Does anyone know where the love of God goes when Fergy's posts turn the minutes to hours? Anyway... Trump had something to say about the wreck back in 2015, on the 40th Anniversary of its sinking: "DETROIT, MI – Presidential hopeful Donald Trump was on the campaign trail again, visiting a solemn “Lost Mariners Remembrance” vigil at the Dossin Great Lakes Museum November 10th on beautiful Belle Isle park in Detroit. Trump was heard mocking the ceremony loudly; making raspberry sounds, scoffing and commenting that if he was aboard the boat would either not have sunk or he would have saved all 29 men since he’s a “tremendous swimmer.” He boasted that Michael Phelps told him that if he took the time to train properly he could win more fabulous Olympic medals than anyone in history, including him. The crowd began to hush Trump who briefly piped down but could not stop rolling his eyes as a local musician performed the Gordon Lightfoot classic “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” Things got ugly when bells tolled for each of the lost crewmen. Trump made personal attacks on the crew after each bell sounded, muttering things like like “loser, fat pig, worst deck swabber ever, failure, not a good swimmer,” and finally calling captain Peter Pulcer “a very low energy captain – the worst captain in the history of Lake Superior”..." https://thisshouldbethenews.wordpress.com/2015/11/10/trump-visits-ss-edmund-fitzgerald-memorial-calls-ship-and-crew-losers/ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Never saw that History Channel piece before. Didn't know about the "bottoming" theory. It's very sad and very interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
