...that the holiday even exists and is actually important to people with normal human emotions -- people who might be in a bit of a turmoil today, COVID 2020.

Completely unaware of anything outside himself. A Scumbag.

Did he say mother’s were scumbags?
Or did he say Hitler was a scumbag?
Why is saying the word scumbag taboo on Mothers Day.
Dudes an asshole, but this is pretty weak outrage.

There's so much shit to get upset by with Trump, why is this the scandal du jour?

(BTW I looked it up - he retweeted someone calling Andrew McCabe a scumbag).
What does that have to with honoring mothers? Why get upset at him retweeting that? He tweets vile shit daily - why should anyone expect any different on Mother's Day, and get upset that he would on Mother's Day.

THAT is my point. Stop the hair on fire "HE SAID SCUMBAG ON MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!"

with "her" son. I don't suppose Chump helped Barron do anything special for his mother today, as he barely acknowledges that he, too, is Barron's parent. Poor kid.

Then he’d be like Trump’s other kids and have to do the daily ritual of kissing daddy’s ass every day.

Maybe he can grow up to be free like his half sister Tiffany. She lucked out.

I was thinking"poor kid" more from Barron's perspective of having to endure this boorish, cruel moron as his father figure. Barron does, however, get to escape from his father's view for the most part, so he is lucky in that sense.

that's the problem with narcissism....it has to be propped up all the damn time, day in and day out, and EVERYTHING carries a potential threat to his eog, so he worries...constantly.

Cannot figure why he has not stroked out.

The idea of offering Mother's Day wishes no doubt short-circuited the few properly functioning neurons in his brain.

What that has to do with Mother's Day I don't know, but apparently a lot of people are invested in getting outraged that he did it today.

Too dumb to realize he describes what he unconsciously hates about himself whenever he insults someone or groups of people to the whole world watching.
