says everything, both about the journalist and him.
Journalist: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
Trump: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years."

He hates the attention being given to Kirk now and must
drag it back to his nonsense.

(8,489 posts)Kirk's death was an opportunity to turn the stove up even higher. Which got deflated once Trump found out which side the killer was on.

(74,298 posts)But yes of course Trump saw it as a political and business opportunity.

(127,044 posts)Most sociopaths would at least know how to feign a fairly convincing expression of concern; Trump is too far gone even to know how to do that.
Solly Mack
(95,642 posts)More likely he'd have a "Now watch this drive" moment of his own.
