No reprieve for you this time, Trump fans. Is he merely mocking the residents of Puerto Rico? Is it a publicity stunt? If it is, it is in poor taste.

He needs to spend more time and resources with viable Presidential response to this crisis.

Cmon folks, why do anything so irrationally calloused and stupid? There is something wrong with this guy and instead of blaming the press coverage, he needs to visit a psychiatrist's couch. As usual, he asked for it.

  From your link:
  
  "...Trump cast rolls of paper towels into the eager arms of delighted Puerto Ricans on Tuesday."
  
  "At the island's Calvary Chapel, enthusiastic residents reached for the paper towels"
  
  "...the president was cheered amid signs that read "Proud Americans," "God Bless You Mr. President" and "Let's Make Puerto Rico Great Again."
  
  It would that there was far more going on than you would have us believe. Are you ashamed for trying to turn what appears to be a very enthusiastic response into just another negative spin about our President from another disgruntled voter with TDS?

  No doubt. Surely we know that for a fact. Names, credit card numbers (to buy air flights), voice recordings of hiring them, flight numbers, telephone logs of the conspiracy, etc. No doubt at all, is there - it is absolute hard, true fact.
  
  Or, just maybe, it's a gut reaction from Trumpaphobes desperate to discredit anything he does.

He looks like he’s tossing t-shirts to kids at a hockey game. Such a weird dude. It’s been painfully obvious for a while now that he struggles with appropriate interactions so it’s not at all surprising. He actually reminds me a lot of my grandpa shortly before he died, I was constantly apologizing to people for his borderline offensive comments and flippant behaviour in serious situations. Except he wasn’t the president, so you know, on a much smaller scale...

  Exactly. I don't blame Trump, I blame the spin doctors who thought that would be an appropriate publicitiy stunt. How much difference will one roll of paper towel make? He should've been supervising the distribution of palletloads of something useful.
  
  But I do blame Trump for his speeches. How disgraceful, to compare Puerto Rica's hurricane to Katrina and imply that they got off lightly. And to tell them that they've stuffed up his budget. And I didn't read about those, I saw the video footage, and I'm appalled at his heartlessness. I know some have tried to say he was being humorous, but both statements were in really, really bad taste.

  I wanted to point out that the real dummy was whichever staffer put those paper towels out there for him to throw. Surely reasonable folks aren't going to think Pres. Trump orchestrated that effort. Can you imagine him saying to his staffers - "Hey, put some paper towels out there for me to throw."
  
  But, but, but, wait... please notice that none of that thought applies to the tone-deafness of him actually throwing the paper towels. An experienced politician would have known better.

  Totally agree. Sometimes, it really does seem like he has people close to him who are trying to set him up for backlash like this; or they are just plain inexperienced, themselves. If Trump wasn't so damn shallow to begin with, he could see how silly stuff like this makes him look. He probably shouldn't have surrounded himself with so many friends & family; and concentrated more on experience - since he didn't have much. It would have been a good idea.

  Marisa, that is not the task of top management, whether government or private industry. Trump's job is to provide money and manpower, not to be on the docks playing foreman of the work crew. It isn't even his job to determine how many bottles of water or gallons of gas are shipped, no matter how much he's blamed for not shipping the "right" materials.

  It never ceases to amaze me the hoops we need to scramble to jump to complain about Trump. Although I agree with PP's sentiment concerning our 'foot in mouth' commander in chief the left is doing a grand job of obfuscating their legitimate opposition to this man by complaining about the silliest and most mundane things. Complaining that the man 'chucked paper towels' during the distribution of needed supplies to hurricane victims is about as nonsensical as the explanation why a librarian was justified in being offended by a gift of books from Melania Trump.
  
  How does anyone honestly expect an adult to be offended by a guy 'chucking paper towels' to a crowd of people who need the paper towels?

  Perhaps you're right. But the other choice was a woman that would absolutely solidify the existing system. Another J Edgar, IMO, that would increase personal political power for her and her cronies as her top priority. That would use that power, just as Hoover did, to corrupt the institution further and use that corruption against any citizen not actively supporting her.
  
  Trump, on the other hand, will never be able to gain that kind of political power. He has far too many enemies in Congress and makes more every day. Trump may or may not damage the system, but Clinton would build it into a personal fiefdom similar to Trumps businesses, "owning" every person on the Hill, just as Trump "owns" his business subordinates.
  
  All opinion, of course, but don't we cast votes based on opinions of what the future will become?

Why haven't they done it? It would be great red meat for Trump's base. They haven't done it because after so many investigations, they found nothing that was worth prosecuting. "Lock her up" was just another tactic of of his con job. He never meant it.

