Trump kicks crying baby out of Virginia event
They say if you want to make it in politics, you’ve got to kiss a lot of babies – but, as with most rules and conventions, Donald Trump apparently thinks this advice doesn’t apply to him. “So as I’m thinking about pre-K, sometimes you wonder who the baby is, right?”
According to Sopan Deb, a CBS News reporter covering the Trump campaign, Trump was speaking to a crowd in Auburn, Virginia when he stopped to acknowledge a crying baby in the crowd. What a attractive baby. Don’t worry, Don’t worry. What a handsome baby.’ Trump continued, ‘Don’t worry about it, you know?
At first, the GOP presidential nominee told the parent not to worry about the baby. I like it. I love babies!
“People don’t understand, but that’s okay”, he added. Embarrassing her publicly because her baby was doing what all babies do naturally – cry.
Those protesting said Trump is not the right fit to move the country forward. Should Donald Trump have publicly humiliated the baby’s mother after assuring her not to worry?
Mr Trump had been discussing his views on China when the baby started crying.
Trump was speaking at a rally in Ashburn, Virginia, on Tuesday when he interrupted a rant about Chinese banks to acknowledge a crying baby in the audience.
Since then, Trump has complained he was “viciously” attacked by the Khans and suggested Ghazala Khan might not have been “allowed” to speak, implying her silence reflected restrictions placed on women by some traditional Muslims. But when you insult one mom, you insult many of them, and you do so at your own political peril.
This time he had changed his tune.
The Republican presidential candidate has a history of banning people from his campaign.
The Republican presidential candidate asked the mother to “take the baby out of here” because it was crying.
