Any and every little thing that Donald Trump has or will ever do is for the sole purpose of gaining attention for nothing other than himself and himself alone.
Trump is currently patting himself on the back as we speak, and expects every single American citizen to do the same, because he traveled his ass to Dayton, Ohio today, four days after they suffered from yet another mass shooting in our country, to visit with the victims of the attack who were still recovering in the hospital.
He, of course, wants us all to believe that he’s done this purely out of the goodness of his heart — despite the fact that the majority of the mass shootings that have ripped through our country since he took office have been a direct result of his hateful rhetoric and behavior.
In fact, Trump and his team of snot-nosed minions even went so far as to refuse access to the Travel Pool during the hospital visit as it was supposed to be “about victims… not a photo op.”
But if you think, even for a hot second, that reality star wash-up, Donald Trump is going to turn down a chance at a photo-op that will, at least in his own mind, make him look like king shit — well, I’ve got a real nice piece of oceanfront property in Tuscon, Arizona that you’d just love.
Travel pool was told Trump’s hospital visit was closed to pool because this is “about victims…not a photo op.” But it took the WH just a couple hours to release its own video highlights and photos. https://t.co/rPHYrsrJeP

In fact, it was just mere hours before Donald Trump’s “Director of Social Media” Dan Scavino took to his Twitter account with photographs of Trump’s fun-filled visit to a hospital full of mass shooting victims, where he was supposedly treated just like a “rockstar.”
Scavino had attempted to simply release a statement on his social media account, but ultimately used the photographs as “proof” of the love Donald received after his original tweets were met with loads of skepticism.
Very SAD to see Ohio Senator Brown, & Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley – LYING & completely mischaracterizing what took place w/ the President’s visit to Miami Valley Hospital today. They are disgraceful politicians, doing nothing but politicizing a mass shooting, at every turn they can..

..The President was treated like a Rock Star inside the hospital, which was all caught on video. They all loved seeing their great President!

President @realDonaldTrump with the incredible medical staff at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio today. Some extremely powerful moments throughout the entire visit, with so much enthusiasm and love, contrary to what the Trump Hating Dems would ever share or say. pic.twitter.com/Wpvf2zPDRd

Twitter users were just as disgusted as you are right now:
Jesus. Yeah, let’s pose for fucking selfies while we smile and ‘mourn the dead’.

Nice to see so many people laughing when there are people who just died. It shows such empathy and compassion. But out of the entire hospital, this is the size of the group you gathered? How much did you pay them? The Craigslist rate of $15?

That is the most disgusting thing I’ve seen in a long time. Campaigning at the hospital where these victims are recovering. Your picture should be on the page in the dictionary that says, “shameless self-promoter.”

In case anyone was wondering if he would make this horrible tragedy all about himself…

This is disgusting. On all counts. Shame on everyone involved in this – from those taking selfies. To the narcissist in the WH and to you Dan for not having the dignity and commmon sense to see how disrespectful these photos are to those who were murdered. Totally horrifying.

It’s worth noting that, again, no press was allowed into the areas that Trump visited in the hospital today. So, what truly happened, we will never really know. But can I just say — shame on him. Shame on him for using such a gut-wrenching tragedy to strengthen his “fame.” And shame on every last individual that was involved in this shit show. Shame on them all.
