David Frum knows that Donald Trump is so devious he was able to stage of coup of the United States even while serving as its sitting president. Trump’s hunger for power was laid bare, of course, in that anecdote about the second scoop of ice cream he enjoys for dessert, which explained a lot about him.
So it’s not a surprise that Frum is asking the public to take a second while they mourn the 19 killed in a terrorist attack in Manchester and think about Trump’s role in that incident.
As we mourn Manchester, remember: for a moment of ignorant boasting, the president betrayed one of the West’s best sources inside ISIS.

No, the NYTimes betrayed it, not Trump.

This is a horrible thing to say. This is not the time to score cheap points.

Ridiculous politically motivated "hot take." @davidfrum

How dare you use this tragic event to pursue ANY political agenda. I despise Trump but this is NOT appropriate. Disgusting lack of class.

As we mourn Manchester, remember: David Frum couldn't stop hating The Donald long enough to be minimally decent about it.

I'll darn sure remember the bag of tools that have tried to make political points while parents ID their murdered children.

Couldn't wait five damned seconds, could you, David? Continue your well-earned slide into obscurity…

not really the time to gloat regarding #POTUS mistakes. Now is the time for #prayers, #reflection and #compassion for victims
— John R. Seita (@JohnSeita) May 23, 2017
As I mourn Manchester, I will remember the victims & their families while sending them my love & prayers. You should seriously do the same!

Mr Frum, you have a sickness. Maybe you should take a long vacation in a place without Internet for a while.
