Trump cant even greet a group of journalists kids without taking a nasty swipe at their parents

God, he is SUCH A DICK! This pathetic attempt to "humanize" him was a complete and total failure. It's obvious that he neither likes nor feels comfortable around children. Watch this video - I can't even describe what an ass he is. Once again, he had to make it all about him.

TRUMP CAN'T EVEN GREET A GROUP OF JOURNALISTS' KIDS WITHOUT TAKING A NASTY SWIPE AT THEIR PARENTS

"I can not believe the media produced such beautiful children,” Trump said of the photo-op when young kids of White House journalists visit in costume.

The comments came the same week Trump claimed he is not uncivil because he went to an Ivy League school.

“Do you know who they are?” Trump asked as he pointed to the reporters against the sounds of motor-driven cameras clicking away.

“They’re the friendly media, that’s the press,” Trump told the children, one of whom started to cry.

“Are you going to grow up to be like your parents?” Trump asked one young girl. “Hmmmmm? Don’t answer, that can only get me in trouble, that question.”

“Nah, you have wonderful parents, right?” Trump reassured.

As President Trump began to hand out souvenirs, he again returned to his fixation on the media.

“So how does the press treat you,” Trump asked. “I bet you get treated better by the press than anyone in the world.”

“Well, congratulations folks, you did a good job,” Trump said to the press corps in front of their kids."

There's more and it's absolutely puke-worthy.

(Trump, not you)

Way to make a little kid feel anxious about a little bit of Halloween candy.

Even this light hearted photo op of giving out Halloween candy to the children of the press corps members was turned into a Press Bashing Fest. He just kept on and on and it was apparent the children were confused. How dare he? How dare he make thinly disguised swipes at their parents while chuckling to himself? He is as low as it gets. Slime has a higher profile than this vile and disgusting excuse for a human. I wish he knew the depth of our rage toward him. Just a hint of how very much he is despised.

P.S. Note to Press Corps: if by chance there is another Halloween at the White House for this buffoon in Chief (god forbid) please do not subject your children to this awful man. He is a fake, does not really like children and will USE THEM for his own ugly purposes.

someone called the "Children's Bureau" to report child abuse?

That would be the only reasonable response to that fiasco!

These children will probably end up with nightmares. Especially the poor little girl who he reduced to tears.

This was such a cynical, disgusting attempt to make him look like a human being when it was very clear to anyone who saw that video that he is an absolute monster.

Compare this to photos and videos of Obama with children. He took to them naturally and they took to him. What a difference! I really miss him.
