Trump Insults Virginia Beach Shooting Victims By Showing Up In Church For 16 Minutes In Golf Clothes


Trump was supposedly going to a church in Virginia to offer his support after the Virginia Beach shooting, but instead, he showed up in his golf attire stood there and said nothing.
Trump insults Virginia Beach Shooting Victims

According to the White House pool report as provided to PoliticusUSA:

The motorcade arrived at McLean Bible Church at about 2:20 p.m., and the president entered. The White House passes along the following statement from Judd Deere:


“President Donald J. Trump is visiting McLean Bible Church in Vienna, VA, to visit with the Pastor and pray for the victims and community of Virginia Beach.” Judd Deere.

Trump did nothing to show his support for the victims.

Via the White House pool report:

POTUS stood on the stage behind the pastor. He was wearing khakis and a jacket over a polo shirt and holding a golf hat. The crowd greeted him with applause.

The pastor noted there had been calls to pray for the president on this day and offered a prayer.

….

POTUS did not make remarks while on stage.

To summarize Trump’s prayer for the shooting victims, the president showed up to a Virginia church in his golf clothes, stayed for about 15 minutes, and said nothing to pray or support the shooting victims.

1. Let me get this straight. They prayed for him?????????? You can't make this stuff up.

2. His base loves the disrespect

The more liberals object the better they like it. On a particular submarine veteran bbs, this story will gets cheers for Trump for again owning the libtards.

3. I just want to throw up.

[Initech]

4. He is so fucking classless!

[jberryhill]

6. Obama would have shown up in brown skin

They are fine with any president who doesn’t do that.

[jberryhill]

5. They don't care

He could show up drunk in a bathrobe and piss in the baptismal font, and they’d think he is a great man of God.

Hell, they’ll rush the altar to get dibs on their baby to be first in line for the next round of baptisms out of it.

7. I had to check the link before I was sure this wasn't The Onion. n/t

[LuvLoogie]

8. Because by definition, the people they hate aren't worthy

of God's love. trump shits on all the right people.

This does not contradict their brand of punative Christianity.

[lonely bird]

9. Pray for Trump?

I don’t think so. Donnie, there is a bus leaving in ten minutes. Please be under it.

[Mr.Bill]

10. What's worse than thoughts and prayers?

Not even having any thoughts and prayers.

[gratuitous]

11. Trump thought long and hard

And when he couldn't think of a way to make his appearance all about himself, he skedaddled. Besides, this service clashed with his reserved tee time.

[lpbk2713]

12. How many times did he look at his watch?

(Alright, let's get this over with. I gotta go.)

[struggle4progress]

14. "The pastor noted there had been calls to pray for the president on this day and offered a prayer"

Whenever there is a mass shooting, we pray for this golfer

[Gothmog]

16. trump lacks class

[3catwoman3]

17. H is such a clod.

Crude, crass, common and coarse.

[GusBob]

18. Ya know if Obama did this... oh shit never mind

[Blue_true]

37. There would have been a hot civil war. People like the ones in that church with Trump would

have gone apeshit that a Black man dared do something like that.

[BHDem53]

19. The ass has no class.

At least he wasn't wearing a tan suit.

[kairos12]

20. He is vile.

[Xipe Totec]

21. Not to put too fine a point on it, but Trumps mere existence is an insult to humanity. nt

[rocktivity]

22. I seem to recall Dick Cheney dressing inappropriately for a state funeral

Sorry, fake news -- it was actually an Auchwitz memorial.

23. He always finds a way to show that his "concern" for gun violence is disingenuous

and half hearted. Today was no exception. The simple truth is that he does not care. It would be just as well and perhaps even less disrespectful if he would skip the charade and go straight to his golf game.

But what a piece of shit.

[BigmanPigman]

24. They deserve each other...a match made in Hell!

I don't know who is worse, him and his attire or their prayers for HIM(?).

[orleans]

25. i'm trying to find a picture of this

and the only pic i see if the one at the link in op

[Volaris]

26. The sociopath doesn't even know how to FAKE empathy...

And as a sociopath, you're think he'd be slightly more skilled at that.

Even at being a good asshole, he's a complete failure smdh

[UniteFightBack]

27. Just imagine how much more they would of been offended had the big rump said something.

[LuvNewcastle]

28. Trash Church

[jmowreader]

29. He didn't go to a church to offer support to anyone, but to be worshipped

Y'know guys, the First Commandment is "you will not have any other gods but me."

To a lot of Trump's base, he has replaced Jesus as an object of adoration.

31. FYI, McLean Bible Church is near DC, not in Virginia Beach.

McLean is in northern Virginia- DC suburbs. (But it is of course quite handy to his @#$% DC-area golf course).
I seriously doubt that a single victim's family was there.
So it's not clear to me what this visit was supposed to accomplish other than a photo-op.(Also, probably the pastor is a Trumpite, and either invited him, or was happy to accommodate the charade).
Another day, another outrageously rude and clueless act by the Embarrassment in Chief.

[honest.abe]

34. Yes, about a 4 hour drive from VA Beach.

A fake show of concern.

[MBS]

35. Yup, fake on all levels. n/t

[PatrickforO]

32. Oh he tweeted out a request for us all to pray for him.

Twitter kind of backfired on him for that. It was funny in a sick, gallows-humor sort of way. Pretty much the way I feel about Trump all the time, the sick you-know-what.

[leftyladyfrommo]

33. I guess he didn't sing Amazing Grace. nt

[Blue Owl]

36. Shouldn't Beelzeblob have turned into a pillar of ash?

Dammit...

38. Fat Donnie wouldn't know Christianity if it sat on his face.

Given that this holy man has been married three times, perhaps it's time for him to have a review of a Biblical marriage by Mrs. Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian:
