Trump Makes Powerful Pro-Life Case By Speaking About The Joys Of Neglecting A Child

Friday 12:28PM

WASHINGTON—Speaking to thousands of March For Life protesters assembled on the National Mall, President Donald Trump took to the stage Friday to make a powerful pro-life case about the joys of neglecting a child. “Of course, I’m a father, and I had my thoughts about terminating them all, but I’m standing before you today to tell you that I’m glad I didn’t because I would never have gotten to experience the simple but incredible pleasures of pawning them off on the help for the first decade or so of their lives,” said Trump, defending the anti-abortion movement with a stirring speech about how profoundly being an absent and indifferent father had affected his life. “I wish I could describe to you how good it feels to avoid every soccer game and piano recital, and how incredible it’s been watching them grow from a child I couldn’t care less about to an adult I barely know. Whether it’s Ivanka, Don Jr., or one of the other two, they’ve each been a blessing that I never would have known if they had been aborted.” Trump went on to bring several audience members to tears by describing in detail the moment he first realized he’d be able to bully and emotionally terrorize his children forever.

When I read stuff like this, it's too easy to believe he actually said it. When the "head on a pike" thing broke, I'll bet there wasn't one of those damned Rethugs who didn't know he said it.

I was wondering if this was real or satire. With Trump, this article could easily be true.

Madeleine Westerhout, who left her White House job suddenly on Thursday as President Trump’s personal assistant, was fired after bragging to reporters that she had a better relationship with Trump than his own daughters, Ivanka and Tiffany Trump, and that the president did not like being in pictures with Tiffany because he perceived her as overweight.

incredibly sculpted and fit, it is understandable. Vile family, the entire clan. Why wasn't Maleria there to protect him from all these women? The hypocracy was just too much, even for her?

More likely he was "grabbing her by the pussy".

for the first decade or 2 of their lives. Why don't these empowered feminists ever think of that? Of course not, they only think of themselves.