  "But the other choice was a woman that would absolutely solidify the existing system"
  
  Yes, Hillary was part of the establishment as much as any white male politician before her (and those who still inhabit Capital Hill, is anyone still SCARED?!) - except her scandals were TAME compared to just about every potus before her (and certainly much more tame than Trump's) - with the possible exception of Obama who we voted into office for the exact same reasons as Trump: because he didn't have much experience; and was supposed to bring CHANGE - by developing bipartisan policies, which he TRIED to do.
  
  But yeah, didn't work because of our infighting, accusatory, disappointing & frustrating politicians.
  
  Hillary would have carried on that 'middle of the road' stance - you're absolutely right. It has been very frustrating for those of us who supported her for so damn long - to know that NOW is the time white men decided that 'her kind' of politician is no longer acceptible. This political crap has been going on for decades; but Hillary was considered to be the evil cream of the crop - thanks to decades of fake news, not just a few years of it.
  
  The problem most of us have is that you DIDN'T go out and find yourself someone the people could respect (and more importantly, someone who actually respects people beyond his precious base). Ideally, it should have been politicians who 'paid' for Trump's divisive presence - not 'we the people'.
  
  What are you going to do to keep Trump's destructive momentum going after he is gone? Who are you going to bring in next - Ted Nugent? Kid Rock? Bret Michaels?
  
  Perhaps we could go through the entire 80's cultural database (which includes Trump) - and put those who haven't managed to die yet (I would have happily voted for Tom Petty, ha!); and whose brains have been the most tampered with (gotta make sure that they have locker room banter effectively offensive & insulting down pat) in there. Those three I just listed would also fit Trump's bill. Neat!

  Most people in this country are Moderates. The Dems just need to find people like Obama and Hillary - who don't fall into a scary niche (like having dark skin, a terrifying last name or be female).
  
  This is what we learned from this election: Dems are racist & misogynistic, too. Most of us women always blamed sexist crap on Conservatives. But, it is turning out that young, white, male Democrats (LIBERALS!) under the age of 30 - are who not only helped vote Trump into office; but they are also behind the growing White Supremacy movement in big cities around the country.
  
  Here's what is going on in Seattle. If its going on here, its going on elsewhere: We Snuck into Seattle's Super Secret White Nationalist Convention
  http://www.thestranger.com/news/2017/10 … convention
  
  It seems pretty obvious to some of us that people in this country are being pitted against each other intentionally - and the powers that be are obviously on a roll. And that doesn't even include how Trump has been affecting the world stage by doing things like taunting & poking at North Korea.
  
  We all know their leader is a loose cannon. All he needs is one good excuse to destroy something - and Trump has given him more than one. As SOON as they have the capability, expect them to use it in a big way. They know that they are only going to get one big shot - they aren't going to settle for trying to hit Guam or Japan. North Korea wants to be able to hit the American mainland. THAT would be a huge feather in their cap - whether they actually succeed, or not. Its the brave, daring, courageous act that counts to North Korea's leader. He could care less about his people.

  I agree with you that a significant segment of Democrats are also racist and misogynistic. Let's not forget, though, that Hillary won the popular vote by a significant margin. She also beat an old white dude in the primaries. That said, a large part of the reason she has been so harshly judged is because she is a strong, successful woman competing in a field full of men, many of whom operate on the same dubiously competitive level as Hillary but are judged less harshly for it.
  
  I do think Bernie would have beaten con man Don, partly because he would have siphoned off some of those white male voters, but also because he had less baggage than Hillary.

  Well, you will have your opinion on her transgressions (they weren't that bad) and I will have mine (her massive political power covered them up or just made them "go away"). The whole "server" thing, for instance, was a jail sentence waiting to happen (and did, to those without her political power), but it has quietly vanished into the night. She only made one major political error (incompetence in the Benghazi affair), and that's more important than actual criminal activity when it comes to politics. Witness Tim Murphy who has done nothing illegal, but it cost him his career.

  I left out your contention that the DNC and Hillary voters bear responsibility for your vote, since we might have resolved that one.
  
  If I am not accurately understanding your position, I apologize. My last post was just to show that Don's policy of appointing foxes to guard the henhouses will only further erode what protections we still have.

It is truly more and more difficult to 'stand by your vote' for 'Ol Bone Spurs.

Is it that certain voters will never admit that they could possibly have made a mistake? Dealing with people who will never admit they are wrong .. and then blame others! Sounds a lot like Donnie. So perhaps the Drumpf voters saw a bit of themselves in General Incompetence?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/pow … 171fcdd678

1) Trump is unserious about passing legislation.

2) Trump has alienated several Senate Republicans that he needs more than they need him.

3) Trump cares more about showmanship than statesmanship.

4) Trump still does not understand how government works.

5) The president’s credibility is shot in Washington.
