Trump can't seem to bother to like kids, even if they try to like him.

I think we all remember the infamous USA Freedom Kids from the campaign:



Their super creepy ode to Donald Trump looked and sounded like something straight out of North Korea. But it worked well for Trump.....until the bill came due. Then, he predictably skipped out and the founder of the troupe actually sued Trump as a result.


Then you had this intrepid kid reporter who has the opportunity to ask Donald Trump a question backstage at one of his rallies:

As you can tell, Trump was none too eager to have to be bothered by this, saying, "I can't believe I have to do this question right now" and then cutting the kid off just as he starts to ask the question: "Okay, let's go."

And let's not forget all the warmth he shows to his own kid in front of the country:



So, are we really all that surprised Donald Trump seemed to take a bizarre sense of enjoyment of taking some kid's Make America Great Again hat and tossing it deep into the crowd?

1. He really doesn't like children. Has anyone ever seen a picture of his youngest son smiling?

Look what awful, insecure, clueless morons his children are and they would be truly unacceptable if they had been raised by him and not their mothers.

2. I couldn't believe Barron Trump was made to wear a sports jacket at a

Easter egg roll. They want to carry themselves like royalty and present themselves as some sort of Royal family (even though the Duke of Cambridge's family comes across 100X more human).

[Me.]

3. He DEmanded His Sons Wear Suits To Baseball Games

Looks to me like Barron was dressed down, not wearing a tie

4. Barron needs to spend some time with cool Uncle Barack and Aunt Michelle.

I'm pretty sure they'd make living in the White House far more enjoyable for a kid. (Not that he and his mom have spent much considerable time at the White House to date.)

The accompanying video for that picture (Warning: It's adorable):

6. Actually Uncle Buck would be even better

14. I loved watching the Obamas around children (and adults). How did we go from that to this?? (nm)

10. I recall reading an anecdote about Donald Trump in college

His father, Fred, came to visit Donald in the dorm and read him the riot act for not wearing a suit. I'm guessing there are enough issues in this family to keep a team of psychologists busy for years.

ON EDIT: I believe the big entertainment draw for yesterday's festivities was the Martin Family Circus. Considering what happened to the adorable little moppets of the USA Freedom Kids (Trump stiffed them, of course), I hope the Martins got paid up front.

15. The story was about Trump and Trump Jr.:

[gratuitous]

18. That's the anecdote I remember

Thanks for posting it. I still think the Trump family could provide lengthy employment to a large team of psychologists.

5. Bare arms?

Isn't that something to complain about?

[left-of-center2012]

8. Yep!

The GOP complained that Michelle was showing too much flesh and it was disgusting, even 'slutty'.

When that was going on I posted (in a non-DU forum) photos of Republican First Ladies (going back to Mamie Eisenhower) with sleeveless dresses, gowns, etc.

The same people complained about Barack putting mustard on his hot dogs instead of ketchup, saying it was "un-American".

16. I've seen a lot more than Melania's arms on the internet...

[gopiscrap]

7. Usually anyone I have encountered who doesn't like kids or pets

is a total asshole

[mopinko]

9. second that.

17. No shit, same here.

You can judge a persons true self by how they treat animals and children.

11. The last story re: the hat is fake news. He tossed it back to the kid he got it from.

[MFM008]

12. He's still an asshat

And there is no " fake" news around Donald j. Maggot.
He's as bad as it gets.

[jmg257]

13. Ha - good point!

[world wide wally]

19. He only likes rich people
