@ScottJenningsKY It’s not just a “mean tweet.”
That’s MAGA’s term designed to soften what those tweets reveal. A person vile enough to respond this way when a couple has just had their throats slit by their own son is a sociopath. And he has access to the nuclear button.

@catturd2 Fake outrage? Most Americans have been outraged by Trump for 10 years. The POTUS should represent the best, not the worst of us. Someone who responds this way about a couple who just had their throats slit by their own son is a sociopath. It’s sick that you love him.

@BretWeinstein @megynkelly The rare rebukes from the right say that Trump’s post was inappropriate. What I can never understand is how they fail to realize how colossally dumb he sounds. Obviously, he has a repulsive personality and depraved morality. But how do they not realize that he’s clearly stupid?

The worst thing about the new AI-generated RFT is that the old RFT isn’t around to mercilessly make fun of it
