Shortly after concluding a rally Friday evening in northern Minnesota, President Trump reacted to the news of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s death, saying that “she led an amazing life.”

“She just died? I didn’t know that. She led an amazing life, what else can you say? Whether you agree or not … she led an amazing life,” Trump told reporters before boarding Air Force One, according to a White House pool report.

  1. You’re not fit to mention her name, asshole.

  2. … what else can you say?

    “Fuck you, dipshit.”

  3. The deathbed wish of her amazing life was that someone other than you name her successor. Millions will work to make that wish come true. Have. No. Doubt.

  4. Avatar for Scheer Scheer says:

    She didn’t say that. She said"My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed."
    That new President might be Donald Trump

  5. Somehow I doubt that’s what she meant. In what way would Donald Trump be a new president? But don’t be shy, comment more than every nine months. Let us hear your interesting views.
