Nailed the cognitive dissonance of another Trump press conference. Doug you called the airport by its rightful name, National. I do not think Bush nor Obama ever minimized the lives lost during those horrific events that happened during their administrations. Trump's remarks certainly demonstrated that he is not "a unifier and peacemaker." He made a tragedy an opportunity to rant craziness not common sense.

Trump’s and MAGA’s “common sense” is a combination of bigotry, misogyny, and grievance. We’re a very sick country.

I watched Trump speak in this press conference. You captured what I had been thinking. It was sad to see a blame game going on during this tragedy.

Well said, Doug. We are repeating the Madness of King George combined with 1930s Germany. It's a pretty sh*tty combination.
