Step back for a bit and realize that we live in a world where the President of the United States can promote crazy conspiracy theories about a public figure and it’s barely news.
No joke. I’m baffled by how low (high?) the bar has been set before something gets more attention. You could take Trump’s 50 craziest moments and his 51st would’ve otherwise been the “story of the year!” for any previous president.

Thankfully there's nothing of importance going on in the country that could distract The Greatest Living American from this vital personal intercourse.
And when I say intercourse....

Letter from the widower asking Trump’s lies concerning his wife’s death be deleted from Twitter:
”Nearly 19 years ago, my wife, who had an undiagnosed heart condition, fell and hit her head on her desk at work. She was found dead the next morning. Her name is Lori Kaye Klausutis and she was 28 years old when she died. Her passing is the single most painful thing that I have ever had to deal with in my 52 years and continues to haunt her parents and sister.
I have mourned my wife every day since her passing. I have tried to honor her memory and our marriage. As her husband, I feel that one of my marital obligations is to protect her memory as I would have protected her in life. There has been a constant barrage of falsehoods, half-truths, innuendo and conspiracy theories since the day she died. I realize that may sound like an exaggeration, unfortunately it is the verifiable truth. Because of this, I have struggled to move forward with my life.
The frequency, intensity, ugliness, and promulgation of these horrifying lies ever increases on the internet. These conspiracy theorists, including most recently the President of the United States, continue to spread their bile and misinformation on your platform disparaging the memory of my wife and our marriage. President Trump on Tuesday tweeted to his nearly 80 million followers alluding to the repeatedly debunked falsehood that my wife was murdered by her boss, former U.S. Rep. Joe Scarborough. The son of the president followed and more directly attacked my wife by tweeting to his followers as the means of spreading this vicious lie.
...
I'm asking you [Twitter] to intervene in this instance because the President of the United States has taken something that does not belong him — the memory of my dead wife and perverted it for perceived political gain . I would also ask that you consider Lori's niece and two nephews who will eventually come across this filth in the future. They have never met their Aunt and it pains me to think they would ever have to about her this way.
My wife deserves better.

Clearly, Trump thinks his childish spat is more important than the feelings of somebody who lost their wife.
What an asshole.

Remember guys, it's just your TDS talking.

One of them is a hack columnist and former Republican Congressman, one of them is the President of the United States of America and former hack reality TV star.
I'm beginning to see a pattern!

This is so true. It is one thing for a "nobody" to make comments, but it really makes me sad when the President of the most powerful country on Earth is make these types of comments.
I know we have had these conversations before, but even though I agree with some of President Trumps policies and what he has done, I dont believe he is a good representative of all the makes USA good.
