I couldn’t watch Trump’s speech to the joint session of Congress. From what I read about it, he was the blowhard I expected him to be. What I didn’t anticipate was that he would use a kid with cancer for a prop.
I have three comments on the cancer kid. First, the Dems should have stood and politely applauded. Trump knows how to hold a crowd, how to make a point, how to trap people, and the Dems fell right into the trap.
Second, if you think Trump cares about kids, remember the hundreds, perhaps thousands, of kids who were separated from their parents, some of whom were never reunited with their mothers and fathers.
Third, think about the hypocrisy of the Republicans who pretend to be shocked, shocked, at the behavior of the Democrats, but say nothing about kids killed in school shootings or migrant kids or kids in poverty or Ukrainian kids kidnapped by Russians or kids who die of measles because of anti-vaxxers. I’m not buying their concern.
