This is a great way to honor her daughter, Heather. Good for you, Susan Bro. Stay strong.
Thank you fair lady.
I was heading to the comments to say the same thing. Obviously his reactions in this whole affair are abhorrent - what more can be said? Looking forward, the sheer incompetence of his administration is just staggering. How could they not know she was at her daughterâs funeral? The sad answer is that they just donât care.
Itâs fine MomâŚThat fat ass Trump flew from NJ to DC to NY and back to NJ before he could make a comment or fly his ass to VA to âcomfortâ the peopleâŚand then he turned and fked everything and everyone with his rude stupid âtweetsâ and words. He hasnât insulted MY kids and I wouldnât speak to him.
The best part of my week was watching those people speak at the funeral. What great examples of humanity in the face of personal tragedy.
How awful the circumstances we face when the funereal of a young woman is the highlight of the news.
In a very real way, Trump is responsible for her daughterâs death. Unless he was calling to say he was sorry for what he has done to the country, no one should take that manâs call ever again. This woman has behaved as well as a person thrust into her situation could. I admire her.
If Trump responds to this âprovocationâ on Twitter, as seems very likely, there might be a Joseph Welch moment from the GOP leadership.
I give that .1% chance of happening.
Good for her. Everyone who talks to Trump or poses for a picture with him legitimizes him just a little bit more.
Thatâs what got me too. During the fucking funeral! Which tells us one of two possible things. Either his aides didnât bother to prep the call, to set it up, or he called at a time when he knew she wouldnât be available and he wouldnât have to talk to her. I think itâs the latter.
But didnât he say he waited to make his statement until he had all the facts? All of them? So how did he miss the permit question?
Itâs probably staff incompetence, but I can also imagine that Trump thought maybe his call could be piped into the funeral and cause him to garner even more media attention.
Thatâs giving him the benefit of a strong doubt. I tend to assume that there was no mistake in this. Thatâs exactly when he (and the staff) meant to call.
While Congress is nearly unanimously passing bills limiting Trumpâs ability to remove sanctions, they might also vote to keep him from intruding on people suffering serious grief. The idea of a parent who lost a child having to talk to that psycho is just not a thing that bears thinking about.
We can assume they did know. Of course they knew. The kindest interpretation is that this was to establish deniability: âThe president called but she wouldnât speak to him.â
I donât doubt that the real reason was pure dickishness.
What are the odds that Trump will respect when a woman says no to him? Heâll rage tweet at her, keep calling, or both.
Yeah, and why should she provide a photo-op for that cretin. Good on her.
everything TRUMPf touches becomes toxicâŚhe called during her daughters funerals because he knew the media would be there, and he could piggy- back on this mother;s griefâŚobviously, the ALT-PRESIDENT doesnât âgetâ a womanâs protective instincts for her child when the child has been harmed./ killed⌠the outrage a parent feels when the person who makes excuses for the killers, tries to impose himself on the childâs deathâŚknows no boundsâŚget him out of here!
I was headed here to make the same comment. Even the most brain dead staff member wouldnât make this kind of mistake. It has to have been on purpose, probably set up by Bannon or Gorkaâs suggestion, to prevent Man-Baby Snowflake from actually having to be exposed to real, human grief.
Good
