LOL, he could hardly hear

LOL. They were screaming it. He heard. He glanced over at Melania to let her know it was time to leave when they started the shouting. What does it gain him to say he could hardly hear it?

The chants and heckling could be audibly heard by cameras outside the court and by press that traveled with the president and remained several yards away from him while he viewed the casket.

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany called the chants "appalling and disrespectful."

But the "lock her up" chants they get the rally-goers to shout?

Trump's encounter with the protesters marked a rare instance where he has come into contact with a group that opposes him. He was vociferously booed during an appearance at last year's World Series and got a mixed reception during a trip to New York City for an Ultimate Fighting Championship event.

The president has otherwise surrounded himself with supporters by bringing them to the White House or attending political rallies.

And you can bet whoever convinced him he needed to show some respect to Ruth Bader Ginsberg before ramming through a Trump toadie to replace her got their head handed to them on a platter when he went back to his safe place.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
