In reply to the discussion: Trump Sparks Social Media Backlash After Telling a Little Girl She Is too Short For Volleyball [View all]LogDog75

The little girl lies to play volleyball. What the Orange Turd doesn't understand is you don't have to be tall to play or be good at volleyball. Like many people, he focuses on height when in fact most of the play is from those on the back line and the setter who don't need to be tall. In the 80s, my girlfriend played volleyball on the base team in a inter-service tournament and was named the MVP of the tournament. She was about 5'6" and was the setter but played the back line and was a good server.
Instead of dashing the little girls love of the game he should have encouraged her by asking her what position(s) she played and what she likes about the game.

I just imagined Barack Obama or Joe Biden in that situation. It melted my cold cold heart.

Me, too! Obama or Biden would have encouraged her! Neither of them would EVER say something like that!

He should invite Spud Webb to the White House and tell him he's too short to play basketball.

He's like a senile perverted old grandpa. His staff should dissuade people from bringing children around him.
