Trump: Paralympics Was 'Tough to Watch'

[DonViejo]

During a ceremony honoring U.S. Olympic and Paralympic competitors from the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, President Donald Trump expressed his own apparent personal discomfort with watching the athletes with disabilities compete. “What happened with the Paralympics was so incredible and so inspiring to me,” Trump said. “And I watched — it's a little tough to watch too much, but I watched as much as I could.” Several high-profile members of Team USA skipped the event citing political differences with the president. Among them was U.S. figure skater Adam Rippon, who tweeted, “I will not stand with people who discriminate against those that they perceive as different.”

5. Because of this alone, I will never forgive anybody who voted for Trump.

That should have been the end of his campaign, full stop.

8. I never watch any Olympic games for too long.

And I even didn't know the Paralympics were televised, to be honest.

12. I agree; I wouldn't read too much into this

Don’t get me wrong, as they saying goes, Jesus may love tRump but I think he’s garbage wrapped in skin, however, as clumsy and poorly as he expressed it (what else is new?), he may have been TRYING to say “with my busy (???lol) schedule it was tough to find time to watch a lot of the event”.

I do miss seeing and listening to an articulate and classy US President.

9. No, Fat Ass. You know what is tough to watch? YOU.

You. Lying and bullshitting the American people every single fucking day with your fat, orange face and your anus lips and your piss colored cotton candy hair. Nothing is harder than having to see you every day and be reminded that you are the Fake President who is destroying this country and making it worse every day that you are in office. The only time it will be a pleasure to watch you will be at your funeral.

11. Watching the Paralympics

usually leaves me with tears of joy and feelings of warmth, but then again, I'm human.
