Michigan lawmakers on both sides of the aisle condemned President Donald Trump after he made a jaw-dropping remark during a rally Wednesday in Michigan about late Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) possibly being in hell.
Once again his cruelty and tone-deafness knows no bounds. But will he pay a price?
The Chosen One never has to pay.
You know doing some maths, John Dingell served 60 years as a Congressman, so that works out to about 30 elections, and how many elections has Trump won (OK stolen, or been given)?
Prepare for the double-down, and/or pivot to something worse.
Whatās wrong with āvulgarā or even āmoronicā? I think those words are truer to form than ādisgustingā. But, hey, at least our vulgar, spineless moron-in-chief is being called to task.
Right, donāt hold your breath waiting for an apology, his mental illnesses wonāt permit it.
Impeach the motherfucker!
Oh, right we did that.
Trump is the most grotesque example for Americaās youth. THE WORST!
When trump is offending people, he is delighting his slackjaw base.
āHeās not afraid of hurting peopleās feelings,ā say the MAGAts who regard political correctness as an existential threat. If heās pissing off libtards, heās winning.
GOP And Dem Michigan Lawmakers Tear Into Trump Over Cruel Dingell Attack
Please, Michigan leadership, make it count. Trump should no longer be welcome in your State. Trump should not be allowed to campaign in your State. He should be persona non grata over this.
At long last, sir, have you NO decencyā¦?
Perfect clip for Dems to run over and over and over in this swing state.
And you know, what did Trump do personally when John died, he quivered and finally signed the order for the flags to be lowered. So signing his name on that order was the best that Trump could do for a man who served his country WW II and then a career in Congress.
Trump didnāt have to plan a funeral, be a pall bearer, or do anything else but sign a damn piece of paper.
only one that anyone knows about, last night, in the House of Representatives, he finally secured the majority of the votes
Trump will never apologize but he could lose the state of Michigan. His cruelty to a grieving family is despicable but it is who he is. This is nothing new. He disparaged prisoners of war, Goldstar families, women, a Judge of Mexican heritage hearing his case wrt Trump Univ., called Mexicans rapists and people still voted for him. Past is prologue and donāt expect him to be at all chastened. He will find someone or something else to keep his supporters frothing.
He pulled similar post-mortem crap with McCain, even hiding the name of a naval ship. Anybody who has been riding the Trump train to this point is not going to give a shit about this. He is their asshole.
You know, he just might. At least in Michigan, a battleground state.
I never expected bipartisanship from Republicans on anything. For them to speak out tells me two things. First of all, Rep. Dingell must have been a legend, an absolute giant in Michigan for so many on both sides of the aisle giving him such respect in this age and time. Secondly, for Republican politicians and even his carefully curated audience to groan in protest means heās jumped the shark. He wonāt apologize -he never does - but this wonāt be forgotten.
Two chinks in the armor yesterday. Perhaps his supporters will begin to slowly realize thereās much less there than meets the eye?
Just give it a few hours, heāll say something even more outrageous and itāll all be forgotten.
Yes, he was.
Of course, that also means he spent decades protecting the automobile industry ā in its vicious fight against fuel-economy standards, for example.
One could discuss the human and financial cost due to global climate change ā but perhaps not today.
When does an intentional cruelty toward a deceased lifelong public servant; directed toward hurting his widow, not boomerang in a bad way? I know that this is America, but I choose to think that most of our citizens still have a caring soul no matter who occupies the Oval Office.
