On Day Of Mass Shooting, Trump Jokes He Nearly Canceled Speech Due To 'Bad Hair Day'

Trump made the comment at the Future Farmers of America Convention in Indianapolis.


On the day of a horrific shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue that claimed the lives of at least 11 people, some people wondered if President Donald Trump would go ahead with planned events for the day, including speaking at the Future Farmers of America Convention in Indianapolis and a rally in Illinois.

Trump decided to go ahead with both events, but he did joke at the FFA Convention that he almost canceled for another reason ― a bad hair day.

He recalled for the crowd that earlier in the day, he had been holding a news conference about the mass shooting ― which he referred to as a “very unfortunate news conference” ― when he became drenched from the wind and rain. The elements apparently left his hair looking not exactly the way he likes it.

“I said, ‘Maybe I should cancel this arrangement because I have a bad hair day,’” he told the crowd. “And the bad news ― somebody said, ‘Actually it looks better than it usually does.’”

Though he drew laughter from the crowd, many people found the joke to be in poor taste, given the circumstances..............

Obama for becoming first black president and
Trump for changing what used to be "presidential" behavior.

He's infected the GOP and a sizeable chunk of the country with whatever lurgy he's got. He's basically a sort of rabies, near as I can tell.

and many of his other inflammatory comments.

He has to be the center of attention, the crown jewel of every news cycle.

For the last two days, other madmen have been stealing his spotlight. The first one tried to assassinate several prominent Democrats. The other one massacred innocent people in a place of worship.

My response would be, "Oh really? He said that? I have been paying more attention to the wreckage his Presidency is causing than his contradictory and lying words. I really don't care. Do you?"

As fast as they can after this. More in Congress will be thinking about not being in his white nationalist party now too. Their is no republican party now, and many will run from trump too soon. They will reject him soon too.

It's so ingrained he doesn't even realize it's offensive to anyone. He thinks he's being cute. "Shecky" Trump entertaining the people. I never thought I could despise anyone this much.

Hours after the shooting he tweeted:


Donald J. Trump

@realDonaldTrump
Watching the Dodgers/Red Sox final innings. It is amazing how a manager takes out a pitcher who is loose & dominating through almost 7 innings, Rich Hill of Dodgers, and brings in nervous reliever(s) who get shellacked. 4 run lead gone. Managers do it all the time, big mistake!

After all, why should the leader of a country let a frightening tragedy interfere with his amusements? King-ship has its privileges.
