“What a crowd, what a turnout,” Trump said from atop this firetruck, addressing hurricane victims.





edit to add: Christine Wilkie just retweeted this post saying that the crowd wasn't composed of hurricane victims because Corpus Christi didn't get hit that bad. Even if they were just supporters it's still a tone deaf, shitty thing to say.

2. Not the Onion?

There has never been a more tone deaf human being than Donald Trump. Clueless.

[redstatebluegirl]

3. Good grief. I don't wish ill on people who are suffering but if they backed Trump suffering is part

of the deal.

4. What an idiot. Nt

7. OMG!!! He disgusts me beyond no end.

9. Fuck you.

Get a clue.

10. My God and her in that FLOTUS hat.

[Eugene]

11. Damn. He really said that.

I was hoping for the sake of my faith in humanity that he didn't really go there. But...

Trump has absolutely no regard for the words that come out of his mouth.

[octoberlib]

22. Thanks for the video!

[Control-Z]

23. I don't have it in me to facepalm any longer.

My eyelids just slowly fell shut.

[logosoco]

39. If someone saw this without the context

And there really isn't much in this clip, would they even think it was part of a visit nearby historical flooding?

I can't believe any human would say such a thing in these circumstances. He is not human!!!

[SunSeeker]

48. Wow.

[PdxSean]

12. Noooo! Please, no!

I logged in to say this was a hilarious joke. I was laughing out loud. Then . . . then I scrolled down and saw that it wasn't a joke; it isn't the Onion and it ain't from Borowitz. Just when you think the sad can't get any sadder.

[ProudLib72]

13. Please tell me that, at the very least

he resisted the urge to pretend drive the firetruck, toot its horn, and turn on the siren. Please, oh please, just tell me that!

I await the depressing answer...

15. Loser pos once again

16. Revving up the crowd...

21. So he's basically holding a rally not far from a major disaster area where people are suffering.

How low can this man go?

[Retrograde]

27. It's about 200 miles

So it's sorta like talking about flooding in Chicago while he's in Indianapolis. Corpus Christi is drier - and a lot more Republican - than Houston currently is.

17. What a fucking clueless troll..

[PearliePoo2]

18. Dear God, if there EVER was a perfect time for lightning to hit a fire truck

and incinerate an orange ass to ashes, it was then.

[ChubbyStar]

25. If Velvetta Himmler (Thanks Ferret) got struck by lightening at least there might be nachos!

Do you think he says this shit at funerals too?

[SunSeeker]

50. LOL

[July]

55. IIRC, he is reported to have talked about himself at length at his father's funeral. nt

[ChubbyStar]

56. oh ICK

What an absolute Gollum FART.

[msdogi]

19. Gotta stop reacting...

Seems I am screaming some epitaph every time the orange slime appears, must get this under control.
Really, victims of a horrendous catastrophe are "fans"??? WTF IS THAT MONSTER WITH THE MEGAPHONE?

[smirkymonkey]

29. I know what you mean. I am going to kill myself with the stress of reacting to

every stupid, fucking clueless, hateful thing he does. I can't take it anymore. I don't think there has ever been a bigger asshole in the history of this country. It's ALWAYS ALL ABOUT HIM!!!

I can't wait until the day that we can dance on his grave.

[FuzzyRabbit]

20. Trump never disappoints, does he?

[MFM008]

26. Isn't one disaster enough

For Texas?

[angel823]

32. Gah!

Right?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. That's what really matters to him - how many people

come out to see HIM.

[smirkymonkey]

30. I know, wtf? I can't even.

No words for the rage I feel toward him right now.

[riversedge]

31. Then why did he say "We are going to get you back and operating immediately"? better pic..

might be a better pic.

33. Donald, stop with those fucking drugs. They're making your mind into mush.

[riversedge]

34. Trump with his blowhorn was trying to mimic Bush after 911????

[Mountain Mule]

35. People were screaming like they were at a rock concert!

That was just another rally for twitler. Corpus Christi is not flooded the way Houston is and those folks who made up the crowd were all about adoring twitler. "What a crowd, what a turnout!" BARF!

[LonePirate]

36. It's not even raining there judging by Melania's white shirt.

Thankfully for the residents of the Houston area, he did not visit them.

[riversedge]

37. Reporters heard no mention of the dead............

More detail on rally/speech from Dallas Morning News poolers: Trump stood on a raised platform with a few hundred people in the crowd.

38. They are no longer supporters

They're sympathizers.

[Orangeutan]

40. Did he get to steer the firetruck and honk the horn?

[Stuart G]

41. I haven't the words to describe this..Perhaps it proves to all...that he lost it.

..Maybe this is the proof they need...total insensitivity and lack of respect for this situation and this event. Maybe a few more pukes will see what we already know..he has lost it. He cannot be President. Total incompetence .....................

[ChubbyStar]

42. Nope! Not gonna happen. The people who support tRump are airheaded sycophants

If they had an original thought it would have died from loneliness years ago. They are all about the circus, and YES he is their biggest clown. Very surreal.

[Stuart G]

43. These six words will define him always.."What a crowd, what a turnout, 8/29/17

Now, if you did not live through Watergate..then you did not hear the five words that forever define Richard Nixon...Yes, that can happen to a President....................................................here are those five words.............

"I am not a crook".......... November 17, 1973......Here is that moment....37 seconds

[Bradshaw3]

44. Always, always, always about him

There's not one person, one event, anything that matters other than how he views it - in relation to him. If they did a study of malignant narcissicists he would be on every psychologists' list as the worst ever.

[ananda]

45. Also

Jamil Smith tweeted: he wasn't addressing Harvey victims. He was talking to supporters. Houston is flooded, and he's holding impromptu rallies.

[BradBo]

46. Stupid hair!

I'm coming to realize trumps stupid hair is so crazy that he has to actually wear a hat or he will look like a fool. Without hours of hair prep he is forced to cover his stupid head.

[progressoid]

47. Did Melanoma take off her 5" heels?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

49. It's a disaster not a pep rally

Fucking idiot

51. That new events coordinator is doing a heckuva job

What, no Joel Osteen?

52. Narcissist 101 nt

53. He should have to reimburse taxpayers for putting on a campaign rally in Corpus Christi.

Corpus Christi is not flooded. There is no reason for him to be there.

54. Worst person who ever lived who did not personally kill people.

Not sure Hitler did but will assume he did.

57. Did they let Donny Two-Scoops sit in the driver's seat and go VROOM, VROOM?
