Honest Question: What exactly is the Madman doing today in Pittsburgh?

Is he going to the site of the shooting?

Is he going to give a speech, and if so, to who?

Is he expecting to meet with survivors or victim's family members?

All I hear is that he's going to Pittsburgh, but I have no idea what he's going to do when he gets there. Waive a Terrible Towel?

He can never let anybody or anything eclipse him. He is such a needy, narcissistic, pathetic, insecure black hole of an entity.

I am just so sick of hearing about him, seeing him, hearing him, reading his stupid tweets. Every goddamned day it's all about HIM!! I'm afraid there is only one thing that will make it stop forever.

He doesn't care jack about the victims or their families. If he had an ounce of decency in that bloated orange body of his, he would stay away, change his bombastic tone and apologize to the Tree of Life Synagogue for his remarks about armed guards.

Don't hold your breath waiting for any of that to happen.

Disrespect the dead a few times and then move along to the next hate speech rally.

Will the nazi supremacists show up with Trump?

Trump's way of interrupting a solemn & very human day of compassion & a reminder of our better selves.

The funerals are a threat to Trump's division of America.
He won't stand for that.

Again. Because that's what he enjoys doing: Looking on, while we eat his shit. Over and over and over.

Anybody else getting really tired of this? That's a very serious question.

Haven't these people been through enough?

And he needs to mock and humiliate them just for his own sadistic, ego-gratifying needs? I have no words for how much I despise this person.

They hate the jews and he's providing a thumb in the eye to them for the benefit of hate. I expect him to talk about himself, how great he's doing, say hate must end and then go on to increase the hate by blaming media and Democrats. That's all he's capable of doing, he's a sociopath and that' what will be seen.

... where the injured police officers hit by gun fire recuperate. Letting America know how he loves the boys in blue particularly when good camera time for his fat head is allowed on a me, myself and I Nazi media parade and he can hog the limelight.

Look at me,.. look at me,.. I am the most powerful man on the planet. If you say something flattering I might allow you to kiss my ring and then kiss my ass.

He wants attention. He should be denied that.



Also, off-topic, WTH is up with all the stupid distraction threads about whether or not an executive order can overrule the Constitution? The sole purpose of that shit is to distract from his vile speech and actions regarding Pittsburgh murders.

Sorry for ranting in your thread, but didn't want to kick one of the distractions.
