Then I guess we shouldn’t provide tax relief to the 1% until the budget is back to normal.

translated : when our budget deficit is much bigger than the last one Obama had, it’s all Puerto Rico’s fault.

I think we’re all feeling a little out of whack for the last 10 months or so due to Shitstorm Donald.

All the money we unexpectedly had to spend on Real America®©™ due to these natural disasters had nothing to do with it!

I totally expected to see a claim from him that they need the tax cuts now more than ever. Even though he didn’t say that, I am 100% certain that there is no plan to reduce proposed cuts.

Hell no! Tax cuts pay for themselves! Everybody knows that!*

(You know, except for anybody with even the slenderest grasp on reality…)

Since a president should lead by example, Puerto Rico should be allowed to follow this president’s example and tell the Vulture Capitalist bondholder to go pound Maria-eroded beach sand up their puckered, wrinkled, white assholes…

In Trump world: Helping Texas = in whack. Helping Florida = in whack. Helping Puerto Rico = out of whack. I don’t get it. Actually, I do…

“We saved a lot of lives. If you look at the — every death is a horror, but if you look at a real catastrophe like Katrina, and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that died, and you look at what happened here with really a storm that was just totally overbearing, nobody has seen anything like this.”

It’s a fucking miracle, I tell ya.

“I hate to tell you, Puerto Rico, but you’ve thrown our budget a little out of whack, because we spent a lot of money on Puerto Rico."

But, about that money - you owe us, big time.

Is there ANYONE who’s got the guts to say that what we need after a series of expensive disasters is a tax INCREASE?

How about an emergency one-year 5 cent a gallon federal gasoline tax to finance disaster relief? Is that really politically impossible? How many Americans would really carp about it?

Funny how that happens.

I worked with an accountant once, who said, “A budget is something to vary from.”

At least he didn’t act like a petty 10-year-old by ignoring Mayor Cruz.

At least he took his hood off, before addressing the group.
