Trump jokes about the stage collapsing on 9/11 first responders

Trump said, “Now I’m going to sign this bill into law. And I don’t know if the stage will hold it, but if it doesn’t, we’re not falling very far. But I’d like to ask the families, and I’d also like to ask the first responders to come up, and we’ll give — we’ll give this stage a shot. Let’s see how well built. Made in America. Let’s see how well built it is. Okay? Come on up.”

Nothing says caring and compassion for the victims of 9/11 and those first responders who are struggling to survive like joking about the stage collapsing to people who in some cases watched the Twin Towers fall in the worst terrorist attack on domestic soil in US history.

Trump’s behavior is an example of this president’s uncanny ability to take simple political good moments and find a way to turn them into another reason for the American people to hate him.

Forget about being a president, Donald Trump can’t even be taught to act like a human being for more than a few minutes.
