We have seen the recent attempt to make Trump look empathetic and honest.
And to make Melania look decent and normal.
It all appears to be a coached and rehearsed attempt to cover up the fact Trump is a
ruthless psychopath. And Melania is not much better.
Trump has been pretending to have empathy for the military loss of life in the Ukraine/Russian war.
This from a man who is a known criminal. He did not care at all about 1 million Americans
who died during Covid as he did nothing to help them. In fact he and Kushner sold
much needed taxpayer funded medical equipment and supplies to foreign countries for cash.
Trump did not care about the women he raped, delighting in tricking and manipulating them.
Trump did not care about the members of congress when he sent a vicious mob to attack them.
There are too many examples of Trump's callous disregard for the welfare of others to list them all.
But now we are supposed to believe he is so distressed about the loss of Ukrainian
and Russian soldiers. When we know that he he sees the US military as suckers and losers.
And cannot even be bothered to show up at memorial events for them.
Recently Trump made reference to himself as an honest man in a Time Magazine interview.
All the while we see Trump lying repeatedly in TV interviews. Lying about tariff deals, talking
with other leaders, etc. Trump is a pathological liar and criminal.
Then who will forget Melania's appearance at the Pope's Funeral. Dressed in widow's weeds, all
black, lace veil, gloves. Looking grief stricken and heart broken. She looked like a mafia
wife at a mob funeral. She and Kristi Noem are the top Trump Barbie dolls who are good at
cosplaying various Trump propaganda points. They look ridiculous, dishonest, and crazy.
I guess the WH wanted to rehab Melania after she showed up at Jimmy
Carter's funeral wearing a Valentino Coat with a large collar depicting a nude couple having sex.
Will the US public buy the WH attempts to rehab the Trump crime syndicate?

(68,774 posts)Gaudy and in poor taste. Desecrating the WH even more.
I read Trump installed his fake family coat of arms on the entrance into the WH.
And of course installed all the fake gold crap throughout the Oval Office.

(24,947 posts)There is no way he can appear normal and Melanoma's (first ho's) dressing up just highlighted the disrespect she showed Carter. They are both complete asses.
Irish_Dem
(68,774 posts)Dressed in a totally inappropriate outfit, texting and looking at his phone during the funeral.
And then very obviously falling asleep with his mouth hanging open.

(8,758 posts)We saw his psychopathy right away and I see through it all. But the media keep on lying about it all for the most part. Disgusting. I am not fooled by anything these people do.
I forgot about that coat she wore to Carter's funeral.. crazy stuff, sort of like the "I don't care jacket"

The MAGAs lap it up.
The rest of us see right through it.

(4,335 posts)Part of it is, if you are not hurt or impacted, it is easy to not care or pay attention. As the pain spreads, the lies promised "Day One" go unfulfilled and the reality that actions being taken have far reaching and long lasting consequences that Trump and the henchmen have no vision of or solution for start hitting even the Red folks, GOP fortunes will change.

marked50
(1,491 posts)Is his faux concern over the military deaths on both sides of the Ukraine War. Not just because he really doesn't care about
those in the military and his bone spur debacle but he says nothing about civilian deaths or hardships. The reason is pretty obvious. This is primarily happening on the Ukrainian population and is a war crime. If he was to express concern about them then Putin would be very un-happy. He probably doesn't even think about them.
Irish_Dem
(68,774 posts)And did not mention the horrific number of Ukrainian women and children who
have been brutally murdered, raped, tortured, injured by Putin.
All war crimes.
