Eugene Robinson: Trump grotesquely made his visits to Dayton and El Paso all about him
sltrib ^ | 08/07/2019 | Eugene Robinson

Washington • It is not just his stoking of white supremacist sentiment that makes Donald Trump such a dangerously unfit president. It’s also the corruption, the weakness, the ignorance, the incompetence and the stunning lack of empathy — all of which we saw this week on grotesque display.

What kind of man visits two grieving communities, shattered by horrific mass shootings, and somehow makes it all about him? I covered the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007 and had trouble sleeping for weeks afterward; colleagues of mine have had similar reactions to other massacres. Yet what apparently lingered with President Trump from his trip Wednesday to Dayton and El Paso was the tone of the coverage he received on cable news.

If the President did not go, you would have called him a racist nazi. Retard.

Maybe Trump got a few pointers from Obama!

The pinkos made el paso and dayton all about the President.

This whiner needs to go back and read Obama’s speeches and count how many times he said “I, me, myself”, etc.

If it was all about him, why then did he refuse to have the press in while he met with the first responders and families?

Eugene Robinson - Just another AA douche bag. Wears his race on his sleeve and then does nothing but whine about race.

Or, “He doesn’t care!”

Oh the irony you marble mouthed MORON. He condemns Trump for making it about himself and in the very next sentence makes the Virginia Tech shooting about HIMSELF!

I suppose all the people whose names I’ve heard before have already taken their best shot at our President, and the nobodies are stepping up now.

Had to look up Eugene to find out what a POS Hussein Head he is, and wasn’t at all surprised.

Pulitzer vs. Nobel prizes, hard to distinguish which is more meaningless.

But by Wednesday, in remarks to reporters at the White House, he was also denouncing "any other kind of supremacy," whatever that means.

Here's a clue for you, Eugene:

Trump was talking about black and brown supremacy. In other words, ANTI-WHITE RACISM by people like YOU.

If he didn’t go, they would have said he doesn’t care. Children. The collectivist mind is nine years old.

I am so tired of the TDS in the media. They apparently do not realize how foolish they are.

As an ex-Democrat I’m enjoying watching them flounder all over the place as they finally met an elected Republican who doesn’t take their crap, and throws it back in their faces with gusto. They’re used to dealing with milquetoast RINOS like the Bushes and the weeny media types like George Will and David Brooks, but now they’re flustered. President Trump has shown us what we knew all along. Push back against the left and they’ll fall apart so easily!

Robinson has been so consistently nasty and wrong for so long that I’ve found it quite easy to spot his columns in my Sunday paper simply by reading the headline.
