Trump is tweeting about Kathy Griffin now

[oberliner]

He says his son is "having a hard time" with what she did.

Is this part of the "set the narrative" strategy?

[C_U_L8R]

1. The son he never spends time with

because he's golfing every weekend?

[TheBlackAdder]

49. The Obama daughters dealt with burning effigies. Give him a safe space, like the one his father needs.

.

What about this?



.

[lsewpershad]

55. Now using his son

What a creep. Has he ever given a thought about all the children he is hurting? Never.

[titaniumsalute]

2. His son is having problems being a Trump

[Kittycow]

3. Which son?

If it's Barron, he shouldn't have been shown it. If it's his other sons, screw them. It was a tasteless joke, they're adults, aaand. ..they don't have a hard time killing exotic animals for sport and triumphantly exhibiting their dead bodies !

[oberliner]

5. The youngest one

[Kittycow]

16. Thanks.

[MichMary]

27. He's eleven years old

He is on the I-net. He goes to school with other kids. He didn't need to "have been shown it." It was inevitable that he was going to see it. And Griffin should have been cognizant of that, and of how alarming it would be, not only to Barron, but to other children as well.

I hate big game hunting, too, but I think there is a distinct difference between pix of dead animals and people.

[Kittycow]

32. I thought Barron was in a cocoon so. .

you're right about that.

However it wasn't just pix of dead trophy animals. Those sons did the actual killing. K I L L I N G. ..bloodshed. .happy boys with guns snuffing out life. So I have no sympathy for those two at all.

I think Kathy Griffin was way out of line so I have no sympathy for her either.

[Mr. Ected]

4. Son will have a harder time seeing his old man in prison rags

But that's what happens when your son's father is a felonious treasonous liar.

[blogslut]

6. Malia and Sasha dealt with much worse for 8 years.

Funny how he had no shame then.

[oberliner]

9. Yes, indeed

Hypocrite, among other things.

[Kittycow]

10. Excellent point about the President's daughters!

[yardwork]

7. Right-wingers' kids are only just now recovering from what Bill Clinton did.

[hexola]

8. What was the joke?

I'm struggling to understand how this fell in the realm of "humor"

[oberliner]

12. Do you mean what was Kathy Griffin's joke?

I don't think there was one. I think she was just trying to be shocking/edgy/relevant or whatever.

[hexola]

17. I only know her as a comedian

and her tits and dick jokes.

[oberliner]

21. She posted a photo of herself with Trump's decapitated head

It was pretty distasteful.

[hexola]

22. I know - and I was wondering what the joke was?

Seeing she's a comedian and all...

[oberliner]

26. Gotcha

Then my original response stands - there was no joke, just shock factor.

[Hortensis]

52. Yes, and way beyond. Ugly and disgusting. No excuses for her.

[jonno99]

53. FYI: there is an entire video:

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Apparently what she did

(photo of her holding a beheaded Trump head) and am not sure when it occurred, is being pushed now from the "War Room" to torpedo all the other news away as a distraction.

[hexola]

19. Which should surprise no one...

She completely screwed the momentum created by the boots on the ground...

Not helpful

[BumRushDaShow]

25. Well she apparently did what they do and have done

time and time again - using the "It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission" thing to get attention.

It doesn't excuse it but it is on par with what Ted Nugent has done a number of times.... along with the exhortation to not hinder "Free Speech" (as long as it doesn't incite to harm).

[Orrex]

58. It's not her responsibility to serve the Democratic agenda

She's a private citizen and is entitled to make whatever statements she wishes to make. If Democrats can't do anything to neutralize the Trump disaster, it most assuredly is not Kathy Griffin's fault.

[Afromania]

11. I'm sure the kid is, and that's too bad for Barron who is one of the innocent Trumps.

Where was his compassion for the Obama girls when he was dragging their daddy through the mud and helping inspire people to do shit just like this by keeping the hate train rolling along. More to the point, where is his compassion for the children affected by his Fucked up policies? The children that are traumatized by the real harassment and REAL killings of people that look like them for no reason. Where the fuck is his compassion for the two men killed defending an American citizen up in Portland? Those guys are Americans, real, true and proud but there is nothing from him about them or how it affects anybody else?

I'm going to stop here.

[maxrandb]

13. Awwww poor Uday

Please let him know that a majority of Americans are having a fucking hard time since your minority election. Maybe you can give him some slums to play with to make it up to him.

and Kathy Griffin is an idiot too!

[oberliner]

14. The reference was to the youngest son

Not one of the two older ones.

[JI7]

15. how did his son deal with the grab them by the pussy comments ?

[maxrandb]

29. How did his son deal

with the video of the crying, screaming American Citizen children as their mother was dragged away in handcuffs by ICE and deported to a foreign country because of a 15 year old traffic violation?

How does his son deal with the images of Syrian women and children blown apart by Russian bombers?

How does his son deal with the images of Yemeni children cut to ribbons by arms we provide to Saudi Arabia?

