    The photo undermines two carefully cultivated leftist myths: that Hispanics by definition disapprove of Trump and that he is a Mexican-hating racist. This was too much for the Democrats and their media allies who, with characteristic hypocrisy, attacked Trump for politicizing the tragedies.

    If Trump's a racist, he's really bad at being one because minorities are thriving under this administration.

    "President Trump is unleashing America's economic prowess. For the first time in more than a decade, GDP growth has reached 3 percent, and the United States unemployment rate has dropped to 4 percent.

    Minority unemployment rates have hit an all-time low, wages are rising, and American families are seeing the direct results of deregulation and economic reform."

    " As part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, Opportunity Zones provide a tax incentive to invest in areas where the unemployment rate is about 1.6 points higher than average. Approximately 56 percent of Opportunity Zone residents are minorities."

    "The Trump administration has created an economic climate that allows all Americans to prosper. A prime example is DAP Construction, a female-led, minority-owned firm that won the Minority Enterprise Development Week Construction Firm of the Year Award last fall."

    If you believe this, you're an idiot. Certainly, this is satirical right?[/QUOTE]

    I have taken many pictures at funerals... people smile, because that is what you do in a photograph. How should he have looked? Maybe he was proud of the bravery that saved the baby. Maybe he gave a thumbs up to say "ready" to the photographer.

    All this upheaval is just TDS. Plain and simple.

    I consider it an appropriate response to the post I responded to... was that one satirical?

    If you say yes, then mine is too..
