Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Despicable.

On the day of the failed miserable embarrassment of a birthday party put on by Trump himself, what does he say about the horrific assassination that took place in Minnesota by a rabid Trump supporter that same morning? Trumps first words? “Walz is a failed governor and grossly incompetent person.” Think about that for a few minutes — that’s your guy. Why do you vote for these people? Don’t you respect yourselves enough to at least elect moderately intelligent people with an ounce of empathy/decency? Rest in peace, Melissa and Mark.
