[quote:R+:MV8zODkwMjYxXzcwMTAyMjIyX0FEMkY0MUJD] Did Obama pay tribute to the even greater David Bowie? An American Icon? If she performed for him for a golf party or whatever then he hired her for entertainment so she worked for him in a sense. Why is everyone so touchy and hanging on his EVERY single syllable. He has so much more power than you realize, he has dolts triggered for days. When you bring in talent for a function you are hiring a person to perform/work. So, yes, she worked for him. If he was a fan of her and vice versa she would have probably done it free and then it wouldn't have been "worked for me". [/quote]
Original Message
Trump does it again!!! What a elitist a-hole!
“I want to begin today by expressing my condolences to the family of a person I knew well.
She worked for me on numerous occasions
,” Trump said to a press pool on Thursday. “She was terrific — Aretha Franklin — on her passing. She brought joy to millions of lives and her extraordinary legacy will thrive and inspire many generations to come. She was given a great gift from God — her voice, and she used it well. People loved Aretha. She was a special woman. So just want to pass on my warmest best wishes and sympathies to her family.”
Why even say that?
