I told you he was an asshole
or
Trump the "fucking asshole"

If you have been watching the news the last few weeks you really have seen a total asshole.
A felon, a convict, a sexual predator, yes, but most of all a complete fucking asshole of a human being.
You stupid fucks who support Trump are asinine, uneducated, racist pricks.
I see one asshole posting here who stated flat out he knew what Trump was in the 90's.
Another asshole here who thinks people who don't like sexual predators have hangups.
If you support Trump you are a fucking asshole.
Trump is a fucking asshole.

Amber Thurman - RIP
Trump is a twisted asshole who belongs in prison, his purchased slovenian slut is a whore.
These people are fucking abominable, not even human, just a couple of sick animals.

An abortion ban killed her. Trump used Fox town hall to mock her grieving family.

The death of Amber Thurman, a 28-year-old mother, has been linked directly to Georgia’s draconian
abortion ban, a ban that exists because Donald Trump proudly oversaw the end of Roe. v. Wade during his
presidency.
At a Fox News town hall focused on women’s issues – taped Tuesday in Atlanta and broadcast Wednesday
– Trump, the network host and the town hall attendees treated Thurman’s death and her family’s grief like a
laugh line.
Noting that Thurman’s family held a press call hosted by Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris’
campaign before the Fox News event, host Harris Faulkner, with snark in her voice, said to Trump: “Amber
Thurman’s family have come out on a press call, and they’re doing what’s called a prebuttal to our town hall
right now.”
“Oh, that’s nice,” Trump said, dismissively, as the crowd chuckled.
Then he said: “We’ll get better ratings, I promise.” And Faulkner and the crowd erupted in laughter.
Trump delivers one of the most vile moments of his campaignI’ve seen plenty of vile things happen during
political campaigns, but this was several steps beyond twisted.
Who weighs the words of a grieving family or the weight of their grief on a ratings scale? Who laughs at a
family speaking out about the death of their loved one?
It’s part and parcel of the darkness and cruelty Trump’s campaign has leaned into in these final weeks of
the presidential race.
Amber Thurman's tragic death was deemed 'preventable'.
During Tuesday’s press call, Thurman’s mother,Shanette Williams, said: “Amber was not a statistic. She
was loved by a family.”
Thurman died in 2022. Georgia’s abortion ban had forced her to travel to North Carolina for reproductive
health services because she was just past Georgia’s six-week ban on abortions.
Thurman was given abortion pills, but developed a rare complication after she had returned to Georgia.
According to a ProPublica report: “She showed up at Piedmont Henry Hospital in need of a routine
procedure to clear (fetal tissue) from her uterus, called a dilation and curettage, or D&C. But just that
summer, her state had made performing the procedure a felony, with few exceptions. Any doctor who
violated the new Georgia law could be prosecuted and face up to a decade in prison. Thurman waited in
pain in a hospital bed ... as doctors monitored her infection spreading, her blood pressure sinking and her
organs beginning to fail. It took 20 hours for doctors to finally operate. By then, it was too late.”
ProPublica reported that Georgia’s maternal mortality review committee found Thurman’s death was
“preventable” and said the hospital’s delay – due to the state’s abortion law – "had a large impact on her
fatal outcome.”
Donald Trump easily laughs at a tragedy – remember that.
There’s nothing funny about any of that. It’s a tragedy. But Trump, Faulkner and many in the all-female
crowd at the town hall got a good chuckle out of Trump’s dismissive attitude and his “we’ll get better
ratings” joke.
I hope voters are paying attention to these random acts of casual cruelty coming from Trump and the

people around him. They’re the kind of things that rob us of our humanity.
They’re the kind of things voters should reject, thunderously.
