Compassion? Competence?

OT? In Stalinist USSR, the manufacturers of rubber work boots had to include warnings not to try to dry them on the stove or in the oven. I’m guessing, a la Trump, it only helped those who could read.

Irma went thru Mar-a-Lago, and damaged a house trump owns in St Marten and mussed up his various Florida golf courses.

Trump sees a humanitarian disaster, but can only see dollar signs?

Surprise, surprise.

“Big water, ocean water.” Is this the sincere astonishment of a child’s discovery?

I didn’t know they had islands that big! And far away!

“This is an island surrounded by water, big water, ocean water”

So fucking painfully stupid.

“This is an island surrounded by water, big water, ocean water,” Trump said.

As opposed to an island that isn’t surrounded by water. Dumbass.

You’re forgeting all the Republicans that allow him to continue in his position or otherwise enable him.

Well, it’s true. If the hurricane ever hit Mackinac or Door County, it would be land surrounded by big water, but not ocean water. So its good to know that he knows not to load up the Edmund Fitzgerald to provide this relief.

Trump doesn’t give a rats ass about people anywhere.

Although he is addicted to hear their praise, he literally cares nothing about them.

He won’t do anything until he figures out a way to turn a profit. Worst. President. Ever. He’s making Franklin Pierce, Warren Harding and George W. Bush look good.

Wouldn’t it be nice if he took a page from Silent Cal?

Yet he totally ignores the US tremendous debt while fixating on providing the 1% with a yuge tax cut, the biggest tax cut ever believe me.

Worse than that. It’s not just “I don’t care”. It’s how can I take advantage of these people while they’re down and transfer the wealth of the island to myself, my family, and my (already) wealthy friends.
