What a dilemma for Trump supporters! [View all]

Should they focus on the victims and the families in El Paso or should they focus on the grievances of Donald J Trump?

Trump says he was treated like a "rock star" in Dayton and the fake news never even reported it. What is wrong with these people! Why do they disrespect the President!

FOX News, Rush Limbaugh, and Trump supporters, would have us believe it is more important that we focus on the grievances of Donald Trump. Their excuse is that he is just "fighting back".

We can see how easily some folks are distracted and manipulated. They feel that Donald Trump is the one that has been wronged in this mass killing in El Paso. Their duty is to massage the ego of Donald Trump.

We hoped that Trump would take a day off from "politics as usual", out of respect for those that were killed in El Paso and Dayton, but it was not to be.

Somebody criticized him and he just had to respond. No time to act "presidential". He has to hit back. That is the "norm" we are living in. It is always about him. Even when our citizens are being killed by white nationalists, he cannot address the issue in a sincere and honest manner. He is not capable of being honest, even for one day.

It's sad that we have returned to "normal" so quickly. It is disturbing that he can so easily distract and manipulate the media into talking about him, rather than the white nationalists that are killing our people, which many believe is because of his rhetoric and urgings.

Have we made a great discovery? Are there some people that do not have a soul?
