Good stuff. Thinking about MAGA's POV and our own. I wonder for example, why would they think any past President would be cordial to Trump? Everyone's assembled to pay tribute to Jimmy Carter as a man and as a President. They all know the cruel things Trump has said bout Carter in the past even as recently as his 100th birthday. Trump referred to him as the worst President ever. So why should they give Trump any respect today? Which brings me to the really irritating thing. Obviously Trump and his hanger-on had to be seated somewhere. But who decided to put this racist pig next to Obama? I'm so tired of the "it's OK" approach. It's NOT OK to sit those men beside each other. It's like siting two of the "opposites" together when apartheid was still in vogue. But the worst part of it is that Obama (one who knows all about Trump's use of optics) even gave him the time of day less engaged in a smiling response to something he said. I mean, what could have possibly come out of that man's mouth that would be the l,east bit humorous at such a solemn occasion? Obama should have known better. He went right down the "it's OK" path.
