Donald Trump bullied a man as overweight, then didn't apologize

Trump insults one of his OWN SUPPORTER, to the cheers of his ignorant base. Yet the dumb supporter of his who was at the end of Trump's disgusting insults, is still supporting this idiot of a POTUS. When are the Trumptards going to wake up and start thinking for once!!

At a 2020 campaign rally in New Hampshire on Thursday night, a protest broke out. A Trump supporter sought to remove the protesters. And as that was happening, the President of the United States yelled this into the microphone:
"That guy's got a serious weight problem. Go home. Start exercising. Get him out of here please. Got a bigger problem than I do. Got a bigger problem than all of us. Now he goes home and his mom says, 'What the hell have you just done?'"
For anyone familiar with Trump's rhetoric, it's clear he misunderstood the situation. He regularly taunts protesters at his rallies by telling them to run home to their moms. Trump clearly thought the man escorting the protesters out was a protester himself, not a Trump supporter.
Briefed on his mistake after the rally, Trump called the man and left a message thanking him for his support, according to CNN White House reporter Kaitlan Collins. But, as Kaitlan noted via Twitter:
"Trump did not apologize, a White House official tells me. He phoned the supporter, left him a message thanking him for his support, but did not use the words 'sorry' or 'apologize.'"
No, of course he didn't.
Here are the things I find remarkable about all this:
1) We have a President who thinks fat-shaming someone in front of thousands of people is a totally acceptable thing to do
2) The crowd laughed and applauded when Trump made the comment about the man's weight
3) Trump only decided to reach out to the man when informed he was a supporter
4) The White House went out of its way to make clear that Trump did not apologize to the man
Boy oh boy. What a commentary on this moment in time in American politics and culture.
Trump mainstreamed bullying as a political tactic during the 2016 primary campaign, so no one should be surprised that, as President, he talks like this. But it does serve as yet another reminder that the biggest difference between Trump and those who have held the office before him is that he absolutely rejects the idea of the presidency as a beacon of moral leadership.
His reaction to the white nationalist march in Charlottesville, Virginia, proved that. His mocking of a disabled reporter on the campaign trail in 2016 proved it. His comments about immigrants from "shithole countries" proved it. His insistence that Mexico was sending rapists and criminals to the United States proved it. His decision to call Baltimore "rat-infested" proved it. And on and on it goes.

What Trump has done is not only ignore the idea that a president of the United States should take the high road, but also made a mockery of the very idea. He champions his low-roaded mindset every chance he gets, wearing it as a badge of honor to his supporters.
To Trump, and those who laugh and jeer right along with him, his willingness to break with standards of accepted behavior speaks to how radical a change he is to a staid and broken political system and culture. What it really is though is just rude. And bullying. Putting someone else down to make yourself feel better isn't presidential. It isn't polite. And it shouldn't be acceptable -- regardless of your partisan views.

No argument from me here comrade Theodore.

But the big question is can the woke party that regularly eats its own get their act together and present a viable candidate that the American public can get behind.

That supporter is a cuck fan of him. He still loves Trump after his 9 year old schoolyard insult.

Trump called him direct, he left a message. I think that is pretty classy. As usual, everyone on the left jumps aboard the left train. What President would call a nobody directly. Only the most transparent President in history.

Hungry. As much as I give it the leftists on here for their being them,lol.

Trump did as he would say a very bad thing here. He needs to eliminate these shenanigans he routinely pulls going forward. It's just a bad look for a sitting president. embarrassing really.

Now I'm think the phone call was more damage control then anything else.

The problem is the man had no filter. And at his age I'm pretty sure he's not going to change.

if Trump says jump, the right wingers will say how high. Then when he says in that ravine and I can assure you that you will be safe, the right wingers will all beg to go first.

That is how dumb they are and they display it at the Trump rallies with their sickening chants. The blind leads the blind!!

And now he has a voicemail from his President and he's as happy as he can be. I'm pretty sure that he is aware that he's a lard ass.

He couldn't do it before he made the mistake ............
He could have kept his mouth shut in the first place, which most decent people would do. But then, whoever accused trump of being a decent person?
