Heartless

The Hill published a short article yesterday (link here) that zeroes in on a particular portion of a much longer Washington Post piece that revealed how Trump callously demanded to know why a drone was not fired directly at a target's house with his family inside instead of waiting until the target was outside and away from his next of kin, which was ultimately done.

The Post explained: "When the agency’s head of drone operations explained that the CIA had developed special munitions to limit civilian casualties, the President seemed unimpressed."

Wow. But then why are we surprised?

On the campaign trail, Trump vowed to go after both terrorists and their families, no matter if innocent young children were killed. "You have to take out their families."

That, of course, was something that Adolph Hitler's minions did. And deliberately targeting innocent civilians violates both international law and the Geneva Convention.

Trump stupidly does not realize this sort of heartless rhetoric is exactly what terrorist organizations like ISIS and Al-Qaeda use in recruitment materials to portray how the West is waging a crusade on Islam. With every innocent civilian who is killed, one or several new terrorists are created.

  2. No surprise here again.

    When «45» is speaking, he rarely speaks with his heart (does he have one???) or with compassion.

    The latest is him qualifying the latino caravan going through Mexico as rapists and drug dealers without any knowledge that those poor people are flying death and bad treatment in their own country.
    Those are willing to integrate and contribute to USA's social and economic society. Those are families with kids and women with good intentions.

    This so «Christian» president is showing the world how heartless he is and making USA looking like a non-welcoming to poor people seeking for a better life.

    In this, «45» also show that he is a racist. No surprise here again. Even in his own country, he is making blacks, latinos and LGBT people second zone citizens.
    What was he doing on the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King death?
    GUESS WHAT !

    NEVER a president had shown such heartless lack of empathy to his own population and to others in the world.

    GOD Bless America!
    LOL! The only God Trumpty Dumpty is worshiping is money and HIM!
