Trump: “I hate to tell you, Puerto Rico, but you’ve thrown our budget a little our of whack”

'Unlike a real disaster like Katrina, only 16 people have died here.'

Rory Cashin

Is he… is he guilt-tripping the island for being the victim of a natural disaster?

Remember Sideshow Bob, and his scene with the rakes?

It starts off kinda funny, kinda surreal, but then after a few painful whacks to the face, it stops being funny. But then, eventually, it comes right around to being funny again, but you’re not entirely sure why?

That seems to be where we are with Trump now, except it isn’t a rake, it is every time he opens his mouth, and it isn’t his face getting the whack, but every living person feeling another dent in their soul. But at least it is starting to somehow almost become funny again.

Five days after kicking off the fight with the NFL, three days after telling the Secretary Of State that negotiating with North Korea is a waste of time (“Being nice to Rocket Man hasn’t worked in 25 years, why would it work now? Clinton failed, Bush failed, and Obama failed. I won’t fail.” – Kim Jong-un is 33 years old, does Trump think he’s been running North Korea since he was 8?), and barely any time at all since he attacked the Mayor of the capital of Puerto Rico for publicly asking for help, he is finally IN Puerto Rico, and in no time at all…

…Well, we’ll leave to him to just say it.

Which of the following statements was more offensive?

  • When he blamed the struggling island for putting a dent in America’s annual budget?
  • When he claimed that the 16 deaths didn’t quite measure up to a REAL disaster like Katrina?

Trick question, they were both equally, insanely offensive things to say to a population currently suffering total devastation. Well played, Donnie. Yet another rake to our souls right there.
