      I think the surprise is how much he’s done and has constantly faced zero actual consequences.

        Everyday someone is surprised hippos kill more people in Africa than lions…

        Because they’re ignorant of how dangerous hippos are, not because new information comes out.

        This is literally Trump’s second term, if you’re just now surprised how bad he is…

        At best you just started paying attention, most likely tho you’re still not paying enough.

      Rep. Gwen Moore, a Democrat from Wisconsin who has championed legislative efforts against domestic violence, said such crimes amount to “abuse that devastates families, endangers women and children, and takes lives every single day.”

      “As a survivor of domestic violence, I found President Trump’s comments today downplaying domestic violence deeply offensive and disturbing,” she said in a statement. “Trump has a long history of violence against women that makes his dismissiveness unsurprising.”

      That was the one result I got when I ctrl-f’d for “surpris” in this article. Just because it’s a completely predictable display of misogyny and ignorance by religious fundamentalists and the orange asshole doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be called out by decent people as the evil shit it is.
