44. I believe it's worse then that.

Although he and his followers will try to frame this as an anti-abortion rant, the situation he is describing has nothing to do with abortion. As other threads here have described (often in heart rending detail, from the point of view of attending nurses and parents who have lost a child this way), this statement is describing the tragic circumstances where an infant is born with a birth defect that will not allow it to survive. tRump is attacking grieving parents over a family tragedy in his typical thoughtless and heartless fashion. THAT is what’s going to come back to bite him. Or one can hope.
