Trump wanted the press at a hospital visit, not to

see him consoling grieving families of shooting victims, but because the hospital staff was cheering him.

Donald and Melania Trump 'unleashed' on Stephanie Grisham for not bringing press inside a hospital to cover healthcare workers cheering for them, book says

President Donald Trump berated then-White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham after she was unable to bring members of the press into a hospital to document his meeting with mass-shooting victims in 2019, Grisham wrote in her new book.

The former president, along with then-first lady Melania Trump, visited an intensive care unit in Ohio following a mass shooting in Dayton that killed nine people and injured over two dozen in August 2019.

Trump wanted Grisham to invite the press to "capture all of the medical staff clapping and cheering for them and taking selfies" but she said they weren't allowed to due to patients' privacy and concerns over keeping the "environment as sterile as possible," Grisham wrote.

But Trump dismissed Grisham's reasoning and grew very angry, she wrote. As the trip went on, the former president repeatedly brought up the issue, telling Grisham: "I can't believe you didn't have them—meaning the press—in the hospital. What a waste."

3. Sounds about right.

No reason to doubt what I saw for 4 years....a deeply stupid man that, nonetheless, had an oversized ego to go with his juvenile and emotionally stunted personality.

7. Trump is a genius at certain things, like bullying, scaring people, denigrating them,

demanding loyalty and servitude, and punishing those he believes have offended him. He's all emotion and aggression. He has a disdain for everybody. Yet he is worshipped by millions.

[Journeyman]

4. Why didn't he have the medical staff come see him outside? Mountain to Mohammad . . .

doncha know. 'Cause really, who wants to hang around inside the hospital and run the risk of seeing those shooting victims. That doesn't speak to his glory. Forget that. Ya only go visit sick people for the photo ops.

5. This was the time he handed off an infant that had lost its parents in the shooting, I believe.

[Caliman73]

8. That was the Walmart in Texas I believe.

The one in Dayton was that guy who started shooting people outside a bar.

[FarPoint]

6. This is absolutely true....

I live i n Dayton....family worked at this hospital...verified the hospital photo op verses consoling a community recovering from a mass shooting...

His visit was actually worse than the book describes....

Dave Chappelle and John Legend were the ones who actually helped out town heal....

13. This baby was made an orphan. Now SMILE!!! nt

[Kid Berwyn]

16. I hesitate to call a human being a monster...

As it seems to excuse inhuman behaviors. Trump’s actions, however, are monstrous. He used that orphaned baby for a photo op. Anyone wondering where this curse on the United States comes from should thank Putin.



Same psycho smile. Behind him in the Oval Office stands Sergei Lavrov, Foreign Minister of Russia.

12. The Slobfather and his wife are monsters

Evil fucking scumbags - that is all

15. +1 .... Dark force evil too, some shit you see in a marvel movie

14. 'What a waste' if it didn't soothe his ego, it was a waste of his time

in other words, he couldn't have cared less about the victims.
