Trump Celebrates Recent Violence Against Journalists, Says It's 'Actually A Beautiful Sight'

Only someone who is mentally sick and deplorable would say something like this before thousands of people at a rally. What does that say about the people who heard these words, cheered in thunderous approval, and will still vote for this man?

“They threw him aside like he was a little bag of popcorn,” the president recounted at a rally in Pennsylvania.

President Donald Trump celebrated violence against journalists during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania on Tuesday night, mocking a reporter who was injured covering this summer’s racial injustice demonstrations and calling the act “actually a beautiful sight.”

he president’s comments are the latest of many attacks on the free press but an overt endorsement of members of the media coming under attack. During one moment at the rally, Trump recounted racial justice demonstrations in Minneapolis following the police killing of George Floyd, saying the city had been “cured” after National Guard troops were deployed.

“They’d grab one guy — I’m a reporter. I’m a reporter,’” Trump said, imitating the scene. “They threw him aside like he was a little bag of popcorn. Honestly, when you watch the crap that we’ve all had to take so long, when you see that — you don’t want to do that — but when you see it, it’s actually a beautiful sight.”

“It’s a beautiful sight,” he repeated.

Journalists against him will be jailed or sent to concentration camps, or maybe even disappeared.

I can't even say what I am really thinking right now, except for I would really like karma to come around and bite him in his fat, orange ass one-thousand-fold in this life so we could all have the satisfaction of watching it happen.
