Trump Beefs With Crying Babe At Rally: 'Get The Baby Out Of Here!'

Source: Talking Points Memo

It's been a big week for Donald Trump. The GOP nominee attacked the family of a Muslim-American soldier killed in the line of duty, took a shot at victims of workplace sexual harassment, and on Tuesday, started beefing with a baby during a Virginia rally.

"Don't worry about that baby," Trump said after a crying infant could be heard on a broadcast of the speech. "I love babies, I hear that baby crying, I like it! What a baby! What a beautiful baby."

"Don't worry, the mom's running around, don't worry about it! It's young and beautiful and healthy, that's what we want," he continued. The New York businessman went on talking about China's "devaluation" of its currency.

"Actually, I was only kidding. You can get the baby out of here," he then said to laughs from the crowd. "I think she really believed me that I love having a baby crying while I'm speaking."

On the other side of the coin, the last time I heard a baby crying was for 6 hours non-stop in the seat next to me flying from Boston to San Diego. It got a bit irritating after the first hour and went down hill faster and faster

Because he could not stand that someone was talking attention away from his speech. Any other politician would have spun that into a cute sound bite and good will, but not Trump.

If It was Obama he would have invited the woman onstage and calmed her scared crying baby.

Because I'd be scared at the negative vibe of a Cheeto hate rally if I was a baby or small child.

Hardly surprising. Author of Dumpf's "autobiography" was on Last Word (MSNBC) and told about how damaged The Don is. Said he's a "black hole" who sucks up the attention; that he's utterly incapable of feeling sympathy, much less the empathy Khizr Khan said GE lacked.

Home, Mom and Apple pie is now, "Get that rug rat outa here"

A famous quote worth repeating, "If I come home and dinner isn't on the table there's going to be trouble"

Many of us baby boomers had a dad like this. Abusive, dismissive of his wife and kids sacrifices and accomplishments Shows up after work puts his feet up and expects everything to be handed to him and then threatens a beating to anyone who questions his authority or even says something he disagrees with.

And that is exactly the kind of white male tin pot working class tyrant he is hoping to get him elected

Good luck It's not the fifties anymore

I don't think Trump's behavior was bad in this instance. It's not a good idea to bring a baby to a political speech in the first place, but if a parent does, and the baby cries for more than a very short time, out of consideration to the speaker AND to other people attending, the parent should take the baby out of the room.
