Almost as if He Was Unmoved by the Tornado Victims’ Suffering
President Donald Trump spent a few hours in Alabama, reviewing the devastation caused by a series of tornadoes and spending time with Americans who lost loved ones, homes and businesses.
He left after about three hours, including the 25 minutes in the air reviewing the horrific damage from Air Force One, according to pool reports.
While on the ground the President reviewed a line of crosses honoring the 23 people who lost their lives last Sunday. He then spent some time in a local Baptist church, where he autographed Bibles.
Immediately after leaving Alabama, the President did not post tweets of encouragement, no promises of help or support, no words of kindness or hope.
Instead, launched into a rapid-fire tweet and retweet session, mostly about the Special Counsel’s Russia probe. So far, 15 tweets in just over an hour’s time.
It’s almost as if he was unmoved by the tornado victims’ suffering.
At one point the President of the United States retweeted five tweets from a conservative author, including one that labels the Democratic Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Congressman Jerry Nadler, “Joe McCarthy,” the disgraced Cold-War era U.S. Senator.
Trump also attacked his former, and now fired Attorney General, Jeff Sessions:
The President also retweeted conspiracy theories from the head of a far right wing science-denying activist organization that has spent years targeting former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former President Barack Obama.
He also retweeted a video from Fox News’ Lou Dobbs, that falsely claims “Democrats couldn’t condemn anti-semitism,” and one that calls Democrats “radical Dimms.”
