More on that
The president, who spent the day defying the other two branches of government, thinks it's hilarious that a member of the crowd suggested murdering families fleeing violence. The hate-fueled mob of "fine people" surrounding him explode into uproarious laughter and falsetto hoots. https://t.co/UkHZKQnnSP

When people tell us who they are, we should believe them. Trump made it crystal clear last night, if anyone still had lingering doubts. https://t.co/whZjzFYxuK

The Post title isn’t right though – he doesn’t laugh it off, he laughs it in.
Trump couldn’t help but laugh when a supporter in Panama City Beach, Florida, suggested shooting asylum-seeking migrants. It’s no joke https://t.co/vRllAvF2Di pic.twitter.com/Do0DxUlNnb

Yes he does. I wish I’d said something like that in my comment on the previous post. He pauses to let the laughter happen, he invites the laughter. He makes it perfectly clear that the laughter – at the shooting of brown people – is not only acceptable, it’s desirable.
He laughs it in.
Holy fuck, over the last few days I have been rubbing my face in perplexity so often that I’m not sure I even have a skull left, let alone any skin.
This one has just left me gasping. It’s too horrific.
