There's has never been a more souless, vile person in American history. [View all]

President Donald Trump was asked at a press conference on Thursday whether he intends to go to the funeral of the murdered National Guardswoman, Sarah Beckstrom — and Trump detoured from the question into bragging about how popular he is in Beckstrom's home state of West Virginia.

"It's in the early stages, obviously, but do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?" asked a reporter.

"I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I could conceive of," said Trump. "I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere. And it's, you know, these are great people. I love the people of West Virginia. I love the people of our country."

"But I haven't given it any thought, but it sounds like something I could do, yeah," Trump added.
