Shortly after Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley (D) concluded their press conference following President Donald Trump’s visit to Miami Valley Hospital Wednesday, White House Social Media Director Dan Scavino took aim at the Ohio officials on Twitter.
This is just how I want the “consoler-in-chief” to be received. Like an opera star - “me me me me me me me”.
ETA:
Earlier Wednesday, Brown announced he would meet with Trump in Dayton in the wake of a deadly shooting.
Should have gone to Toledo.
We’re seeing Trump revert to showmanship to both sides and to diminish Dem critiques. The media will eat it up but the focus on the issues of gun control and racism remain. In these two issues, Dems have the makings of a big time coalition. The gun control issue is something suburban white voters understand. The race issue is something POC understand. Meld them together and you’ve got a focused coalition that is more likely to ignore the noise and just vote.
I think that tweet was prewritten just waiting to hit “SEND”. It wouldn’t have been any different if Brown had shown up wearing a MAGA hat and a too-long tie.
Ummmm… because they’re Democrats who made Donnie feel uncomfortable by asking him to take his thumb out of his racist ass and do something about the guns? And to distract from the fact that many people in Dayton and especially in El Paso don’t want him and his hypocritical “I really don’t care, do you” immigrant wife anywhere near them? Maybe?
Treated Like Rock Star
Sid Vicious or Ozzy?
More like Pat Boone.
Sure. Milli Vanilli.
I’m sure Trump told the victims to have a great time. Asshole.
Pathetic and inappropriate on every level.
[Reposting] … and everybody got a cherish-able memento.
The only way this would bother Whiny is if there were no cameras and the victims groggily asked 'Who let THAT in?"
That’s a bit of a mischaracterization. It’s the illegal immigrant part that registers in the opposition to these howling hypocrites, and people probably wouldn’t care about the illegal immigrant history if it weren’t for Trump othering immigrants into non-people as a fundamental part of his nativist fascist strategy.
It seems Scavino wrote the release in advance with the help of Trump.
Additionally, being greeted by a rock star is more impressive than being greeted by a president? Well maybe this President!
Consoler in Chief
Young child: My mother and father were both murdered.
Toadglans: Where are they now?
A few minutes later, to a gathering of patients:
Look, everybody, I brought a T-shirt gun. Put up you hands if you want one.
Trump took it as a backhanded compliment. Maybe it was. Brown and the Mayor’s comments could have been interpreted by some, like me, as damning by faint praise. In any case, I guess Brown did not include enough terrifics, fabulouses and beautifuls in his testimonial.
Ah, the great uniter.
If the media falls for this, there are no more fucks for Beto to give.
I wish I could actually ask “what in the everloving fuck?” but this is pretty much what I expected from the Trump Terror Organization.
Those people are so loathsome. Top to bottom, they are loathsome.
I was really worried that those people who got shot would take the spotlight off of Whiny.
Thank god he was still able to make it all about HIM
