by NoahOn Tuesday afternoon, Señor Trumpanzee gave a special, and we mean oh so special, photo-op, complete with charts, direct from the Oval Office to discuss the coming of Hurricane Florence. It didn't take long for him to make the recent Hurricane disasters all about himself, particularly the effects of last year's Hurricane Maria on Puerto Rico, an island of 3.4 million people he may not have known are American citizens. At least that's how he acted as he was infamously slow to respond to the disaster while never mentioning that Puerto Ricans are citizens and as such should be looked after immediatley.When discussing the hurricane disasters that have happened in his time in office, he immediately gave himself delusional "heck of a job" kudos for the job he failed to do when Puerto Rico was hit. But, Trump was so ill-prepared and thoughtless he delayed in sending a hospital ship to to the island. It arrived two weeks after the hurricane had left. There were no efficient plans to get people in dire medical need to the ship and it sat all but unused. Much needed supplies, simple things such as drinking water which all humans need in order to survive sat in port for a week because the Tump administration hadn't thought or cared about how supplies would get from port to populace. Whole communities were cut off from aid. People died. It was as if Trump's goons had willfully neglected to strategize the details. It rapidly became obvious that, to Trump and his support staff, some lives don't matter. A year later, power is still not completely restored, even with the contract to do so being rewarded to some Trump cronies who lacked the experience and manpower to do the job; the best people, right?The official death toll is now at 2,975. That doesn't even count those who will die due to the aftereffects of Trump's big failure to act. What say Trump?
I think Puerto Rico was incredibly successful. I actually think it was one of the best jobs that's ever been done. I think Puerto Rico was an incredible unsung success.
Hey, after all, he did eventually come himself, tour a damaged well-to-do neighborhood, and toss rolls of paper towels to the crowd. What a guy!Also, during his Tuesday oval office romper room show, he went on to claim multiple "A+" ratings for his response to the hurricane hits of Texas and Florida and then nonsensically rambled on back to about Puerto Rico saying it "was, in a certain way the best job we did..." There you have it. Nearly 3000 American citizens died, an incredible success! Tremendous! The best! This is just one more example of how literally everything Trump does seems designed to destroy American lives, hurt American people, if not outright kill them. It's not just Puerto Rico, of course. It's in his disdain for the environment, his disdain for basics like food safety and air quality and his policies that pump carcinogens into our water. And, that's just domestic policy. Putin could not do it better if he was personally in charge, Oh, wait...
