Has anyone seen Trump say anything about the anniversary of Space Shuttle Columbia disaster today?

He tweeted something about it thr other day.

Apparently, Obama had to wait 68 days

Worst. Scaglia died about a year ago. Almost one year before Obama would be out. And the Republicans completely blocked a nomination of a new judge.

original I totally agree they shouldn't have the vote. An acquaintance of mine who lives in NYC fills her Facebook page with similar beliefs along with Christian Buble quotes and anti abortion propaganda. Previously I believed everybody should be allowed to vote but after seeing her publish some 'healthy fried food recipes', along with pro Trump America is great/deport immigrants posts - it seems she has forgotten she is not American herself and is living there due to marriage only. I truly despair.

Oh yes, Lewji. Yet they are complaining after less than 24 hours.

GingerIvy · 01/02/2017 18:42

Oh FFS. I'm appalled. It's like Trump looks through and says "which one will piss off the most people and do the worst job - I want them!"

Ok - Re Space shuttle. It's today. Maybe he got dates wrong. Too busy trying to figure out who to kick out of the country first. Hmm

HoHumming · 01/02/2017 18:44

Do any of you believe Trump is the one choosing them? I'd be surprised if he even knew who they were!

never thought that I would hear a president of the USA say the words 'go nuclear'. I realise this was not to be taken [seriously?]

I think people should start assuming that what Trump says is meant literally.
That was the common previous mistake.

There's no 'Hear no Evil' there, Lweji. Otherwise, it would look awfully like the wise monkeys. Wink
