    Forget empathy. No one with even one molecule of honest works ever do such a thing and no one with honesty would ever condone, excuse it, or make up excuses claiming that such a heinous act was in any way acceptable.

    Sadly no Trumpocity supporter has the testicular fortitude to man up and tell the Boy that thus us not acceptable behavior for a POTUS or for that matter any human being.

    I heard that Dicks Sporting Goods sells balls his supporters need to go buy some.

    Thumbs up and smiling for all occasions...

    Well, at least I now have tacit approval for my pose when I hear of the death of Donald Trump...

    Unfortunately it’s true.

    “The orphaned child, named Paul, had been brought back to the hospital – reportedly at the request of White House during the visit by the Trumps on Wednesday. The baby’s uncle, standing next to Donald Trump, is reportedly a Trump supporter, as was the deceased father.

    The baby was injured, breaking his fingers, in the shooting, after his mother died trying to protect him and her body fell on him. His father had dived to try to shield her as bullets flew.”

    Maybe the father would be supportive of this glorious moment in trumps presidency. He does look proud.

    They are now saying the photo op was not planned or staged.
    Another lie that will be ignored by many.

    Don't worry its not. The total number of victims (or families of victims) from both El Paso and Dayton that were asked and then declined to meet with the President is eight, a total of two families. This according to WaPo that also reported a number of victims that were discharged requested to return (along with family members) to the hospital specifically to meet the President and the First Lady. The Washington Examiner (IIRC) also had a piece yesterday where the person they're calling the 'El Paso hero' saw the President get down on bent knee to hug a child, and sit with people in their hospital beds, and other similar accounts. News outlets tell the stories they want and most of them just want you to hate the President. Its up to us all to do the work and make up our own minds .. or not. /shrug

    At times like these, it's what the media should be reporting, no matter who is President. It helps bring people together and helps the healing process.

    So did trump not pull this injured child from home to stage a political photo op, deny they staged it, grin and thumbs up at the photo shoot. Feel free to post some sources on your claims though, I would love to see it instead of constantly being reminded of the human dumpster fire that is trump.

    This thread is just another example of how serious TDS is.It should be classified as a serious mental disorder - officially.Everone is smiling in that photo, and the kiddo will be well taken care of until the rest of his life.Melania will make sure.She did more for kids in the U SA than Hillary and Michelle together.

    The smiling guy on the left in that photo is the baby's uncle. He is who brought the infant back. Hes quoted as saying "I want him [Trump] to know our family stands with the President" and that he wanted the President to visit the family's business. So I'm not sure where exactly this fake news story claiming Trump nefariously demanded the presence of the infant for a photo-op came from but clearly its not based on fact. If anyone wants to show me otherwise keep in mind that TDS based conjecture won't do the trick - at least not for me.

    Everyone knows, although some are having a hard time internalizing it.

    Like trump said, he could shoot someone in the middle of Times Square and not lose a single supporter. “It’s incredible”. Almost cult like

    A few things about El Paso: I lived there for 2 years and now I've lived next to it for the last 6, and I'm here to tell you that Trump has a lot of supporters in the area. On top of that, the people who say they don't like him have actually supported many of his ideas over the years and only hate Trump because the MSM tells them to.

    While El Paso is a liberal city in a conservative state, the place would be considered right of center if it was in CA or NY. When you ask people here why they're democrats even though they share Trump's ideas, they'll tell you they and their families have always been democrats so why change? Here's the clincher, When O'Rourke stood on Rim Rd in El Paso and told CNN he would tear down the fence between one of the world's most dangerous cities and one of the safest big cities in American, that was the day people realized that maybe being a democrat, and especially an O'Rourke supporter, might not be such a good idea.

    The TDS has really gotten out of hand ---- who in the hell would try to put a negative spin on something like this?

    Thank God for posters like you @apexofpurple for sharing the truth and stopping this ridiculous Trump bashing attempt in its tracks.

    The best defense against the lies and spin of liberals/ progressives/ Democrats and the media is to correct every lie, half-truth and unfair attack, and hope increasingly more people will begin to see thru the bullsh*t.

    I'm going to call this one a 50/50.... Apparently, the uncle did voluntarily bring his nephew in for a photo op with Trump, which I find a bit strange, but acceptable... The WH is off the hook for pre-arranging the photo (in my book).

    However, I still find the crazy smile and thumbs up inappropriate under the circumstances....
