It's like Trump is BRAGGING that his disaster is the biggest disaster ever.

It's really sickening watching him. "Thank you! What a great turnout!" Yeah, 200 miles away from the hard-hit areas, he holds a pep rally to sell some hats. Never once offers condolences to the victims, never once even mentions the suffering, it's just all about HIM and his great, tremendous disaster. Best disaster ever! Tremendous disaster, I can tell you that! I want to congratulate all of the disaster people. This will be bigly huge, unlike anything Crooked Hillary or Obama ever did!

Guy makes me absolutely sick.

I wondered if it was just a bias since I revile the man.

The sentiment has been expressed across a broad spectrum of voices today. His performance yesterday was abhorrent.

A nice big disaster will really bump those up. That's what he cares about.

so much, but you nailed it. It's like he's taking credit for having the biggest, baddest-ass, most destructive natural disaster occur on his watch. As though somehow, despite how horrible and deadly it has been, the fact that it has been so disastrous proves how manly he is or something. It just makes me want to vomit. He's such an incredible asshole. No words of comfort or empathy for those suffering. It's like a war to him. Like he gets off on disasters because he gets to act like a big shot.

I so fucking hate him!
