Dang it, you beat me to posting this gem.
I’m near 60 years old and I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone use that phrase at an event to the co-workers and family of a loved one. Just imagine if Trump would have said that, the media would have played it non-stop on every news channel for days.
The guy is barely literate or sentient.
As someone else said “thank you never trumpers, thank you!”.
“I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone use that phrase at an event to the co-workers and family of a loved one.”
Me, either. Although I’m a bit tired of, “passed”, “passed on”, etc. Just say, “died”.
His “dropped dead” statement is totally out of line in this situation, though. What a frickin’ doofus.
