There is no bottom. Trump just now to a bunch of kids:

"Barack Hussein Obama. Have you heard of him?" as the kids are gathered around his desk to talk about physical fitness. The kids are of all races.

I am shocked and appalled. I know I shouldn't be. But I am.

Is CNN leading with this particular comment? I'm not necessarily against that as long as they make clear how out if bounds it is and don't sanewash it. Not holding my breath.

Krasnov is a f***ing disgrace... He should not be allowed near children. He is hazardous to their health,
both mental + physical.

Except he'd probably yell at the kid saying something akin to "Quiet Piggy" or worse, if it was a little brown kid he'd snap and use the "n" word. You know he just wants to.

No doubt the reason Trump brought him up was to disparage him in some way, even when the only reason for bringing him up in a talk to kids about physical fitness would have been to use him as a role model.

Do you think Trump ever talked to his own kids like a dad, rather than as someone with perpetual grievances against others that he wanted them to copy?

As if he’s a RW radio host he calls him by his whole name as if anyone is turned off by it. But I guess it keeps the rubes in line and that’s all he really cares about outside of his own personal brand and wealth.

Who would take their kid to the Oval Office to hear [REDACTED] say anything if they weren't already deep into the MAGA sewer?

It's also funny that he's talking about physical fitness but he is too lazy to get off his fat ass and meet them in a playground or something.
