In reply to the discussion: I don't believe for a moment Trump was moved by the poisoned children. [View all]PatSeg
(48,486 posts)4. I hate to be cynical,
but with Trump it is inevitable. I found Trump's compassion to be phony and at times even creepy. He is an inherent opportunist and this looked like yet another opportunity to divert attention and glorify himself. As an added bonus, he got to play with things that go "boom". A win-win for Donald.
