'Heinous personality': Internet unleashes on 'psychopath' Trump after he jokes about crash



Before all the bodies of the 67 people killed in a mid-air collision Wednesday night have even been recovered, President Donald Trump made a quip about the tragedy. One comment Trump recently made from the Oval Office resulted in anger and outrage on social media.

On Thursday evening, while taking questions from reporters from the Resolute Desk, Trump demurred from answering questions about whether he would meet with victims' families. But in one exchange, he suggested to a reporter that he didn't plan to visit the site of the crash, which happened above the Potomac River, because he didn't want to "go swimming."

"I have a plan to visit — not the site, because, you tell me, what's the site? The water? You want me to go swimming?" Trump said. "I don't have a plan to do that, but I will be meeting with some people that were very badly hurt — with their family member, obviously."

Pennsylvania Capital-Star correspondent Nick Field theorized that because the fatal plane crash took up the bulk of TV news coverage on Thursday, Trump was "p—d" and "had to rectify that by putting his heinous personality on display and stealing attention." Writer and comedian Akilah Hughes wrote on Bluesky: "Wow. What a piece of s—."

"Absolutely no empathy at all," TV actor and writer Jean-Marcos González posted to X.

Attorney Chase Madar lamented that Americans were "in for another four years of this s—." Author and artist Oisín McGann responded to the video of Trump's comments by writing: "Okay, so he's a psychopath." And actor Nazarin Nour tweeted that she "hate[s] this f—ing idiot."

"People’s loved ones died in that water, children included, and he makes a joke," Nour wrote.

PA GOP Senate candidate who says he 'started with nothing' actually grew up in a mansion

Image
David McCormick, who is Pennsylvania's presumptive Republican U.S. Senate nominee, has often suggested he grew up poor in a rural community. But a new report finds that his upbringing was far more affluent than he's suggested. The New York Times reported Friday that McCormick — a former hedge fund executive who lived in Connecticut as recently as 2022 — has been cagey with voters about his childhood. McCormick has tweeted that he was "raised in Bloomsburg working on his family's farm," said on a 2022 podcast that he " started with nothing " and told CBS News that same year that he " didn't have anything " growing up as the son of two schoolteachers. But according to the Times , McCormick's father, Dr. James H. McCormick , was appointed president of what is now Bloomsburg University by Gov. Milton Schapp (D) in 1973. He moved his family into Buckalew Place — the official mansion for presidents of the school that currently spans 5...

'Uniquely egregious': Judge orders newspaper to delete editorial criticizing government

Image
Without even conducting a hearing, a Mississippi judge ordered a local newspaper to remove an editorial criticizing local officials over a lack of transparency. The Independent reported Wednesday that the Clarksdale Press-Register in Clarksdale, Mississippi has since deleted the editorial in question following an order handed down by Hinds County Chancery Court Judge Crystal Wise Martin. The editorial called out municipal leaders in Clarksdale for not properly notifying the public about a hearing on proposed tax increases. Judge Martin's order accused the paper of "reckless disregard of the truth," and asserted that the editorial disrupts the local government's "legitimate function to advocate for legislation they believe would help their municipality during this current legislative cycle." "The notice was posted at city hall as required by law and said stated the city would 'give appropriate notice thereof to the media,'" the editori...

Trump was hit by glass fragments — not a bullet: report

Image
Law enforcement officials have claimed to two different sources that former President Donald Trump was not grazed by a bullet but rather by glass shards. The officials in question told both Newsmax's Alex Salvi and Axios' Juliegrace Brufke that Trump was hit by glass shards that may have erupted from the shattering of a teleprompter that was hit by gunfire. Earlier on Saturday, law enforcement sources confirmed that the person suspected of firing a weapon at a Pennsylvania Trump rally had been killed, as had at least one person in the crowd. Videos showed Trump grabbing his neck after apparent gunshots had been fired before Secret Service agents pulled him to the ground. They then took him away in an armored vehicle to a hospital where he was treated for injuries. The identity of the shooting suspect has not yet been released. from Alternet.org https://ift.tt/ILgqr53 via sinceretalk
