.... trucks show up. To sell you fire extinguishers and smoke detectors after having canceled your fire insurance policy without your knowledge.

I'm sorry there are just too many blatant and outrageous conflicts of interests going on here to do any business with you. Besides. shouldn't you be arrested and thrown in jail for arson for having lit this house on fire ?

Has he ever visited the site of a mass shooting incident before?

I believe he only made it to Dover or Andrews for a single KIA recovery/return flight once, and he has never visited US forces in a combat zone, so this may be the second time in his life he's attempted to demonstrate empathy with human beings.

Trump says he will travel to Pittsburgh after synagogue shooting

Last Updated Oct 27, 2018 6:19 PM EDT

President Trump told reporters ahead of a campaign rally that he will be traveling to Pittsburgh after the synagogue shooting that left 11 dead and six injured. Earlier Saturday, Mr. Trump called the shooting a "wicked act of mass murder" that was "pure evil and frankly unimaginable," and he declared that anti-Semitism "must be confronted anywhere and everywhere it appears."
