MSNBC Panel Obsesses Over Trump Sitting Quietly at Bush Funeral
Newsbusters ^ | December 5, 2018 | P.J. Gladnick

Well, folks, our friend David Rutz over at the Washington Free Beacon flagged down quite the case of Trump Derangment Syndrome on MSNBC's Deadline: White House.

It was a funeral for former President George H.W. Bush but all the show's panel could focus on Wednesday aftenroon was Trump, Trump, Trump. Any mention of the recently deceased was only in relation to President Donald Trump. So what did Trump do at the funeral that caused such obsession over him?

Actually, as they admit, nothing. He just quietly sat there but that was enough for host Nicole Wallace and her panelists Peter Baker, Michael Beschloss, and Eugene Robinson to analyze what they supposed was going on in Trump's mind:

I guess they expected Trump to give a few loud Bronx cheers and shoot some spitballs at the casket.

At least ONE of the 9 viewers wrote a report about what they saw... Could have been worse for MSNBC, there could have been 8 viewers.

Who cares? There is zero, zilch, nada Trump could do that would be viewed as positive anywhere, anytime.

Everything President Trump does, or does not do, the media criticizes him for. He does something, they criticizes him. He doesn't something, they criticizes him. The members of the media are the lowest of the low.

“Everything President Trump does, or does not do, the media criticizes him for. He does something, they criticizes him. He doesn’t something, they criticizes him. The members of the media are the lowest of the low.”

Nicely summarized. From their perspective, ‘heads, we win, tails, you lose’.

Between Carter Clinton and Obama and the Democratic Party has given us and radical Islamist Iran, a China who can now MIRV its nuclear weapons and a President who robbed our Treasury out of almost trillion dollars in “Shovel-Ready” jobs whose funds disappeared down a rabbit hole to God knows where. The Democrat Presidential rat pack consist of some of the most empty suit grifters on the planet. It’s plain to see that the Democrat party is a domestic enemy of the people of the United States.

Eugene Robinson: "He was probably thinking, "How can I re-enslave the blacks or put them all in prison for life?"

Nicole Wallace: "He was probably thinking, "How can I take away the right to abortion on demand and force all women out of the workforce so they follow my motto of "Kinder, Kuche, kirche?"

uhh…..because it’s basically showing respect for the deceased and his family?

Just a wild guess there.

He looked better than that zombie Hillary sitting there like a pithed frog.

President Trump should have emulated his predecessor, whipped out his cell phone and started taking selfies. Would the press approve of that?

ABC actually did report that “Trump gave the Bush family everything they requested about the ceremonies”.

I don’t know how many bedrooms the Blair House has, but many of the Bush family stayed there.

If Trump handed out candy like W did, he would be criticized that he thinks Moochelle has bad breath, Soetoro has dry mouth from drug abuse, Bill needs to get the Lewinski-cigar funk off his breath, and he was mocking Hillary’s coughing jags.

Aha! Trump put the Bush family in the Blair House hoping it would get shot up by Puerto Rican nationalists again!

“The comments at the link are hilarious”

Here are a couple:

And did you notice how Trump had the audacity to breathe? I even thought I saw him blink in an obviously racist way!

Hillary didn’t have anything to say either. She did however lift a leg indicating she may have had flatulence.

I have no doubt that if President Trump were seen walking on water, say up the middle of the Potomac River, he’d be doing that wrong.

“Did you see that? He stepped out with his left foot first, not his right!”

The first thing I noticed about the picture was Obama looking down his nose at the rest of the world, again.

Despite everything said about him (or by him) I believe President Trump has the capability of being humble. I think that his doing everything possible to accommodate the Bush family and to show honor and respect to the late President shows humility. I think that his willingness to allow pastors and other spiritual leaders to lay hands on him and pray for him indicates humility.

I don’t think that Obama has a humble molecule in his body. Not one single atom of humility, in fact.

The liberal left is in its death throws—desperate, delusional, clinging to a vain hope that Trump was an fluke—with him gone things will go back to the Obama/Clinton paradise that once was. Not going to happen. Things have changed forever now. Nationalism will win over internationalism— Taking out Trump by congress, courts or bullet will not end Trumpism — a sleeping giant is now awake and will not be lulled back to sleep. I fear that it will not end until violence racks the land. Let us pray I am wrong and wiser heads backs away from Civil War.
