Trump Features Registered Sex Offender Who Raped 16 Year Old Child For Whitehouse Announcement Of Children's Programs

BREAKING: Trump literally had Lawrence Taylor, a registered sex offender who raped a 16-year-old, featured at the White House as he announced his “President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition”initiative for kids.

Sickening!

President Donald Trump’s attempt to revive the long-defunct Presidential Fitness Test veered into political scandal and absurdity Thursday after he launched the children’s health initiative alongside a convicted sex offender, boasting that there’s "nobody like him."

Unless I mis-heard it, he said something like (paraphrasing), 'I don't know what we're supposed to be doing, but I'm happy to be on the team'. WTF???

Please clarify if I didn't hear that correctly.

Epstein, Diddy, and Maxwell oh my...

Taylor is a registered sex offender who, charged with statutory rape in 2011, pleaded guilty to sexual misconduct and patronizing a prostitute after paying for sex with a trafficked 16-year-old girl, ESPN reported

... my question, re: why is he even there, is rhetorical in a sense, but still wondering why he's even there if he doesn't know what he's doing. Is he just trump's mascot? Whatever the answer, I still respond (to the situation, not to you), What The Actual F??? This is a nuts day, with this news combined with G Maxwell's sex offender status waived so she could be moved to Texas 2 days after meeting with Blanche.

Fascist depravity knows no bounds.

Generically speaking... behold Trump's field of fucks to give about what anyone thinks, note that it is barren...

Each one of Trump's nominees is a window into his soul.
