Trump can't help but be an asshole

[Raoul Duke MU]

This isn't a defense of the other questionable stuff he's said. But in this instance just that one line with no context looks terrible & it was a poor choice of words. But after watching the entire speech where he did nothing but praise them, i actually do think he meant that he only saw a small portion of the paralympics. Anybody who has watched the paralympics knows it's not stomach turning to watch. Now, I 100% think he was making fun of the reporter with a disability. And for that, there's no excuse. But not here.

Did Obama's joke about his own bowling ability making him a candidate for the special Olympics offend you this much?

I think Trump is one of those people who is going to be an asshole even if he doesn't mean to. As I said, no filter or common sense. He can praise them and still think it looks like a monkey trying to hump a football...but then let the last part slip out. Is this talent a personality trait? A personality disorder? Or is he just used to being powerful and not caring if he offends at all? I don't know for sure.

Honestly I wanted to slap Obama upside the head for that one. That's just a joke in very poor taste. But it's not the norm for him, at least.

i think this is a fair response
