Grandpa Pudding Brains tells grieving parents they can ride on his cool plane
Somewhere inside every tragedy, Trump finds a testimonial.
The Orange Menace offered a fallen service member’s grieving family a ride on his special Air Force One, and proudly reported their response: “They said wow.” What Trump remembers about a family in mourning is that they like his plane.
There is no human tragedy so large that Trump cannot crawl inside it and find a flattering anecdote about himself. Their son was dead, but the presidential aircraft tests well.
Their son was gone. Fortunately, the plane was very impressive.
I can think of another reason a grieving family member would say "wow" to an offer like that. Because they decided to be really polite.
Another data point.
