Trump going to El Paso is proof that he needs to be replaced.

He really is an insensitive jerk. There is nothing more to say, except one idea. If he had to go to El Paso, then he needed to shut up and listen. From what I read, he didn't do that. It shows what a real fool he is. He just cannot shut up and listen.

... but I agree with you, she's got Russian/ultraRW backing. She'll be out of the race soon enough.

3. Going to a place where people have asked you not to come is mean, vicious, and stupid.

Especially if you are talking about a city that is in mourning. Imagine if you can, someone has been shot dead by a relative, and the relative (say, a cousin) is arrested, but released on bond because of a technicality. Ok, everyone in the family knows that the family member has been shot and killed by the cousin. Further, the cousin is well known that he is mean and vicious.

So you tell the cousin,

"We do not want you to be at the funeral. Please do not come." So, the cousin shows up at the funeral anyway. That is who Trump is.

5. Chump's insensitivity has been on display for half of his life

Everyone knows about his bad behavior, the list is longer than both of my arms - and legs too.

Nobody is above the law, and Chump must learn that hard lesson. I believe our Democratic House has been working diligently and every day is a step forward. Chump will go down.

8. 4 words ..."Chump will go down" Also, the picture with the baby whose parents were killed.

That is it. Chump was asked not to come, he came anyway.
...Chump had that picture taken with the baby whose parents were killed, and within a couple of hours left. That picture with his smile, and thumbs up, is the proof. He thinks he has helped, but he has hurt more...

...."Chump will go down" ...the picture is the proof..

9. You are totally correct, and I agree with you. But that picture with the baby is proof

that all can see and clearly understand. He was asked not to come. Yes, he's," he's a fucking racist, fascist, full blown monster - ignorant, thoughtless, lacking in empathy and unfit to lead." Yes, of course.

..That picture of the baby with Trump and his thumb up and smiling is the proof of what you say. And Trump was told not to come. So he shows up anyway, and smiles for the camera for everyone to see. He is too stupid to know how stupid this was. The last thing we need to see is Trump smiling about this, and he was asked not to come in the first place.

Go to a city that hates his guts because he helped inspire the shooting or don't go to El Paso and go to Dayton, Ohio and look like he only cares about cities with white people.

14. Of course there was an alternative to what you have written.

He could have waited a while. Then go to one city at a time, when or if, the people in that city were willing to put up with him. Say, Trump waited a week, and then went. Having a minute to minute plan of what to say and do, and be totally respectful and say very little. He could have cancelled plans for a week, and then decided. Made some kind of special effort to moderate his speech especially in El Paso. The scene in the hospital with the baby is very sad. The idea that he may have had the baby brought back for the photo op, really created more hate and disgust than if he would have cancelled and waited.
..Donald Trump thinks he is smart, but he is not. A smart person would have waited and tried again.
