Narcissist-in-Chief Donald Trump couldn’t resist making the death of 20-year-old National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom all about himself when asked if he would be attending her funeral after she was shot and killed by an assailant in Washington, D.C.
Would the so-called “president” go to West Virginia and pay tribute to Beckstrom?
Trump replied that he hadn’t “thought about it yet” but said it was “certainly something I could conceive of.”
That was really all that needed to be said, but Donnie Derangement was far from finished.
“I love West Virginia,” he continued, referencing Beckstrom’s home state.
“You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere, and these are great people,” he bragged.
“I love the people of West Virginia. I love the people of our country,” he continued. “But I haven’t given it any thought — but it sounds like something I could do, yeah. It’s very raw.”
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?

Trump’s comments were not well-received on social media, with one person calling him “truly the most demented malignant narcissist alive.” Another noted that Trump was “gross” to be bragging on himself while discussing the funeral of an American who had served her country with honor.
Here’s a sampling of the online rebuke Trump received:

He couldn't, even for one moment, just be a decent person and not make it about himself.

She was barely more than a child and she sacrificed her life for the whims of a madman.

Goddamnit, I miss having some class in the White House.
Those gentlemen would have said yes and gave her praise, and *not * made it about himself.
Can we please get decorum back?
The statement by Trump sums him up completely. Narcissistic sociopath through & through. He could care less about Sarah Beckstrom just like he doesn’t give a shit about the average American.

It's like holding one's breath underwater; he starts feeling restless, begins to gasp if it goes beyond a minute when someone or he himself has not been praising him.
