Yep, another Trump column. Aren’t you lucky? (ha) Hoo, boy, are people unhappy with him. Kirk was a friend of his, but if you ask him about it, he changes the subject after one or two sentences. It’s pretty obvious he is deflecting, but why? Does he not want to be connected with Kirk because Kirk was a RWNJ with all the rhetoric that goes with it? I would think he wouldn’t care. He might even like it. From AlterNet:
Social media appeared horrified at how easily President Donald Trump blew past the tragic assassination of MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk to praise an incoming $200 million White House ballroom. Hours after Trump exploited Kirk’s assassination to stoke war against the left, Trump couldn’t stop changing the subject from Kirk to White House construction.
Ya think? What’s going on in the background, there? Trump will use anything and everything to change public opinion about him, which is pretty damn poor and sinking lower every day. He’s getting so low he should practice the Limbo. I would not admit to having any relationship with the man. He’s absolutely disgusting. So why couldn’t his people spin that for their use? Cry the big crocodile tears, “oh, I am so sad my friend has been killed.” They aren’t.
“How are you holding up over the last three and a half days?” asked one reporter, who’d wished Trump condolences for the loss of his friend, Kirk. “I think very good,” said Trump. “And by the way, right there you see all the trucks? They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they’ve been trying to get for about 150 years.” Critics on X slammed the pivot. “The normal emotions of healthy human beings are foreign to him,” posted former Wall Street Journal reporter John Harwood. “You might as well ask him to speak in Latin.” //// “Zero heart. Zero sympathy,” said another commenter. //// Podcaster Briahna Joy Gray — also a former press secretary for Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-Vt.) 2020 presidential campaign — snidely posted: “Now this is how you respect a man’s memory.”
Yowza. Scorching! Well, it’s well known that people on X don’t hold back with their opinions. It’s a cesspool there. And even with Trump only using Truth Social, the comments are going to get to him. That is a potential explosion, ketchup on the walls, and his fat little thumbs posting at 2 or 3 in the morning. Does the man ever sleep?
Democratic influencer Joanne Carducci posted that she “vehemently disagreed with every single thing Charlie Kirk ever said, and I was able to express more empathy than this.” //// Trump again spun awkwardly from Kirk to White House construction and his ballroom while speaking on “Fox & Friends” Friday morning, reports The New Republic. //// “The people of the United States elected a total sociopath (again),” said one critic on X. “Literally cares about no one but himself,” while another posted, “Trump can’t even pretend to care for 5 seconds.”
I can feel the burn from here, and I’m only posting the comments from the article. I’ll bet there are a whole lot more out there slamming him. I have no sympathy for Trump. He gets 15 minutes of attention if I have something to say about him, like this article. Otherwise, nope. I don’t care for him, and I don’t care about him, except for occasionally reading the 2-second headlines. Why did people think he deserved a second presidency?
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that of all of the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thanks. Ursula
Another reason may be that the info came out, the alleged shooter is not a “leftie”. That sort of takes the fun out of bashing him. Or he thought he gave it an acceptable amount of hatred for the perpetrator and reverence for his friend Kirk and now he’s done with that subject.
1 Kirk was talking a lot about releasing Epstein files again
2 He knows it’s related to Fuentes and Groypers
Instead of POTUS…his should be POS.
Hmmmm… He has always been a POS, and only through a loophole built into in our Electoral College system by the founding fathers did he get to be POTUS, and cement his record-breaking standing as the worst POTUS in U. S. history.
BTW, I grew up in New York’s Upper East Side when it was a working class neighborhood of five-story railroad flat tenements. I’ve hated the m*****f****r ever since learning of his “bone spurs” draft dodging while I and thousands of fellow New Yorkers were inducted.
