Trump: "No, I won't be going. No."--responding to question Will you pay your respects to John Lewis?

[riversedge]

Trump is beyond a national disgrace!

But as one re-sponder said--No one wants him there anyway!


"Do you plan on paying your respects to Congressman Lewis either today or tomorrow at the Capitol?"

Trump: "No, I won't be going. No."

Gotta love this new tone.

1. No, I won't be going... But I wish Ghislaine well...

2. I see they've replaced the helicopter with a vacuum cleaner.

3. Oh, well, he's not wanted anyway.

He is persona non grata, and he finally realizes it:

Disinvited to Bush I's funeral
John McCain's funeral
Yankee home opener.

He doesn't want to be booed.
Somewhere dimly within that lizard brain of his, he senses that the reception would be negative and negative enough that even he would feel the waves of antagonism.

4. He wasn't invited, Brian. He was asked to stay away. Plus, he was asked to not tweet anything today

He wasn't invited, Brian. He was asked to stay away. Plus, he was asked to not tweet anything today on Congressman Lewis.

9. I don't know if the Dennis Koch tweet is true

But Trump was also told not to congratulate Vladimir when he was doing one of his phone calls, and that didn't work out too good. Trump's not big on doing what he's told to do, or even what's suggested he should do.

5. Wait until Obama and Biden speak about John Lewis if asked to.

Without mentioning his name, they will rip Trump a new one in the most eloquent manner possible.

7. Good.

A national American hero doesn't deserve to have his final legacy disgraced by one of the greatest traitors this country has ever seen.

God forbid if President Carter passes during Trump's tenure, I can only hope Trump would likewise stay away.

8. Why would a racist white supremacist go to a black man's funeral?

fuck him.

10. Say what you want about him, he sure packs a lot of insecurity into 21 seconds. n/t

11. Playing to his KKK base.

12. He would not dare show his ugly mug.

I can only imagine the outrage his family would feel if he dared show up. He is a despicable man/child. He is a racist who has no place at a memorial for a man such as John Lewis.

I hope tRump is eventually disgraced to the point he is given none of the ceremonial events a former president would receive after his death. He only wishes he would get to be honored the way Mr. Lewis was honored. May he never be given the kind of loving, moving farewell that Congressman Lewis received this afternoon.

16. Awe come on! The My Pillow Guy would lead a wailing cry fest for the ages!

Melania and Ivanka would probably have quickie face lifts for the perfect camera-ready look.

13. Translation

"I was told to stay the fuck away!"

[misanthrope]

14. Regarding the "Can't hear you" and motion for the reporter to remove their mask

Perhaps the reporters should write out their questions on their pads -- or do they fail to anticipate the need for one -- tear out the sheet and hand it to Trump. Force him to read something and see what the result is.

15. When the motorcade was about to pass the White House

John King mentioned how unusual it is that a president was asked not to issue any statements or tweets about a representative's death.

I am so glad it is staying away. I wish it would never say anything about black folk.

17. Given Trumps vile mouth, I am so glad he was asked NOT to issue a statement or tweet.
