DISGUSTING: Watch Trump Read the Names of Uvalde Victims, Cannot Pronounce Them, Cannot Fake Caring

There is very little that people want to see less right now than the NRA trying to look as if it cares about the massacred babies whose bodies are just a few hundred miles away down in the valley of Texas. And yet these pompous vampires have the temerity to put on a show for us, by having Trump read the names of the victims and have some absolutely bizarre-sounding bell ring as Trump reads the name. It makes one think about a gunshot for each kid.

In the video below we only hear the bell sound three times, and we only hear two to three names but it is enough to discern two things. One, Trump is THE perfect man to be reading these names off for the NRA because Trump is the one guy in the country able to read the name of each baby killed in Uvalde without looking or sounding like he cares. We have watched anchor after anchor on several networks unable to even speak through their tears, and Trump doesn’t look the slightest bit bothered, nor is there an ounce of feeling in his voice. Perfect “feel” for the NRA.

And the other thing we can discern is that the Republicans are not going to allow this massacre to get in the way of gun sales, either. They are going headfirst into a wall over this with their grotesquely inappropriate usurpation of the dead children. How dare the gun manufacturers, which is all the NRA functions to serve, use these kids’ names as a “show” that they care?

As the Lincoln Projected tweeted out; “Disgusting theatre by a disgusting man.” Speaking of tweeting out, the rage was palpable.
