While the white supremacist in chief has probably garnered some points with his morally bankrupt base—looking at you, evangelicals—the rest of the country has been watching aghast as our federal government has been incredibly slow to act on the natural disaster relief needed in Puerto Rico. This is a top-down problem as seen by the unpopular president’s tweets attacking black people in sporting events over their right to peacefully protest over the weekend. Tuesday, in front of the press, Trump had this to say about his administration’s response to the crisis in Puerto Rico.
We got A+s on Texas and on Florida, and we will on Puerto Rico but the difference is this is an island sitting in an ocean. It’s a big ocean. It’s a very big ocean.
Don’t believe me? Watch it for yourself.
I guess Trump’s chief council was able to get him to say the ocean thing instead of his probable original answer that he was busy fighting pro athletes online this past weekend. The reason this is happening is because Donald Trump is a fucking idiot. And being the president of the United States means he’s a dangerous idiot who has the resources and power to jeopardize hundreds of millions of peoples’ lives.
