Trump Says The Hurricane That Crushed Puerto Rico Wasn't A "Real Catastrophe" Like Katrina

[Cuddles]

Do you expect him to sit there and take it while some lying mayor shits all over him? I dont get what you guys expect from him, Is he just supposed to not respond while they set the false narrative?

By any account including every single other leader on the island, this AID effort has been a success, yet the media wants to paint it as Katrina.

34 People in Puerto Rico died so far, in one of the greatest catastrophes in modern history. This whole narrative about the response being a failure is total b.s. from the left.

Just turned on my T.V. after coming home for the night, and the first thing i see is Don Lemon reporting on some random persons tweet, supposedly this is the narrative Trump should just accept, he should not respond while the media makes this shit up.

Ive been on the record many times saying i think Trump isnt the smartest person we have ever hard, but when the media continually sets the agenda where it becomes conservatives vs the truth it only serves to help Trump get re-elected.

The only chance Trump has to get reelected is if the left wing media keeps lying about him like this because it puts conservatives backs against the wall, it tells thinking conservatives that your choice is between a media with an agenda or Trump. If the mainstream media wants to lose in 2020 they should keep going down this path cause its pretty much the only way Trump can win.

I don't even know how the hell that rant's relevant to my post.

Trump has that '' I am your savior'' look as he tosses paper towels to hurricane victims.

Donald Trump's visit to Puerto Rico was supposed to make things better. But the president's trip the region ravaged by Hurricane Maria ended up only exacerbating his public image among locals and other Americans across the country. One particular meme of Trump with hurricane victims in Puerto Rico captures just how ridiculous the president appeared when he decided to hurl paper towel rolls into a crowd of victims. Trump shot not one, not two, not three, but seven rolls of paper towel into his audience until one member from the audience appeared to have asked for a selfie with the president. Trump obliged.


In contrast to the aforementioned photos, Trump isn't seen with any victims in a long embrace or even a handshake but he is pretty visible when he reaches for a roll of paper towel and shoots it in the air for anyone, really, to catch. Some rolls were caught by the spectators while a few simply landed on the floor, presumably by the hurricane victims who found such a gesture mildly peculiar.
But it wasn't just Trump playing basketball with paper towel rolls that infuriated people during his Puerto Rico. The president's selection of words for the Americans hit by Hurricane Maria was also criticized by observers. Paraphrasing won't do justice to what Trump actually said; his actual words are worth reading.

"Every death is a horror," Trump said, "but if you look at a real catastrophe like Katrina, and you look at the tremendous — hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that died, and you look at what happened here, with really a storm that was just totally overpowering, nobody's ever seen anything like this."

Trump didn't stop there and went on to say, "What is your death count as of this moment? Seventeen? Sixteen people certified, 16 people versus in the thousands. You can be very proud of all of your people and all of our people working together. Sixteen versus literally thousands of people. You can be very proud. Everybody around this table and everybody watching can really be very proud of what's taken place in Puerto Rico."
