On Vacation as People Are Dying

President Trump spoke to reporters Friday from the White House in Washington before he departed for Bedminster, New Jersey where he is expected to head to his Trump National Golf Club, telling them that Puerto Rico is going really well ...

Friday was the island’s 10th day without power and it was still hard to obtain clean water and fuel according to Carmen Yulin Cruz, the mayor of the capital of Puerto Rico ...

"Damn it, this is not a good news story," Carmen Yulin Cruz told CNN angrily on Friday. "This is a 'people-are-dying story.' This is a life-or-death story" ...

... Trump’s comments are those of the drunken uncle at Christmas ...

2. Unforgivable!

How dare he take off to play golf while PR is in crisis? He is the most vile, disgusting human being on the planet!

3. Since he is useless anyway, good. Let him go. The optics are horrendous, horrible

More and more people are hating him every minute. A very conservative woman I work with is disgusted with him over this. And she is a racist!

5. Don't let your friend forget this

Conservatives have astonishing memory lapses if they're not constantly reminded of things. That's why Fox keeps harping on the same stories for days, weeks, months, and years. They need to be sure their audience has internalized what they need to be on a constant mad against people, places, and events that really have nothing to do with them.

"I still can't get over how President Trump went off on vacation while Puerto Rico was so badly damaged."

"Man! Trump's taking off to stay at one of his hotels on our dime while the victims of Hurricane Maria were dying was so reprehensible."

"Remember when Puerto Rico was so devastated by that hurricane, and Trump took off to play golf?"
