Showing respect has a completely different meaning for Trump. Those victims deserve better.
When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:
In 1949 the US military held its first Aeriel Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."
The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.
So they refused to announce a winner🤡

I ask Alexander Lukashenko “How can you call this a democratic election when your main rivals are in prison or exile?” Lukashenko said recently “People shouldn’t have their mouths shut [be silenced]”. So will he free his opponents? “Prison is for people who opened their mouths too wide” he says.
