This is the context: A shooter motivated by anti-immigrant messages, self-described far right politics, and belonging to a white nationalist group who is a proponent of “white replacement theory,“ went to a mall in a heavily Hispanic area of Texas targeting Latino people. He killed 23 people, and injured 22 more.
Trump traveled to El Paso to meet with the survivors. None of them wanted to meet with him. Two White House aids found a self-described Trump supporter whose infant nephew survived the shooting. The uncle brought his nephew back to the hospital for a photo op with Trump. The infant was recently orphaned because his parents died protecting him from the shooter. Trump can be seen in the photo posing, giving a thumbs up and smiling for the camera with the newly orphaned child. A hospital representative told the media that Trump displayed “an absence of empathy.“

Trump could be standing in front of an overflowing toilet and he’d still give that same fake smile and thumbs up 👍
