Not only did Donald Trump not tweet out messages of condolences for families who lost loved ones five years ago on Thursday at the Sand Hook gun massacre in Connecticut, and not only did White House press secretary Sarah Sanders on that day insist theres simply nothing that can be done to battle American epidemic of gun violence, but Trump himself managed to insult the Sandy Hook families in another appalling way.
In a craven display of collective indifference, Trump hosted Wayne LaPierre, the controversial head of the NRA, at the White House on Thursday night, as families and friends of the elementary school gun massacre were remembering the victims of the horrific killing spree.

(7,947 posts)Trump is so.... perverted. It's just perverted, the way he reacts against any normal compassionate or dignified behavior and does the opposite. He's so gross and vulgar.
If there is any moral advantage to inherited wealth, it's that the heirs who got such unearned benefits should be grateful and show their gratitude by giving to others (cf The Rockefeller Foundation). But Trump proves the lie even of that. He has no class at all, no generosity, no gratitude.
Worthless human being, and nearly half (never forget- not even half) of our fellow voters thought he was good enough to lead the country.
And most of them STILL believe that.

thank you for allowing me to rant!

And stay there.

(4,139 posts)objectionable, and outrageous action is for a given situation and then does it just because he can. The office of the President under Trump has become the most divisive force in US politics today and it will take an extraordinary person who follows him to mend that divide.

What a disgusting excuse for a human being.
