I couldn't even imagine Trump giving a condolence address following a national tragedy.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

You know, like how President Obama went to Newtown after the Sandy Hook shooting?

Or President Clinton at Oklahoma City.

I wouldn't want him within 1000 miles of wherever it happened. He ruins absolutely everything.

[MiniMe]

1. It would be all about tRump

Not about the nation.

[virtualobserver]

4. or he would trivialize it in some way.....or take a completely insane position on whatever happened

[workinclasszero]

5. That's exactly what I was thinking

"Dear friends we are gathered here today to speak about.....hey did you see the latest job figures? Looking fine folks real fine"

[spanone]

2. it would start with him citing a litany of his great achievements.... that don't exist

[WinkyDink]

3. "And I hope everyone here has some of my terrific wine, great vintage, at the luncheon following."

[Motley13]

6. "I have the biggest crowds" would be the 1st thing out of his mouth

[treestar]

7. Exactly

Don the Orange Con just can't do it. He has no compassion at all.

[nolabear]

8. I occasionally wonder what would happen if GHWB died.

Would they let him speak? I think they'd have to dart Barbara.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

10. All I can say is that I want to make sure President Carter survives at least four more years.

Or until Trump gets thrown out of office.

We can't have arguably the finest, most decent human being to hold the office of the Presidency to be eulogized by the very worst human being to be President.

[nolabear]

12. Oh god I can't even imagine. They'd have to dart ME!

[Aristus]

9. Of course not. Because a condolence address is what he should have delivered

instead of an inaugural speech, such as it was...

[uponit7771]

11. +1, "He ruins absolutely everything." amen !!! He's a 100% screw up !!!

[Initech]

13. He would seriously make it about him and his precious 306 electoral votes.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

15. Trump at Sandy Hook:

"I see we're here in Connecticut. I love Connecticut, even though you have that liar Richard Blumenthal for a Senator who totally lied about Vietnam. I'm going to carry Connecticut next election, believe me. Anyways, sorry about the dead kids or whatever. Let's make America great again!"

[Initech]

17. I can imagine him at Heather Heyer's funeral:

"White supremacy is bad, very bad. Many sides are guilty of this. Not just one. Many sides. But not me or my administration. We got 306 electoral votes. This is huge, believe me. The fake news media is saying that I never said those things about her or the KKK, but I did. And the cities in this country are tearing down their heritage. This is bad. Very bad. But we will make America great again!"

[Orrex]

14. He would spend the time talking about fake news and his electoral victory

And, if it happened this week, he'd rant about Graham for a bit.

[NastyRiffraff]

16. Gov Terry McAuliffe doesn't want Dump in Charlottesville

if he "continues on with the speeches he has given the last couple of days."

Which he will. He's doubling down every day.

Charlottesville is a beautiful, mostly liberal, city. He would not be welcomed by the locals there.

[Danascot]

18. In his mind, victims are losers

The biggest loser doesn't like losers.

[muriel_volestrangler]

19. I seriously think his staff would try to drug him in some way

to prevent embarrassment. Other Republicans have some sense of decorum in a tragedy. But you really couldn't trust Trump to behave like a sorrowful human being, since he doesn't care about other people. He'd make it about himself, at the minimum. Look at Charlottesville - he ended up claiming he owned his son's winery, and exaggerating its size, just to make it about himself.
