The Gaslighter-in-Chief apparently feels vindicated in his attacks on his administration's murder victim, 37-year-old Alex Pretti, even while some of his officials are walking back their previous statements. Trump isn't kind to the living, and he's just as much of a garbage person to the dead, too.

Trump disgracefully attacked legendary Hollywood director Rob Reiner following his death in what was determined to be an "apparent homicide." This is who Trump is.

"Agitator and, perhaps, insurrectionist, Alex Pretti’s stock has gone way down with the just released video of him screaming and spitting in the face of a very calm and under control ICE Officer, and then crazily kicking in a new and very expensive government vehicle, so hard and violent, in fact, that the taillight broke off in pieces," the big Lump wrote on Truth Social. "It was quite a display of abuse and anger, for all to see, crazed and out of control."

"The ICE Officer was calm and cool, not an easy thing to be under those circumstances!" he added. "MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN."

An encounter between Pretti and federal immigration agents 11 days before Border Patrol officers fatally shot him has emerged on video. That's in the same time frame that sources said that DHS agents broke Pretti's rib after they tackled him for trying to protect a family they were pursuing on foot. DHS law enforcement claimed they have "no record of this incident.” But then a video was released.

The video shows Pretti flipping ICE agents off; he kicked their SUV a couple of times, and he was spitting mad. Yeah, he spat, and he broke the taillight on the SUV. And wouldn't you be pissed off if masked jack-booted thugs invaded your city, disturbing literally every part of life in Minneapolis while randomly tear-gassing residents, including children? Yeah, I'd be angry, too. And it's unclear at what point Trump's thugs broke Pretti's rib.

And none of the videos that have emerged show justification for murder. Imagine if a video surfaced of Trump pushing Ivana down the stairs to her death. His supporters would say she deserved it.
