Trump tweets "A beautiful funeral today...."

[dixiegrrrrl]

"A beautiful funeral today for a real NYC hero, Detective Steven McDonald. Our law enforcement community has my complete and total support."

a beautiful funeral???????? "beautiful" is not a word I associate with funerals....whadda ya think?

1. WTF? The word is "Moving" or "Poignant". But he has no empathy or capacity to feel

for other human beings so he goes with "beautiful".

Using the word beautiful in speaking of a funeral isn't necessarily out of place. It's just in a short tweet it comes across as unfeeling and superficial.

2. Beautiful in terms of moving, I can see.

It's slightly odd but far from the worst grammatical or word choice sin from the man who knows all the best words, like unpresidented and bigly.

3. meh, I might be inclined to give a pass on this

funerals can be beautiful. on the other hand, with him - he is probably just talking about the superficial visual aspects of the "show" so yeah he is so gross.

4. Limited intellect and very very limited vocabulary.

[Ilsa]

15. That's the issue. nt

[onecaliberal]

16. It's ridiculous for anyone to think someone so completely stupid could be POTUS.

[Ilsa]

17. "I have the best words." What the everloving fuck? nt

[onecaliberal]

18. Precisely

5. PR for the Trump team

I just read about Detective McDonald, he was a good man, he forgave the man who shot him!

This was nothing more then a PR game being played by the Trumpenfuhrer's team of propagandists...Trump would have to climb Mt Everest to even kiss the tip of Detective McDonald's shoe!

[Charles Bukowski]

6. He probably meant to say "beautiful service", which is more commonly

used than "beautiful funeral".

The man is an imbecile.

7. I think he is an ass. Such inappropriate use of words.

He's such an embarrassment. I can't stand listening to him.

8. Steven McDonald was a symbol of forgiveness and the triumph of love

When his son was born after he was paralyzed he said: “I’m sometimes angry at the teenage boy who shot me. But more often I feel sorry for him… I forgive him." He hoped his shooter would make something of his life. He said if people wanted forgiveness, they first had to show it to others.

IOW, Steven McDonald's whole life flew right over Donald Trump's head. The proof is he just used the man's funeral to push his law-and-order cred. Shut the fuck up, Donald.

9. Never mind the adjective.

Who the fuck TWEETS about a funeral?!

11. he tweets about everything and anything

[Tommy_Carcetti]

13. The idiot who's going to call himself President and leader of the free world in a week.

That's who.

[Retrograde]

10. I've heard the term before

usually refers to a service with a lot of attendees, nice flowers, a nice eulogy and a good breakfast afterwards. Come to think of it, "a nice funeral" was more common, and my older relatives who used terms like this were not highly educated and often didn't speak English as a first language.

[fishwax]

12. I'm fine with the phrase

[ConnorMarc]

14. This Isn't A Federal Case Guys

The term is acceptable.

Let's not become nit-picky to the point where every and any little thing is a federal offense.

Remember, if EVERYTHING is an offence, then NOTHING is an offence.
