Trump at Event for Families of Dead Americans: ‘I Suffer for the Country’

We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Donald Trump has once again taken an event honoring the families of dead Americans and made it about himself. During a Monday morning address at an event honoring “Angel Families” — a right-wing term for the families of Americans killed by undocumented migrants — the president complained that he “suffers” for the country, after going on an extended rant about his fantasy that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

“A Democrat [voter] will get three, four, five, six, and even seven ballots and then we’re supposed to win. That’s what they’re good at — they’re professional cheaters,” Trump complained to guests gathered at the White House. “I’m just thinking as we’re going through it, because we’ve suffered through it together. I suffer for the country.”

It’s not the first time Trump has failed to show basic empathy by making the death of others about himself. During a 2018 event for “Angel Families,” Trump signed pictures of the deceased. In 2024, Trump blamed Gold Star families for the outcry surrounding allegations that he conducted campaign activities at Arlington Cemetery, in violation of the burial ground’s policies. Just this month, the president used the death of the Reverend Jesse Jackson as a springboard to congratulate himself on the inroads he’s made with Black voters, and to attack Barack Obama and other Democrats.

The event on Monday was dominated by long, rambling tangents from Trump about his electoral complaints.


 
At least he didn't say he had a SAT score below 960 and that makes him one of them...
trump had a disgracefully low SAT score that kept him from being accepted to his preferred colleges, even though he had a huge amount of money behind him. his family finally backdoored him into UPenn, but he was unable to get the grades or scores to get into any law school.
