I can only suppose his advisors said he shouldn’t go, so he decided he should, especially after the female, Hispanic, Democrat told him to stay away. How DARE she?!?!?

Coming to campaign, don’t you know, with Melania in her, “I don’t care do you” jacket with her “Be Best” hat.
I knew if someone told him not to come, he’d be right there just like after the synagogue shootings.

I don’t think it appropriate to come to a place you are not welcome.

Too bad the shooter gave up.

El Paso Mayor Says Trump Will Visit The City On Wednesday

Why? To throw a few rolls of paper towels to stem the bleeding? One of his fan-boy thugs shoots up the place, and he wants to use it as a photo op? What an asshole.

He spent the weekend playing golf in NJ and said only “a lot of things are in the works.”

Bullshit. Nothing’s in the works but more words. Or he can read from a teleprompter and say this bit of gibberish again and in a passive voice.

“These sinister ideologies must be defeated.”

I hope O’Rourke blasts him for this. His mere presence makes a mockery of the tragedy. A slap in the face and everyone knows it. The entire GOP is pretending he is not indirectly responsible for the implied violence … but somehow a 21-year-old got the message loud and clear.

Mr. Margo try using the visit to collect the 400K that Trump owes from last visit.

This time tell him to pay upfront for his security from local law enforcement or y’all are gonna be out of another 400K. Just thought I’d say I told ya so before having to say “I told ya so.”

Maybe he can sign more photos of the murdered like the last time.

Will Bernie be traveling with him to talk about mental illness? Or will Bernie just let Trump speak for him on this issue, and cut out the middle man?

Is he bringing paper towels to clean up the blood?

Ugh. Stay out of Malibu, Lebowski.

Except you’re not the Dude. You’re very un-Dude. In fact, you’re the fucking fascist.

It would be too uncomfortable for the racist in the WH to talk about mental health because his is so precarious.

Maybe he’ll bring paper towels with him. That went over so well with “that other Latino community”.

I can’t wait until he declares himself the best thing that ever happened to El Paso…Just give it a week or two. It’ll happen.

I swear, I should really train myself to read upthread some. I’ve made just about the same comment two or three times today right after someone else like yourself said almost the same thing.
