Consoling Photo-op

Knowing the circumstances, how could anyone with a heart and a drop of empathy smile like that? Every time I think of that mother sacrificing herself for her baby it brings tears to my eye.

I want to know who the **** thought a photoshoot was a good idea, with smiles and all? This isn't a smiling matter.
 

Hmmm...

Speaking to NPR radio, Tito Anchondo, the child’s uncle, and brother of Andre Anchondo, said: “I think people are misconstruing President Trump’s ideas. My brother was very supportive of Trump.”
The boy's grandfather told Spanish newspaper ABC the family were "very happy" with Mr Trump's visit and that the president was "kind and sympathetic".

What's the problem, slow news day?

Trump smiles and give a thumbs-up, likely for the positive that the child survived and his remaining family (who apparently were happy with Trump's response) are there for him. I guess the family member standing next to Trump should not have been smiling either, and look at that wicked Melania! The NERVE of her smiling while holding the baby! :roll:

This is the first of two threads on this already, both focusing on a small issue to make it a negative, as usual.

Once again, any effort to make the President out to be a demonic monster, by any means necessary, with the sole design to change minds come election time. Call a spade a spade people, that's the sole point of this article's slant.

Not a slow day at all! I am sure that neither Trump nor Melania said, “ hey you know that infant who was orphaned, let’s get him for a picture.” Whomever is in charge of arranging things like this and reviews what gets released is responsible here. Regardless of the surviving family’s political, view the parents nor the infant have a choice. This will play well in the family photo album in the coming years. All that is needed is a Presidential autograph..........

Surprised they didn’t put a MAGA hat on the infant......

Trump makes the final decisions of whether he will be in a photo-op, yes? so yeah, it was poor judgement by not only Trump but to the others that actually set this photo-op up. Yes, there is a time and place for everything and this was not the time for a photo-op.

Used to be you could count on righties to at least be decent for the most part but since you guys support Trump, the bar you've set is in the sewage now. Trump is leading by example on how to be the most disgusting man.
 
Gorgeous little boy and look at that smile.

He has no idea how much his life has just changed. "Famous" now because his adopted parents were victims of a mass shooting, he was injured and later on in life he can look back on that picture and the fact that he was also used as a convenient photo op at the time. He had been discharged from hospital and brought back for the photo op. A few days after his life changed forever, everyone is smiling like it's the greatest thing ever. That's pretty heartbreaking.

The problem, as you and I both agree, is that twump is human filth, willing to use any tragedy for self-promotion.

He's been a whore his entire life.

This baby's aunt (sister of brother/father killed) took to her FB and excoriated the disgusting Democrats for politicizing her brothers death immediately and disgustingly raising money off of her tragedy. You want to talk inappropriate and feckless? Look no further than Democrats making hay off of dead people killed by a man who spewed Leftist ideology and made a point to say Trump is NOT responsible for his heinous shooting.

Oh, and spare me the chest heaving...

It really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. The aunt and uncle who have just lost a brother and a sister, will now care for their nephew. They were very pleased that the president and first lady spent time with them. The visit and the picture will remain meaningful to them. And that is all that matters.

Why post photoshopped pics? What's the point?
I mean, "Political Clown Parade"? Really?

We don't have to try. We don't have to photoshop Trump photos to make it look like he was being an out-of-touch creep. He puts them out as his publicity photos. He is proud of his big cheesy thumbs up over an orphaned baby. Edit: apparently it was Melania who thought this photo would be a good one to share on her social media. I used to feel sorry for her -- maybe she didn't know what she had gotten herself into and what a nightmare he would turn out to be -- but she has shown they deserve each other and apparently her judgement is not a lot better than his.
