Trump's Stiff Chant Of Uvalde Victims' Names At NRA Rally Curdles Critics' Blood

[634-5789]

He ended his speech praising the National Rifle Association with his trademark "dance" step.

Former President Donald Trump’s mangled recitation of the names of the 21 Uvalde, Texas, mass shooting victims at the National Rifle Association’s convention on Friday made Twitter critics’ blood run cold. The names of the 19 children and two teachers, broken up into hardly recognizable syllables in Trump’s stumbling pronunciation, were interspersed with the funereal sound of a gong.

Despite the tragedy, Trump hailed the NRA in his speech at its convention in Houston and ended his remarks with his trademark clenched fists and “cha-cha-cha” dance move.

1. omg... he did that stupid dance?

[dem4decades]

16. I watched CBS Saturday Morning earlier, they showed Trump reading the names, with the bell, BUT

left off the end when he praised the NRA and did his little dance. Fuck you CBS, you're part of the problem.

[Boomerproud]

18. Why do they always protect him?

[dem4decades]

26. Don't want to offend anyone that likes that piece of shit, it's always about audience size -money.

25. CBSABCNBC...they control the vertical and horizontal...root of all the problems still remaining.

They protect the fascist party…cause there are only two horses, two make a horse race…one is not fun at all!

2. Like they say, it's a mental health problem

39. Proof positive.

Definitely a mental health problem.

3. A real President:

“Let the little children come to me," Jesus said, "and do not hinder them — for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven."

Charlotte. Daniel. Olivia. Josephine. Ana. Dylan. Madeleine. Catherine. Chase. Jesse. James. Grace. Emilie. Jack. Noah. Caroline. Jessica. Benjamin. Avielle. Allison.

God has called them all home. For those of us who remain, let us find the strength to carry on, and make our country worthy of their memory.

May God bless and keep those we've lost in His heavenly place. May He grace those we still have with His holy comfort. And may He bless and watch over this community, and the United States of America. (Applause.) - BHO Newtown, CT

20. And of course the real president spoke those lovely words at a community memorial service

and not a convention of gun lobbyists and manufacturers who were all complicit in the deaths. And Obama had met privately, off camera, to offer personal condolences to each family (if they wanted to meet with him) prior to the service. Thank you for posting this, although It breaks my heart that there was a reason to do so.

27. A real major news network would cover the fake crocodile tears with the derision it deserves.

But not in two party America, the Major Media butter their toast on both sides…no choice, really.

[Lovie777]

4. I didn't see it nor will I ever watch shithole . .. .

family members were saying he couldn't even pronounce their names correctly and appeared to be making fun of them.

5. Webster defines

The state of being depraved or corrupted; a vitiated state of moral character; general badness of character; wickedness of mind or heart; absence of religious feeling and principle.

[Kid Berwyn]

6. Depraved

He used an orphaned baby, whose parents died in the El Paso White Power massacre, as a prop.

[cayugafalls]

7. WTF? Why are they Smiling?

Jesus, that is the epitome of depraved.

[Kid Berwyn]

17. A photo op.

While he used the orphaned baby at the hospital, the pee-resident did not visit any of the eight hospitalized survivors.

34. That

frigging thumb...

[Kid Berwyn]

35. He did a little jig at the NRA...

The Worst Part of Trump’s Performance at NRA’s Convention Wasn’t When He Read Uvalde Victims’ Names

It was the little dance.

Hitler did a jig.



France had just signed the surrender.

37. Just when one thinks/assumes the realm of revulsion has been depleted,

not necessarily so...

[Vinca]

8. I can't watch the performance. And that's what it is. He would only give 2 shits about gun

victims if they were named Donald Trump (and not Donald Trump, Jr. either - he wouldn't care).

[Martin Eden]

9. If the God of the Bible actually exists

He would have smote that orange shitstain with a lightening bolt.

On multiple occasions.

[FailureToCommunicate]

14. God tried...

[Martin Eden]

28. That was foremost among the multiple occasions I had in mind

Perhaps it didn't work because that creature has no soul.

13. Did anybody throw fruit.

Maggot boy is afraid of fruit.
No guns were allowed at the NRA event. I thought guns made us safer. The NRA is informing us they don't make us safer.

[Captain Zero]

15. Dancing on their graves is more like it

So it sounds to me.
Some day we dance on his.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

30. The Devil dances on the graves of children...here he is.

[sop]

19. The two short videos at the link are truly horrible. The despicable POS literally oozes evil.

[Docreed2003]

21. Sick...sick and twisted

Why even do this if guns aren't the problem? Why use these children in such a sick display? This doesn't make Trump or the NRA look caring or compassionate.

[GoCubsGo]

22. It was just another rally to him.

He reads (or tries to) whatever is put in front of him on the teleprompter. Which is basically a lazy, cookie-cutter crapfest written by a lazy speechwriter. Mostly a litany of grievances. Same shit, different day. Calling his fuck-ups "stumbles" is being generous. When they say Biden is "in mental decline," they're really talking about Trump. The fucker can't even get the name of his own social media outlet right. EVERY rally is like this, right down to his bizarre attempts at dancing at the end. The only difference last night was the Gong Show stunt where he rattled off the deceased childrens' and teachers' names, and blathered some empty platitudes about them.

[spanone]

23. Worse fucking human on earth. Hands down.

[niyad]

24. Him, putler, and kimmie.

[TalenaGor]

29. Keep those kid's names out your fucking mouth

[Smackdown2019]

31. Why in GODS name did he read the deceased names killed by a Military weapon at a GUN Convention?

This is so fuked up!



Who in their right mind would read deceased names of babies that were shot by weapons you are trying to keep at a gun Convention? This way morbid and another assault on the parents of those deceased parents!

[SergeStorms]

32. I wasn't aware he had a "signature move"....

other than the scooping motion where he steals everyone's money.

I don't believe I care to see his "cha-cha" move. His lardness moves with all the grace and speed of a glacier, so I'll skip that if no one objects (and screw you if you do).

This man has no soul. I'm not entirely sure he's human.

[empedocles]

33. What was the Nra crowd reaction? Still all for trump?

[maxrandb]

36. Cruelty is the point

They fucking love Donnie Short Fingers

[empedocles]

38. TY. That crowd would know what the child bodies looked like during the carnage.

Cruelty
