Donald Trump was at a town hall, which was full of odd moments when he told a joke about him getting shot to a couple whose son had died at war in Afghanistan.
After the former president was twice stopped by medical issues in the room, the conversation with South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem in Oaks, Pennsylvania, morphed into an unplanned performance.
At one point, Noem introduced Mary and Charles Strange, a Gold Star family whose son Michael was killed while serving in Afghanistan in 2011.
Trump and Noem encouraged the Strange family to come up on stage, but Trump then cracked a joke about getting up to meet them.
‘It’s a little harder to get up since I got shot. It made it more difficult. Perhaps that’s the way it’s supposed to be,’ he said.
Noem forced a chuckle before reintroducing the Strange family: ‘They lost their son, Michael. Come on up here.’
Both Trump and the family moved past it, with Charles Strange asking the president to launch a Congressional investigation into his son’s death.
‘My son was killed August 6, 2011, with 29 other men. It was the biggest loss of life in the Iraq and Afghan war,’ Strange said.
’22 of them men were Navy Special Warfare. Til this day, we still haven’t gotten any answers. I was wondering, I’m begging you, we would like a congressional hearing.’
Trump replied, ‘So here’s what we’re going to do.
‘In the first week—not the first day because I made a lot of promises in the first day, we’re gonna drill baby drill, we’re gonna close up the border, we’re gonna do a lot in the first day. In the first week, we will set up a commission.’
Upon his election, he invited Charles and Mary Strange to visit him, completing his plan.
‘We’re gonna find out because so many people are in your same position. They want to know what happened, why did it happened to their son or daughter, and we’re gonna do that in the first week. So you get ready to come over to the White House, okay?’
The event on Monday evening was billed as a ‘town hall’ and a chance for Trump to answer questions on the economy from voters who could decide the outcome of the whole election.
Naturally, Donald Trump always makes it about himself! Because he’s an egotistical buffoon and should not be cracking jokes because he is the joke, but Trump will decline quickly because he has zero morals and integrity.
Vote for a rational president, America, please, not a relic from the past!
Donald Trump is all words and no action; therefore, if he wins the presidency again, it will be no assistance to the American people. As president, his primary responsibility will be to serve himself and the other billionaires.
Donald Trump talks faster than he thinks, but then empty vessels make the most noise, and idolising a politician is like believing a stripper will love you.
