The President tweets while Houston sinks

1. Sociopath.

2. +1

The hurricane wasn't named after him, so why should he care

[3catwoman3]

32. The National Weather Service does not...

...have a Shitstorm rating. If they did, the destructiveness of Shitstorm Donnie would be off the charts.

5. The clinical diagnosis is Orange Nero Psychopath.

[luvtheGWN]

27. Wouldn't it be nice if

he behaved like a grownup instead of a spoiled little 6-year-old.......

[Daddyleg]

30. Missouri

Dems will lose in Missouri because they cheat so big the votes of people of color don't even get counted. They don't even try to hide it.

eta: A lot of people have responded to her.

[malaise]

11. Damn

Well at least folks have social media

[Igel]

28. They're saying not to rely on social media.

The only people monitoring it are civilians, not rescue workers.

Good for her. Somebody probably used their phone to call 911.

(They've also issued alerts saying to not call 911 unless you really *need* to be rescued. If you're safe but inconvenienced, wait.)

13. She's OK

15. Nero plays violin while Rome burns. Trump tweets while SE Texas drowns.

Then and Now.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

22. This n/t

[sarge43]

16. It's Katrina again

The same pain, despair, rage, sense of helplessness

One thing is making it worse: Trump. He can't even act like it matters.

[leftstreet]

18. The convention ctr in downtown Houston is taking people in

Good news, but bad memories of Katrina

[smirkymonkey]

35. He is incapable of empathy. The man is a sociopath.

His lack of concern in the time of a national emergency is repulsive. He's probably thinking "When can I go play golf again and stop pretending to worry about all these whiners in Texas".

[sarge43]

39. Even sociopaths can fake it when they need to

As said he doesn't even try to pretend.

[orangecrush]

17. Caligula

[DDySiegs]

20. Dear Orange crush -

Have you considered whether perhaps you are being unfair to -- indeed maligning -- Caligula.

[orangecrush]

31. That is

In Rumps case, entirely possible.

[Kleveland]

40. As I have stated elsewhere...

Caligula was mad, no doubt... but at least he was highly educated, and actually knew how the Government of Rome operated.

The Orange Crush is not educated, and knows nothing about anything except mental masturbation and greed!!!

I want, we want him to go away!

Far far away!

[DesertRat]

19. If ever there was a question about this man's lack of compassion

There is no doubt after today.

[muntrv]

21. He will care only when a hurricane hits Mar A Lago.

[Beartracks]

38. I think you're right. n/t

24. Thinking of our friends and #Astros family in Houston and Corpus Christi today. Be safe.

No idea about this. Anyone ?

25. What a PETTY little "man."

Those who voted for, and especially those who still support this piss poor excuse for a waste of air, ARE deplorable.

Sadly for us, I guess they "took their country back," huh?

The current sickness plagues us all and casts great doubt on our future. We must turn the tide.

STOP the goddamned infighting;
If necessary, swallow a bit of pride;
Bury the hatchet
(certainly don't use it on your ally);
Suck it up;
Think beyond yourself;
Come together;
Speak out with unity;
And GOTV, 2018!

33. Could we get a statement

from Barbara Bush? Katrina had just devastated the gulf coast. How does she feel about Houston evacuees?

Almost everyone I’ve talked to says, ‘We’re going to move to Houston.’ What I’m hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.
And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them.

34. President Obama: Thank you to all the first responders and people helping each other out......

Thank you to all the first responders and people helping each other out. That's what we do as Americans. Here's one way you can help now.

45. Thanks for posting that

I hadn't seen it

[ananda]

36. Since this will be a minimum 2-year recovery period ..

.. costing many billions of dollars ..

I'm just wondering where the money and the help will come from.

They certainly won't come from 45's self-serving, asinine tweets.

[Beartracks]

37. FFS, Trump. You can't even do THIS right.

But then, I thought you'd be able to renounce white supremacy and neo-Nazis without having to be given a script to sullenly, woodenly, unconvincingly read from a teleprompter. So, I'm not really surprised. You're kind of bad at EVERYthing.

[LiberalBrooke]

41. Are his handlers keeping information from him?

I know they surround him and feed him "good" news to avoid a tantrum but can they actually keep awful Houston images away from him? Or is he so far gone that he connot grasp how desperate the situation is for those in Texas?

[zentrum]

43. Those tweets are so sociopathic

.....and tone-deaf I can't believe they are real. It's like a bad parody of a cruel king.

But they are real--not parodies? Not phonies?

I thought he was supposed to be good at media optics telegraphed to his base. Even his base would be disheartened by these tweets at this time.

[OliverQ]

44. I still see people defending this tweets.

They're saying he can't do much else about the situation, and at least praised the workers on the ground.


The bar is so ridiculously low, people think this is acceptable by comparison to not defending Nazis.
