You really can’t make this stuff up. Not when it comes to the newest crazy thing Donald Trump says and does.
On Tuesday in Virginia, he interrupted his spiel on trade imbalance to throw a woman with a crying baby out of his rally.
At least this time, he was nicer about it – not demanding “throw ’em out” or saying, “I’d like to punch ’em myself,” as he has at some stump sites when hecklers or protesters stole attention from him.
But here’s the thing: One minute Trump is interrupting his stream-of-consciousness blather to look at the mom and say – in his on-and-on-and-on fashion: “Don’t worry about that baby. I love babies, Don’t worry about it. I love babies. I hear that baby crying, I like it. What a baby. What a beautiful baby. Don’t worry, don’t worry. The mom’s running around like – don’t worry about it, you know. It’s young and beautiful and healthy and that’s what we want.”
But moments later, after returning to his rant on China, he turns back to mom: “Actually, I was only kidding, you can get the baby out of here. That’s all right. Don’t worry. I, I think she really believed me that I love having a baby crying while I’m speaking.”
