Why is he even going to El Paso?
Why add insult to injury? He doesn't really want to, nor can he be authentic in comforting the victims. Why is he being forced on these communities?
Its like forcing an abused victim to embrace their abuser. Why can't we skip the horse and pony show? Nobody would fault him for not going. At least they shouldn't. Its a useless spectacle that will cost tax payers - only to inflict more pain on the victims with his presence./

(115,293 posts)insensitive if he didn't. Hello? Insensitive? When was Fat Nixon ever sensitive? He has all the sensitivity of a toilet seat. But anyhow, looking for political points, off he goes. Does he care that he will just upset people who don't want him there? No, of course not. Does he care that his campaign already owes El Paso more than $500K for security for a previous hate rally? No, of course not.
If there's a public event I hope nobody comes. Nothing bothers him more than being ignored.

Motherfucker.

(9,426 posts)almost $1 Million from his last hate rally, maybe law enforcement should skip this one. Let him face his "fans" without police protection for once. Maybe he would learn something?

(13,856 posts)Hell be in front of supportive law enforcement and first responders, and they will screen out any unreliable people and have him consoling and comforting some of the family members.
Probably can throw a few brown and black preachers in there too.

(9,291 posts)have just seen some shit, not to mention all the Hispanic people who work in these professions.
He may not get his clap-fest this time. They all have better things to do. Border Patrol might be forced to be there, and they will behave.
It will be disgusting.

(22,422 posts)Creating horror floats his boat. He's truly a sick bastard. To the psychopath to hurt others is their form of loving. It's so twisted I can't possibly wrap my head around it. It makes me nauseous to think about it.
It's what feeds his sickness.

(756 posts)All the other monsters can only hurt us from the outside. And we Americans have a Defense Dept. to meet those threats. We are Americans because We welcome people from everywhere, that's where We are from, everywhere. We are human beings because We care, and he is a monster.

(11,949 posts)His base gets off when he pissed in his opponents corn flakes. To them we are the true enemy!
Hes written off the group that lost the in 18, suburban women. He has no choice but to double down.
And realize. He is not really a republican. And hates being president. But if he is going to lose will cause as much damage as possible.

He should not have one single opportunity to "console" anyone.
actually I hope no one shows up.

(6,916 posts)There are two principles on how best to fight Trump:
- act like its a national crisis and hes unfit.
- beat him. Make him look stupid and weak.
Dems seem not very willing to do either.
They should be holding a counter-event outside his events in El Paso and in Dayton. They should be telling him strongly to go home. That hes unwanted. Cable would eat this up! They love conflict. Hold a rally IN El Paso. Build a barricade around his event. Make him look weak and act like this is an abnormal time.

PandoraAwakened
(905 posts)Not highly featured on MSM is the fact that the number of Pittsburgh protestors on the streets shouting at him to go home was so intense that he only stayed at the synagogue for 10 minutes. Then, cancelling the rest of the day's agenda, he made a beeline right back to Air Force One & flew out of there like the bat out of Hell that he is.
Wonder what El Paso has in store for him...

(4,341 posts)Lets analyze the creature's life.
He has been a failure as a "negotiator"
A failure as a real estate business creature
A failure as a husband
A failure as a father
A failure as a golfer
A failure as a president
But...an incredible success as a decoy, as a messenger of evil. He has finally found something he is really good at, do you really think he is going to give up what he is really good at, at being a total asshole, a Putin bitch, etc.? No, he won't.
