Trump's Insane Tweets On Puerto Rico TODAY May Cost Republicans The Senate

Trump will lie about anything and everything!

"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..."

hyperbolic, etc.

Happens here STILL sometimes.

Some of us know what they are really about because we have dealt with them like in business.

I called them traitors and terrorists for years and years because they never show allegiance to country, only to party, and their actions repeatedly result in dead human beings, TERRORISM. TREASON.

Etc.

There is a group of Americans who would enthusiastically lineup to man the ovens at a concentration camp if ZZTrump asked them. Might not be 35%, but it's definitely above 15% IMO.

The more he does the bigger hole he digs. I hope this becomes the moron's "Good job, Brownie" moment.

If you or anyone you know knows someone who has an actual account of suffering or dying in the aftermath of that storm it needs to be spread far and wide. I don’t know why someone in media isn’t on the ground right now putting out calls for photos, grieving relatives, videos of loved ones who died, things that will gut punch those who might be complacent into outrage and action. I know many won’t care. But many will.

14. That appears to be a cartoon of Gordon Brown. He said today he fears Trump's idiocy

makes the whole world vulnerable to another crash:

“The cooperation that was seen in 2008 would not be possible in a post-2018 crisis both in terms of central banks and governments working together. We would have a blame-sharing exercise rather than solving the problem.

In the light of the trade war launched against Beijing by the US, Brown doubted that China would be as cooperative a second time. “Trump’s protectionism is the biggest barrier to building international cooperation,” he said.
...
“In the next crisis a breakdown of trust in the financial sector would be mirrored by breakdown in trust between governments. There wouldn’t be the same willingness to cooperate but rather a tendency to blame each other for what’s gone wrong.

“Countries have retreated into nationalist silos and that has brought us protectionism and populism. Problems that are global as well as national and local are not being addressed. Countries are at war with each other on trade, climate change and nuclear proliferation.”

He doesn't seem the right person to illustrate Trump 'foot-in-mouth'.

He's disrespecting a lot of brown people who can't vote for President anyway. Neither he nor his cult care about them.

The only thing that can cost Republicans the Senate is if people GOTV. If this is what pisses them off enough to do that then good. But there is still plenty of time between now and November for them to calm down and forget to get off their ass and vote.

A lie that’s already being defended and spread by trump apologists.
