Trump looks like he's in Dayton celebrating by the pictures taken of him














i cant qwhite put my finger on what all the people in the pics with trump have in common.







America, have we ever seen anything this disgusting?

Trump was supposed to be comforting victims, instead he cut & released a 2020 campaign commercial with music

I don't know how to explain it without attaching it

Is it just me or is this wrong?

His hair.

His padded-shouldered suits.

His morals.

His ethics.

His empathy.

His smile.

HEALY: I got a friend, right? Secret Service. Worked the Nixon detail. This was after they threw him out of office. No. Anyway, you know, Nixon's driving around one day around San Clemente. Just him and a few agents.

MARCH: Yeah.

HEALY: And they come across this car accident, right? There's a guy pinned under a car. Anyway, Nixon gets out, runs over to check on the guy, you know, leans down, and Nixon says to him, "You're gonna be okay, son. You're gonna be all right." And right then the guy dies.

MARCH: I don't get it.

HEALY: Think about it from that guy's point of view, okay? The guy who died. He's lying there on the ground, staring up at the sky, near death, and then former president Richard Nixon appears before him and tells him he's gonna be fine. Now, did he think that's normal, right, that before they die, everybody sees Nixon?

MARCH: You're expecting an angel and you get Nixon.

HEALY: Exactly. Right?

MARCH: Yeah.

all about himself. To distract from the horrible massacres and to take the attention away from the victims and what is really going on in this country.

He acts like he's at a fucking party! Who gives a thumbs up and a big phony grin when you are in a grave, somber situation like that. What the hell is wrong with him?

Dayton Demographics
According to the most recent ACS, the racial composition of Dayton was:

White: 55.41%
Black or African American: 39.31%
Two or more races: 3.36%
Asian: 0.93%
Other race: 0.63%
Native American: 0.32%
Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander: 0.04%

I would say about 40% of the people in that video were AA, wouldn't you?

Shows the wounded man with his arm in a sling holding hands with what I assume is his partner or husband. They’re the only two people who aren’t smiling for the cameras. My first thought was they held hands because they knew Trump’s MAGATs would notice it and see Trump’s shit eating grin.
