None of the eight patients still being treated at University Medical Center in El Paso agreed to meet with Trump when he visited the hospital, UMC spokesman Ryan Mielke said. Two victims who already had been discharged returned to the hospital to meet with the president.
This is a very sensitive time in their lives, Mielke said. Some of them said they didnt want to meet with the president. Some of them didnt want any visitors.
Before Trumps visit Wednesday, however, some of the hospitalized victims accepted visits from a number of city and county elected officials, as well as Reps. Veronica Escobar (D-Tex.) and Jesús Chuy García (D-Ill.).

You'd be shot, and also violently nauseated, as well.

He and his ass kissing advisers simply say or tweet what they want people to believe, kick back, plan their next racist rally and repeat.
