tRump Calls El Paso Gunman 'Coward' for---wait for it---for GIVING UP!

Last edited Fri Aug 9, 2019, 07:30 PM - Edit history (1)

Yes, he actually said that.

Buried toward the end of a buzzfeed.com article from Aug.7, titled "Trump Had A Busy Day of Consoling Mass Shooting Victims And Sending Angry Tweets," is an explanation of his visit to El Paso's emergency operations center following his failed visit to the hospital (where none of the remaining victims would see him).


Excerpted from the article:

While shaking hands and signing a few autographs, Trump also spoke with officers about the gunman's surrender and arrest.

"Coward," Trump said. "He gave up, just gave up." (emphasis added)


In other words, now we know the Resident-in-Grief views the shooter as a coward not for gunning down defenseless innocents, but because he didn't go ahead and kill a few police officers too while going down in a blaze of gunfire!

Excuse me, must visit the porcelain goddess now.

Projection again?

He used to say that terrorists were "cowards", even the suicide-bombers, who are many bad things, but not cowardly.

He's also making clear that-- as with his own criminal career-- the worst thing a crook can do is confess. (Or "flip" even worse).

He has no conception of himself as a law-enforcement official, supposed to be on this side of the law.
He is so much worse than the average human.

Actually, he's worse than the average criminal. He's just rich, so he's always gotten away with it.

"The president then headed to the city's emergency operations center, where he met with first responders including El Paso Police Chief Greg Allen. Trump called Allen "a winner" and praised law enforcement for their response to Saturday's shooting.

While shaking hands and signing a few autographs, Trump also spoke with officers about the gunman's surrender and arrest.

"Coward," Trump said. "He gave up, just gave up.""

He's just so screwed up! His thinking is so disordered! There seem to be huge gaps in his understanding, and doesn't seem to realize how out of step he is with normal people's thinking and values.

The one that after his death, trump went after his children - he actually withdrew medical benefits he had promised to his nephew’s infant son, who suffered from seizures that led to cerebral palsy

It would be absolutely front-page news if ANY other POTUS (or Democrat) said something like this.

And it would be devastating to their career.

But it won't be to Trump's. Everyone knows he's a sociopath already.

An additional reason why I wouldn't mind this publicized is that I'd actually prefer that these asshat shooters get gunned down by the cops.

Once they're at the point of having no choice but to surrender, they're not getting off more than another shot or two before they're down.

Saving us taxpayers hundreds of 1000's of dollars.

...to take the shooter on, one-on-one in a cage match.

Don-Don always likes to talk shit about how brave and ready-for-action he is.
Call him on it.
You'll never see him run so fast, not even from angry eagles or loud noises.
