Dear God, how many grieving parents is he going to parade in front of us

[dflprincess]

and why are these people letting their dead children be used by this ass? They can't possibly think he actually cares about their pain.

1. I had the same thought.

Exploiting their grief and loss for his benefit. Shameless.

2. Fig leafs to cover the swamp Trump has only grown.

3. This reminds me more of an Academy Awards Ceremony. Lots of emotion.

4. My thoughts exactly.

He is disgusting. Not all of them look very appreciative of the gesture either.

5. He'll tweet it was the greatest SOTU in history tomorrow.

It's a disgrace how he's using them like this. I imagine the parents are hoping something good comes out of it.

6. What happened to the kids?

Not watching here.

Thanks

7. And he tells their stories with zero compassion.

So flat. Like a robot reading a teleprompter. Heck, SIRI has more personality and zip than this Trumpbot. Trump just has no idea how to tell a human story. He sounds so phony and contrived. Lifeless. Dull.

8. They aren't people to him.

They're props, nothing more.

He forgets them as soon as their bit in his speech is done.

10. "Thank you for clapping for me for how wonderful I am for

manipulating their grief for my aggrandizement."

11. Clearly, he has new speechwriters.

They don't seem to know him very well, though.

12. His use of human shields is vile.

13. Bet none of them were the Khans or the widow of La David Johnson

[dflprincess]

15. You would be correct. nt
