OMFG!

MSNBC just now!

Dotard just dedicated the Presidents Trophy Cup to the people of Puerto Rico... solemn ceremony, then rich people clapping and cheering. You asshat, they don't need a gold trophy...they need FOOD. MEDICAL SUPPLIES AND A PRESIDENT THAT ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT HER CITIZENS. Did your cup give them the water they need to survive? No it was as empty as your soul. You are letting them die and that, sir is called genocide.

Fu_k that. It does nothing to the people in need.

And first of all, why the hell is he at a golf tournament? No idea of appropriate behavior.

If not in the oval office helping to coordinate aid, he should be on his way to PR instead of at a golf event, or at least preparing to go.

43. Donald Trump Dedicated A Golf Trophy To Hurricane Victims, And Everyone Is Furious
Mon Oct 2, 2017, 12:25 AM
Oct 2017


Donald Trump's response to the crisis in Puerto Rico has, uh, left a lot to be desired. In the week and a half since the island was decimated by Hurricane Maria on Sept. 20, his most notable statements about the devastated U.S. territory have been to victim blame Puerto Rico for its debt and pick a fight with one of the most prominent leaders on the island. And now, in a jaw-droppingly tone-deaf gesture, Trump dedicated a golf trophy to hurricane victims in Puerto Rico on Oct. 1.

Trump spent the weekend of Sept. 30 at his own golf club in Bedminster, NJ, but was at the Liberty National Golf Club on Sunday afternoon to award the President's Cup trophy — the first time the award has been handed out by a sitting president, according to NJ.com. As he awarded the trophy to the victorious U.S. team, he spoke about the disaster in Puerto Rico, as well as hurricane-ravaged Florida and Texas. He said,

On behalf of all of the people of Texas and all of the people of – if you look today and see what's happening, how horrible it is, though we have it under really great control in Puerto Rico. And the people of Florida, who have really suffered over this last short period of time with the hurricanes, I want to just remember them and we're going to dedicate this trophy to all of those people that went through so much.


That's nice enough, worthy of some polite golf applause, I suppose. Until you remember that Trump himself has been under heavy criticism for heading to a golf resort during a time when millions of American citizens are reportedly without electricity, reliable drinking water, or communication in a disaster zone.
Then? It's not so good.

and computer yesterday. It was glorious! I was hoping Dotard would be golfing and leave the poor people of PR alone for a day...since he isn’t interested in helping them one bit. But no. He can’t even do that. Are you fucking kidding me? This takes my breath away. And, he’s due to speak in 10 minutes. God help us.

It was a giant FUCK YOU to the people of Puerto Rico. Drumpf - Yeah, I'll give you this meaningless shout out, but actual help, fuck NO. He won't spend $ on saving brown people's lives because he literally hates them because they didn't support his stupid gold course there and it went bankrupt. This is personal with him and he's personally getting off on them suffering and dying.
