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.

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 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.

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.
