This Photo of Trump Refusing to Shake the Hand of a Member of the Military Has EVERYONE Talking

Donald Trump is going to see a rocket launch in Florida on Saturday, which was rescheduled after the Wednesday launch was cancelled due to weather.

Trump sounds like a little boy who couldn’t possibly miss this. He was promised, and he said during “Chopper-Talk” before he left that he feels an “obligation” to be there. If Trump had Barron beside him to go watch, maybe he could justify – somehow – needing to see his rocket launch. But right now, a president’s real obligation is to calm the nation and save lives. Tump’s agenda seems to be the opposite.

Perhaps it is best that he’s not “watching over” the situation with the nation bursting apart at the seams. He has done nothing but inflame the situation this morning. So while the nation burns and prepares for what could be the worst night yet, with Trump urging cops to “get tougher” and stop people from protesting, while an epidemic rages that is sure to light-up hospitals three weeks from now, Trump is going to a rocket launch.

He has never looked smaller.

Trump hasn’t forgotten that we have an epidemic, though. He seems well aware of the fact that “germs” are still on the loose.

This photo, from the indefatigable Doug Mills of the New York Times has everyone talking, take a look:

And this just says it all:

Peace, y’all
