President Donald Trump will visit Dayton, El Paso later this week following mass shootings

Source: Cincinnati.com

President Donald Trump is expected to visit the sites of two mass shootings that occurred this weekend, meaning he will travel back to Ohio for the second time in two weeks.

The Associated Press reported that the Federal Aviation Administration has issued advisories of VIP travel to El Paso and Dayton on Wednesday. The time of his visit or other details have not been announced.

This will be the president's second visit to the area in as many weeks. Trump was in Cincinnati on Thursday for a "Keep America Great" rally at US Bank Arena.

Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, who represents El Paso, said that Trump was "not welcome" in El Paso if he came to visit because of his inflammatory rhetoric about Latinos and immigrants.

He is a hypocrite—and still a racist who is just staying quiet until the public forgets these heinous crimes that, in at least El Paso, are a response to his hateful rhetoric calling migrants and immigrants an invasion of white America—a term the murderer used.

Why should Montana cities be any different? Dipshit, probably owes millions of dollars across the country, while federal funds go for his golf trips and cities struggle to provide services to their people.

They do not need paper towels and play doh. Unless, paper towels to wipe up the blood and play doh to plug holes in people.

Toledo and Dallas, pray that the video games teach Americans the lessons they need to learn ....'

I am sensing a 'covfefe' moment, that is one that is garbled, confused, bungled, in order to distract and keep citizens scratching their heads, because that is a strategy, distraction with confusion to blunt criticism and action.

But of course that will not happen. Just another two sullen appearances by a man who resents being told to do anything, would rather be golfing, and cares so little about citizens injured and killed as a result of his encouragement that he intentionally insults them by not getting the name of the city right

Can’t he have the decency to let people bury their dead? Not to mention who wants to host him? He’s the cause of the problem.

for the asshole.
Trump is nothing more than a pawn in Russia's war against the United States of America. He is a fucking puppet. His only purpose is to do and say things that will keep the focus on himself while, behind the scenes, Russia destroys what is left of our democracy and our nation.

The Democrats need to stop arguing about how to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic and come together to focus on how to prevent Russia (or Putin, if you will) from rigging another presidential election.

Stop even using that evil weasel's name, and stop referring to him as the president. Call a spade a spade, didn't the Mueller report make it perfectly clear that Russia interfered in our election in 2016 and that they are going to do it again.

Or, we can all just admit we now live in Amerussia and accept that democracy is over. Your choice, but to pretend that Trump is any more that a wholly owned subsidiary of the Russians and that he actually cares about the people of this country is ridiculous at this point.

There are really two issues to discuss in politics any longer. Russia's not so secret war against our way of life, and climate change. if we don't find a solution to those two problems, we are fucked, and none of the other issues will really matter.

Thank you.

The "we," as you know, will also have to be a Democratic Senate.

Should refuse anything for this president until he pays for his past bill, and offer zero services , and demand payment for the past. He'll only go there to stir up more trouble for their city by division and more lies. He's a cancer on this country, he and putin. He wants protesting to use to go after them too, just like putin has done in russia. He's trying to further incite people for a reason.

I think most of those sitting behind him at rallies are paid. They might run ads on Craigslist again.
