Discussion: Trumps Not Greeted Typically By Local Officials During Pittsburgh Visit

I’ve decided I need an inflatable Trebuchet®. You know, just to fly in places. I like helium-filled vessels.

Fun Fact: I sometimes buy a helium balloon so I can drive around zigging and zagging just to see it go in the “wrong” direction.

It doesn’t have the reputation for niceness enjoyed by, say, Minnesota.

No, someone made him apologize for being stupid.

He is most certainly not going to stop being stupid.

I feel for the mourners who had to endure that on top of their grief.

So 45 “has denounced racism, hatred and bigotry in all forms on a number of occasions.” When precisely were those occasions? Did anybody bother to demand that SHS give concrete, verifiable evidence?

Hmm. What does this remind me of?

In the fall of 1996, a charity called the Association to Benefit Children held a ribbon-cutting in Manhattan for a new nursery school serving children with AIDS. The bold-faced names took seats up front.

There was then-Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani (R) and former mayor David Dinkins (D). TV stars Frank and Kathie Lee Gifford, who were major donors. And there was a seat saved for Steven Fisher, a developer who had given generously to build the nursery.

Then, all of a sudden, there was Donald Trump.

“Nobody knew he was coming,” said Abigail Disney, another donor sitting on the dais. “There’s this kind of ruckus at the door, and I don’t know what was going on, and in comes Donald Trump. [He] just gets up on the podium and sits down.”

Trump was not a major donor. He was not a donor, period. He’d never given a dollar to the nursery or the Association to Benefit Children …

As reported by David A. Farenthold two years ago.

I was waiting to see if he’d actually put on a yamulke. I don’t see any photos …

My honey just said, “I love the exclamation marks . . . just right! But on this subject, I’ll call them excremation marks, just more brown.”

I love my honey. (Actually, she objects to the “brown” comment, but is still laughing.)

So ye - what about those Blexit shirts you designed and dressed kids up in for another wh photo op? Oh - and how long will you hold this “distant” position?

Don’t be surprised to be faced with skepticism.

I think so too. There were two protests apparently and they ended up meeting and joining I guess. There were a lot of people who looked my age or older holding signs, too.

The MSM and cable news must stop saying Trump cares but he just does not how to show it.
Knock it the fuck off.
He is a POS and is not capable of rising above it.

2 things about the Trump Pitt visit-

The plane debarkment was eerie, if not royal-like. Trump and his paid madame stepped down the stairs in a Queen-like fashion, slow and pausing. After a suitable delay to pay homage to our King, Jared and Ivanka did the same exact thing as designated Prince and Princess. Perhaps I am being too critical, and they were paying respect to the dead from miles and miles away?

The other was trump’s very loud blue tie, extending to his crotch, as usual. Maybe I am an old conservative, but I would never consider wearing a bright blue tie to a funeral. The point of a funeral, or whatever this was, is to honor the deceased and family, not post a neon sign saying “look at me”.

Importing the Israeli Ambassador was a good touch. The only Jew (or other) they could get on short notice.
