Trump in Corpus Christi, "What A Crowd, What A Turnout"

[Stuart G]

CNN's Kevin Liptak 1:57 pm ET..

Trump addressed a crowd gathered outside the firehouse where he just met with state, federal and local officials for a Harvey briefing.

Not all were supportive; one held a sign calling Trump a "liar, cheat, racist" and another sign read "You pardoned Joe, what about Jose?"

Trump stood across the street in the driveway of the firehouse. He stepped on top of a low stool and spoke into a microphone

"Thank you everybody," Trump said, waving.

After pledging to "get you back and operating immediately," Trump remarked on the crowd size gathered to hear him speak -- as if he were at a rally.

"What a crowd, what a turnout," Trump said.

Again, you will need to scroll down through a number of stories to get to this one..(more than 5) Yes, this is what he said. I assume CNN reported this correctly, and I am sure this will be available for all to see and hear.

1. what a fool! what a jerk!

[Stuart G]

5. Yes, You are right, that is what he is..

This is beyond anything he has ever said, as if he forgot why he was there...

[BigmanPigman]

2. Were they paid actors?

[flibbitygiblets]

3. Are you fucking kidding me? Are you fucking KIDDING ME?

This narcissistic bastard...OMFG I hope Mueller takes every dime he has and he rots in federal prison.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Baby Jane on the beach.

[targetpractice]

8. Hahahah! n/t

[Squinch]

9. Perfect description.

I'd find it really funny if I weren't awash with disgust about his insensitivity.

[Squinch]

6. Oh. My. God. I have never in my long years of life run into a bigger asshole in any capacity.

I've never met one and I've never heard about one.

Not kidding.

[winstars]

25. The rest of the world is learning what us NY'ers have known for 30+ years. He's a fucking dope!!!

[Squinch]

28. I'm a New Yorker, and my family was in the NY construction trades till the 90's.

I remember my father wouldn't even subcontract to a Trump(R) subcontractor.

But the presidency just shines such a huge spotlight on his assholery, even with that history, I am amazed anew every day.

[smirkymonkey]

32. Neither have I. I didn't think such a level of "assholery" was even possible, but

he manages to top himself almost daily. I find myself constantly enraged - and I am sure I'm not alone - and I feel like my health is being compromised.

7. I saw a clip of this remark...

I think that there was some jeering from the crowd?
Did anyone else hear that? They're were a lot of crowd voiced throughout.

[Baitball Blogger]

10. "Immediately." I don't think that means what he thinks that means.

[Freethinker65]

11. Oh no he di'int!

[Hortensis]

12. Oh, no!!!! You know, if pubs are going to insist on supporting him,

and the vast majority will, I don't mind at all his making it as painful and dispiriting as possible.

[dalton99a]

13. Like a goddamn campaign rally

[OldHippieChick]

14. We all knew he would make it about him, we just weren't

sure how or when he would make the first "me" connection. Any crowd could not possibly have been there to find out wtf is going on or when help would be coming. Oh no, they were there to touch his ring.

[olddad56]

15. nothing like people who have just had their lives turned upside down..

and wanting to hear what the govt can to to help them to bring out a crowd. What a crowd, what a pig.

[chelsea0011]

16. "What a crowd"...the great Rodney Dangerfield

[edbermac]

22. LOL I was thinking about that.

The difference between him and Don the Con is that Rodney was intentional funny.

[ThingsGottaChange]

17. I can't believe

that a certifiable lunatic cannot be immediately removed from office! Skip the usual procedures for impeachment or whatever. He's insane and there should be an emergency rule to remove this fucktard NOW!!!!

[spiderpig]

18. I didn't see this asswipe and his grand arrival in TX

I was crying while watching a presser with the Houston police chief talking about the loss of a 34-year veteran who drowned trying to get to a scene.

Orange is a disgrace to humanity.

[elmac]

19. what an F'ing heartless piece of shit

and the same goes for his brain dead followers.

[louis-t]

20. "I'll be here all week. Try the veal."

What an ignorant fuck.

[Thor_MN]

27. There's nothing wrong with being ignorant.

That simply means one does not know.

Trump is willfully, malignantly stupid.

He is most certainly a fuck, but I would call him a stupid fuck.

[FakeNoose]

21. He had to kill a half-hour, waiting for his tee time

Other than that, he doesn't give a shit about these people.

Oh look at those people standing over there, they must be here to root for me.

[Cryptoad]

26. Ah,,, that's one of those Made in America hats!!!!

[TexasBushwhacker]

23. What a dick! n/t

[Javaman]

24. what a moron, what a jerk. nt

[underpants]

29. Well, I mean, he could've had Joel Osteen there.

[defacto7]

30. He should have gone to Sun Vally. Same difference.

[rockfordfile]

31. Trump is mocking them

[uppityperson]
