One of the National Guard troops who was shot died
It seems the man who shot her WAS vetted-and the Trump administration granted him asylum
The tragedy is she was only there because Trump was trying to prove he's tough
So the fact that he attacked a female reporter over his own failures tracks

I can’t believe people in the room don’t push back. It doesn’t matter if he’s the president, part of holding him accountable is standing up to his bullying— especially if he’s doing it right in front of your face

Someone is making an ad with a montage of Trump verbally attacking journalists, right? (Ideally going back to Trump 1.0.) That should basically play on repeat from now until next November. I am so sick of this

TRUMP: If you look at Somalia, they are taking over Minnesota.
REPORTER: What do the Somalians have to do with this Afghan guy who shot the National Guard members?
TRUMP: Ah, nothing. But Somalians have caused a lot of trouble. They're ripping us off.

All of you know Trump is the US president who surrendered in Afghanistan, right? Made a deal in 2020 cutting out the Afghan govt, let thousands of Taliban fighters out of jail in exchange for nothing.
