Do You Believe How Tr**p Is Talking Up This Kidnapping Story?.....

Do you think he's sincere or is he just trying to take advantage of a situation that if it turns out positive - he can make up lies - to trying to say he helped solved the situation?

Big attention to this story, caring interest in the victim, he just wants some of that to rub off on him. He's slimy, always.

The bride at every wedding. The baby at every baptism, the Birthday Boy at every Birthday, the corpse at every funeral...and now...the kidnappee at every kidnapping.

Me! Me! Me! Blah, blah, blah

any situation that grabs the headlines and doesn’t include him. Sincere is not an adjective that has ever described The Felon.

I have no confidence he gives 2 shits about Nancy Guthrie but it’s good press for him to get involved in a story that has captivated the nation.

I’m also sick of reporters asking his opinion on everything.

Another bride at another wedding. Has to insert himself so that he looks like the good guy.

If that were Abbe Phillip's mother, would he be just as concerned? Or would his warped brain insinuate it was related to a drug deal? *Cynical* minds want to know.

Let's hope his intrusion doesn't muck it up more.
