Trump calls Renee Good's death a 'tragedy,' says he hopes her father still supports him

Trump calls Renee Good’s death a ‘tragedy,’ says he hopes her father still supports him

President Donald Trump said during Tuesday’s White House press briefing that he feels bad about Renee Good’s death.

… “They’re going to make mistakes sometimes. ICE is going to be too rough with somebody, or they’re dealing with rough people,” Trump said. “They’re going to make a mistake sometimes. It can happen. We feel terribly. I felt horribly when I was told that the young woman ... the tragedy. It’s a tragedy. It’s a horrible thing. Everybody would say, ICE would say the same thing.”

… “When I learned her parents, and her father in particular, I hope he still is, but I don’t know, were tremendous Trump fans. He was all for Trump. Loved Trump, and it’s terrible,” the president added. “I was told that by a lot of people. They said, ‘Oh, he loves you.’ He was. I hope he still feels that way.”


This was from that insane press conference today. What the hell - did he just admit this murder was unjustified? That ICE was wrong? All because he found out her father might be a Trumper and he doesn’t want to lose a fan.

This should be bigger news.

TSF's Obi-Wan was Roy Cohn.

I just wonder, with his guru's Genovese business ties, did Unser Fuhrer take notes from one of the family's top guys Vincent "Chin" Gigante...

about what The Dotard says is, whether intentional or not, some Grade A sane-washing.

One cannot write a headline about this shitbag's babble which doesn't sane-wash because his bumblefuck manner of speaking is inherently made less insane by any summarization and/or paraphrasing.

And media - ASK HIM THAT QUESTION!

He does this “people tell me shit” all the damn time, and the media never slaps back with “Name names!”

and looks at the U.S. news to see what idiocy trump did while they slept.

C'mon gop, get a grip on reality: your "leader" is a joke—no matter how rich he's making you, he'll be your eventual destruction: that's his MO.

Literally EVERY SINGLE THING he says is about himself. He can't go two sentences without I/Me/Mine. Constitutionally incapable.

Already betrayed her once by supporting Trump. If he betrays her again in death. There should be a special place in hell for someone like that.
