Surrogate Angels of Death

https://progressiveerupts.blogspot.com/2019/08/surrogate-angels-of-death.html

Here is the iconic photo of President "Thumbs Up, Your Parents Are Dead, Baby Paul," and his "I Really Don't Care, Do You?" wife.

It is ghoulish and sick and cynical, just like Trump and his white supremacist presidency. That orphaned baby was not in the hospital. The Trump lackeys had the baby delivered to the hospital so that the heartless and soulless POTUS and FLOTUS could pose for a photo op. None of the victims of the massacre in the hospitals in El Paso wanted Trump's visit. NOT ONE.

So they commandeered a defenseless baby who had nothing to say about being part of a tableau that flattered the man whose rhetoric helped make him an orphan.

I am out of words.

Rhonda Garelick, New York Magazine: THE CUT:


Posing for this photograph, the Trumps remove any last doubt about their dead-eyed cruelty and transactional view of life. Smiling emptily above this wounded little boy, whose life was shattered before he could take his first step, the president and his wife call to mind those famous safari photos taken by Trump’s sons, Eric and Don Jr. — in which they, like their father, smile brightly over the victims of their own heedless cruelty and violence.

So now we know today more of that Uncle that delivered his nephew to trump. He is a supporter, an avid one. He told people to not politicize his young nephews plight...as HE politicizes it by delivering Baby Paul to Mellies cold white arms for a photo OP.

He vowed to raise baby Paul with no mention of his brothers other two children. OMG OMG! Then we find out that all the children are in the care of her parents, not the uncle. HOLD ON. HOLD ON. There is more. The Uncle wants to use the Go Fund Me Account to pay of 80K of debt with no mention of the children.

I have no words left.

The uncle has nothing to do with them. Seems to me, just a photo Op and cash in on Go Fund Me.

No words.
