Trump aides frustrated president won't pay respects to civil rights leader John Lewis

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Donald Trump's aides have “frustration” with the president’s decision not to pay his respects to late congressman John Lewis.

The civil rights leader passed away last week. His body was lying in state at the US Capitol on Monday and politicians – from presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his wife to the Vice President Mike Pence – visited to pay their respects.

When asked if he planned to visit the civil rights leader’s body, Mr Trump told reporters that he was not.

According to Johnathn Lemire, an Associated Press White House correspondent, Mr Trump’s aides were surprised by the president’s answer.

He's an asshole. What else do you expect?

1. Nobody seriously thought Trump would pay respect to John Lewis, did they?

If he did, no one would believe he was sincere.

2. Racist -Vindictive - dick

That’s all he is , he holds grudges all the time and the stupid ass aids still don’t learn who he is

[JI7]

3. Fuck his aids also. They just want him to say repeat some words so they can try

to pretend they aren't supporting a total piece of shit.

4. Another victory for the honorable Rep. Lewis

Not having that fake president pretending to care about anyone but himself.

RIP, John Lewis.

5. Why would those sycophants be surprised. And why haven't they resigned...

long ago? Guess those paychecks are much more important than principles.

I sure wouldn't want it on my resume that I stay with the trump admin to the bitter end.

6. He's better off not saying anything. Who would write a statement for him? Stephen Miller?

Even if someone could write a decent statement he couldn’t be trusted to stay on script. He’d probably end up saying Lewis did a lot for the blacks but not as much as him. Trump would end up saying he’s done more than any politician in history for the blacks and turning it into a whine-fest how he never gets treated fairly.

7. He'd just defile an otherwise solemn occasion. nt

8. Absolutely shameful

But the Tramp administration clearly has no capacity for shame.

18. He is playing to the confederate flag waving segment of his support.

You can be sure that come hell or high water, those people are going to vote. I hope our side is just as determined to vote no matter what.

9. trump is his OWN WORST ENEMY.. I'm sure they've figured

out that by now!

10. Shows what a petty person he is

How lowdown and sorry a person can you be? He is the #1 example of a sorry human being: lair, petty, mean, jealous, bully, dishonest, conniving, vicious name caller . I would never associate with such a piece of human shit. I hope all the Republican ass-kissers who enable able him are voted out of office.

[gratuitous]

11. And Trump was legit wondering earlier today why he isn't liked?

I mean, that cluelessness to a Marianas Trench depth.

[Wellstone ruled]

12. All those so called Aide's

will never wash that stench off them the rest of their days.

[fleur-de-lisa]

13. Dump couldn't show respect if his life depended on it

except to Pooty.

I’m glad he didn’t go to the service. He would have made a spectacle of it and made it about himself.

[Xolodno]

14. To be honest...

..I'm glad Trump isn't going. We all know this would be fake and only used as a photo op....or brag about he paid respects to a civil rights leader, then bitch and moan how he's done more for the "blacks" than anyone else.

And his fruit loop base will use it to say, "see, he isn't racist". Better to let him be him.

15. F**k them - they work for Trump

They deserve to feel a lot more than frustration - specifically what its like to be imprisoned. They all deserve to get COVID-19.

16. rid us of thiw unholy vile and incompetent creature

in thole days of tyrannical Caesars and mad British kings, people had no choice but accept. The people of the US ELECTED this guy. we need to throw him out in November.

[Thekaspervote]

17. They're frustrated only because of the optics..nothing else!!

[Blue_true]

19. Exactly. If they really care, they would never have worked for that monster. nt
