Donald Trump was asked if he’d attend a victim’s funeral, and his response was basically, ‘Did you see my election margins?’

Donald Trump continues to show that he is a self-centered, egotistical narcissist after being asked whether he would be attending the funeral of D.C. shooting victim Sarah Beckstrom who was killed by suspected shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal on Wednesday.

Speaking at the White House, Trump was asked if he intended to attend the National Guard’s funeral in West Virginia by a reporter. The president’s response is very telling as he proceeded to boast about his election results in the state.

“I haven’t thought about it yet, but it’s certainly something I can conceive of.” Trump told the reporter before adding, “I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.”

It seems even in a tragedy the president cannot help but make it all about himself and how great he perceives himself to be.

Donald Trump is a narcissist

Trump continues his self-indulgent speech by claiming that his margins in West Virginia were bigger “than any president anywhere,” before eventually bringing it back around to the initial question and telling the reporter, “it sounds like something I could do.”

Of course, we should expect nothing less from Trump, the same man who blew his lid the second a reporter contradicted him. He loves to wave around his supposed achievements, even if he hasn’t really earned them. 

On X, people labeled him as a narcissist, “It’s like holding one’s breath underwater;” wrote one person, “he starts feeling restless, begins to gasp if it goes beyond a minute when someone or he himself has not been praising him.” Obviously Trump has a praise kink.

“I genuinely don’t understand why he needs to bring up the state someone is from and then talk about how well he did in the election.” Wrote another and they aren’t wrong. Of course, his supporters will never understand how weird it is that Trump always feels the need to do this, the word humble doesn’t even exist in this guy’s vocabulary it seems.

No matter the situation, Trump will always find a way to make the topic about himself and how great he is. How could anyone forget how he claimed to have found the cure to autism in the middle of Charlie Kirk’s funeral

Nobody is more obsessed with Donald Trump than Donald Trump, maybe it would be better if he didn’t attend Sarah Beckstrom’s funeral, he would probably only hijack the service so he can carry on telling everybody how great he thinks he is.
