My Gawd Brian Williams Stop Showing Us How Human Joe Biden Is It Makes Me Hate Trump Even More

At the end of his show Brian showed a video from a funeral of a security officer in Florida who died trying to disarm the shooter at MSD High School. The son of the victim ran up to Joe and started hugging him. Joe kissed him on the head and asked if he was ok. The child shook his head no, no, no. Joe just held him and told him it was gonna be ok. I couldn't imagine Trump doing that in a million years.

My gawd. When I see the contrast between a real caring human being like Joe Biden, and unfeeling animal Donald Trump it makes me even more angry anyone would vote for Trump for any evil sickening reason.

Stop it media.

You don't see trump hugging his own kids, let alone trying to comfort someone else's. I mourn for what we have lost as a nation. A president that can comfort us in our time of sorrow. Just think, trump should have been the comforter in chief in that moment. This happened in 2018. Here is VP Biden. But no trump.

I had my Dad for 56 years. My heart breaks for that little boy.

Joe Biden is the real deal.

Just instinctive compassion.

He wasn't my first choice in the primaries but LORD do I feel good about voting for him.

Special needs kids. The abstraction of death and people expecting you to "adapt" and "move forward" are more difficult.

Joe isn't afraid to show love.

We are so in need of Joe's brand of compassion and humanity.

Have to give tRump his due, however. Remember this? OUR HERO! He would have gone in to that school unarmed!

On second thought, WARNING: Only watch this video if you can handle an instant comedown from Joe's warmth and caring. You won't find any of that here.

any amount of money, if it comes with such compassion and empathy. There are limitless numbers of truly talented people to staff a cabinet and government, if they are chosen by the correct person.

Joe doesn't have to be everything. That is the idea behind a functioning government - it is not a monarchy, a dictatorship, or any kind of "one man/woman show." Like Hillary Clinton wrote, "It Takes a Village," and it takes us all working together for this democratic republic to function.

But that is the man I want leading this country right now. It's in stark contrast to the monster who is haunting the white house right now.

And was a neighbor of a colleague. No LEOs were killed that day, only students and teachers.
