During a week when the world’s attention (“This one has caught the imagination of the world, unfortunately.”) is focused on the apparent murder, beheading, and dismemberment of a journalist by Saudi Arabia, the President of the United States (who has been bending over backwards to excuse the Saudis), is revving up a crowd of his supporters with a gleeful account of Congressman Greg Gianforte who (as a candidate) assaulted a reporter for asking questions.
Amazing, after calling Dems the party of mobs and violence, Trump is now praising and complimenting Greg Gianforte for "body slamming" @Bencjacobs

We need to stop with the “amazing” and “astonishing.” It is worse. It is “typical” and “commonplace” for this narcissistic sociopath.
