-by NoahTwo for the price of one again today! At zero cost to you!If that sounds like something from a grocery store window ad, that's because today's memes deal with the gifts that President Basket Case showered upon Puerto Rican victims of category 5 Hurricane Maria: Paper towels! I guess he left the sponges at home in Washington to help drain the swamp.After disdainfully trolling Puerto Ricans for almost 2 weeks, Trump embarked on a self-glorifying, way-too-late visit to Puerto Rico, saying that Puerto Ricans thanked him profusely for his efforts on their behalf. Every clip of him shown on TV or heard on radio consisted of the Loon-in-Chief telling anyone who was within earshot that the way he dealt with the disaster was "getting high ratings and praise", "high marks" and "tremendous reviews," plus, "everyone agrees." Trump turned his visit to Puerto Rico into his very own Fake News Fest.It was not surprising that he attacked Puerto Ricans, saying that "They want everything done for them." He attacked San Juan's mayor just as he had attacked London's mayor after the terrorist attacks earlier in the year. Ask yourself what the two mayors have in common and Trump's "reasoning" (and that of his supporters) is clear. He just viscerally can't stand the sight of "those people." It's a Republican thing.So, there he was. After visiting a relatively affluent, less damaged neighborhood or two, he got bored and left the island an hour ahead of his planned schedule. It was a "My work is done here-We got the photo-ops" scenario. It also was probably a case of "The old man is tired. He's bored with 'these people.' Let's get him back to Air Force One for his nap before 'they' start pelting him with rotten fruits and vegetables."I guess that when a creature like Trump is so incapable of empathy, it must be really exhausting to even attempt to fake it. He even managed to tell the suffering island that what happened to them was not a "real catastrophe;" not like Katrina! Making the whole thing about himself, as usual, he even sat down with some local officials and invited them to praise him just like his fellow crazy Kim Jong-un would.Trump did do some meet and greets, and implied that what is happening to the citizens of Puerto Rico is somehow their fault because they were ruining his budget (funny how that wasn't the case with Texas and Florida), and topped it all off by, telling Puerto Ricans to "have a good time" and in a surreal "let them eat cake" moment, began tossing paper towels to a pre-selected audience. He should have brought along a t-shirt cannon device for that, but, I guess that, too, would have "strained his budget." Likewise with bringing along a troupe of jugglers, card trick artists, sword swallowers, and clowns, lots of orange-faced, weird-haired clowns. But, hey, were they really necessary?
