asked him not to come, Trump is going anyway, because this has to be all about him. I'm sure he's going to whine and complain about the media and call them enemies of the people(Straight out of Hitler's playbook word for word), because Donald Trump is the real victim in all of this.
Imagine the families, your loved one was killed because a madman believed propaganda the President is spreading about a caravan of refugees thousands of miles away from the US. That the very man who is directly responsible for the propaganda that caused the death of your grandmother, father, uncle, brother, or grandfather is going to show up at the funeral to make a spectacle of himself has to be one of the most painful things imaginable.
Trump and Trump alone decided this caravan would be the primary election issue for the GOP. Trump is the only reason that Bowers knew about or cared about a small caravan of refugees that's months from the US border. Doesn't matter that Bowers thought Trump wasn't as much of a Nazi as he wanted him to be, it was Trump's propaganda that caused him to take action. If not for Trump, those people would still be alive.
I hope a grieving family member calls Trump out to his face in front of the cameras and humiliates him.

(22,580 posts)because they would be just as likely to happen as that.
Frequently in life things do not turn out as they should, or at least how I think they should.
We may as well get used to the fact that the tens of millions of Trump supporters are going nowhere and will be here even if the Democrats take the House, the Senate, and then the White House. They're not going to get raptured away, never to inflict themselves upon us again.
