Never before seen a president callously dismiss the deaths of 3000 Americans

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. As time went by it did not go up by much. Then, a long time later, they started to report really large numbers, like 3000...

...we haven't seen the bottom of his depravity yet.

Amazing, for those of us who endured so much flak for comparative slights from our pols. That he's still standing is a frightening harbinger of what's to come.

- to place the blame on others and all in the name of placating his demented ego.
