Proof that Trump is nuts..He is talking about his Puerto Rico hurricane response.

Only a delusional mentally ill person would bring up anything so horrific. Saying he did a great job, and then blaming the mayor for the deaths is sick. Why go back to something like that? And then, start the blame game all over again. What does that have to do with anything? Bringing that up today, under current circumstances, proves that he cannot focus on today's problems and needs to be removed as soon as possible

Why? Some are seeing him for what he is: a sick mean asshole. The gradual pealing off of some of his base in my opinion is the result of his insane responses to issues. Yes, there will always be people who believe him, but over time, that is decreasing as Trump shows himself to be delusional and not focused. Off on some tangent talking about nothing.

his followers, and to all who want to deny what they're part of. And they'll believe because they want to AND because their leader tells them to. He no doubt believes the new mantra of "unsung success" by now also.

We have our own "some can be fooled all the time" (because they insist on it) on the left also, of course. If this were just right-wing idiocy, we'd wipe the floor with idiots.

When he feels vulnerable, he fights back — hard. And he feels vulnerable because one storm brings back memories of previous storms. With Hurricane Maria still fresh on people’s minds, of course, the subject of what happened in Puerto Rico comes up. So he is defending himself and his FEMA, his response to the disaster. It is all he knows to do. He can’t focus on Florence for long because he is still stinging from critics of his response to Maria and P.R. And he never, ever lets an opportunity go by without ranting and raving about anything to do with himself. It is part of his pathology.