How does his son deal with journalists that were investigating his sisters sweat-shops being "disappeared" by the Chinese? government?

There really are so many things that this poor little child must have to deal with. Please let us know that he's "OK" with the above.

[hexola]

31. Probably the same way as all 11 year olds...

Those events are no more personal to him - than anyone else - if he's even old enough to grasp any of it yet

But an image of your father decapitated - hits him in a special, personal way.

[maxrandb]

62. I'll not defend Griffin, or justify her idiocy, BUT....

I, for one, will not let this cretin, who has demonstrated his entire life, that he has ZERO compassion, ZERO empathy, ZERO understanding, and ZERO sympathy for ANYONE else's children...OR ANY HUMAN BEING, for that matter...use his son as a "human shield" or sympathy generator.

Reap what you sew young man

[BeyondGeography]

20. User uses his son for butt covfefe

[TheDebbieDee]

24. Lolololololol! [Inhales] Hahahahahahahaha!

I just wanna laugh today... COVFEFE!

[Croney]

23. I call bs.

His son probably has not seen the photo. This is Drumpf the manipulator lying as always.

[MichMary]

28. Why would you think

he probably wouldn't have seen it? He's 11, has use of computers, phones, other devices, goes to school . . .

[eShirl]

33. it was just posted last night

did someone wake him up to show it to him?

[hexola]

34. Maybe - and I dont want to give the Trumps too much credit

But - as a parent, this is one of those things you have tell the kid about so they DON'T find out about by accident.

There is no way they could keep him from seeing or at least hearing about it.

So - you basically have to tell them its out there.

I mean - even the TODAY show led with it...

[MichMary]

37. No, it was posted Tuesday morning

It could easily have been the first thing he saw when he woke up. Don't kids have to immediately check their phones in the a.m. to see messages, etc? (Serious question, I haven't been a kid in a looooooong time, but I think that's what I would do.)

[MichMary]

36. It was posted Tuesday a.m.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/ct-kathy-griffin-trump-head-20170530-story.html

The picture, featuring Griffin wearing a navy pussy-bow blouse and holding aloft a bloodied imitation of President Trump's decapitated head, was first published Tuesday morning by TMZ.

The apology was posted last night.

[Motley13]

44. Brought back maggot's remark

2nd amend rights to stop Clinton. Was he worried about her child or grandchildren?
That was on TV for everyone to hear & see.
I had to search for Kathy Griffin's horrible image.

[Vinca]

30. Maybe he can show his son some dead lions, elephants and tigers and make him feel better.

[oberliner]

45. Little different from a picture of your father being decapitated

Also - this kid is not responsible for the reprehensible actions of his much older step-brothers.

[Vinca]

46. The most popular show on television is that living dead thing and kids are bombarded by

violent computer games so I'm sure the kid can figure out what's real and what's not. If he can't, he's got problem more serious than a comedian making a bad joke.

[Freethinker65]

51. +1

[Tarc]

35. This is the same outrage that Republicans showed over Ted Nugent's anti-Obama threats...

...oh...

...wait.

[RAFisher]

38. Who fucking cares? Go buy him a tshirt to feel better.

[leftyladyfrommo]

39. Good God ! Doesn't he have something better to Do? Nt

[-Steph-]

40. I wish she hadn't posted the image. I think it was selfish and not only distracts from the

real issues, but it also fires up his base at a time there was very little momentum. However, when did this orange prick suddenly start caring about his kids? It definitely wasn't when he was talking about sexually assaulting women, or when he was saying he would date his daughter if she wasn't related, or the thousands of other times he's done or said things that could hurt them.

[chelsea0011]

41. 7:14 AM tweet? Shouldn't he be at work?

[Motley13]

42. How would he even know Barron was having a hard time?

Barron has his own floor in dump Tower, Melania is the only one close to him.


More putz BS

[treestar]

43. Look at Donald use his son to play victim

[JHan]

47. He didn't have a problem with his supporters waving a disembodied bloody head mask of Hillary

Yes, it is "setting the narrative" a stupid narrative.

[Goodheart]

48. Did the moron allow his son to see that?

Sorry, but I'm not believing it.

[treestar]

54. Exactly. That kid would not find that

as a matter of course. So Donald is simply using him to be victim.

[tenderfoot]

50. I notice Trump isn't at offended by the torrent of violence unleashed since he took office...

same goes for everyone else clutching their pearls over this.

Griffin apologized... which is more than could be said for Ted Nugent.

[onecent]

56. Drumpf can talk about Kathy Griffin ALL HE WANTS....So who's taking care

of the white house.......NO ONE.....

His skin is really thin thin thin....
She apologized, go back to what you were working on Drumpf..

[Renew Deal]

57. He let his kid see it?

[B2G]

59. If he has a computer and a cell phone

there's no 'let' involved.

[JanetLovesObama]

60. Melania probably has that pic

framed in gold.

[JenniferJuniper]

61. "Bastion, I mean Bennett, I mean

Little Bannon...whatever his name is....is having a hard time. Bigly."
