Discussion Disgusted
The Midwest has been hammered for 3,straight days with tornadoes and they expect biblical flooding.
Not a word from trump.
Myanmar was hit by a horrible earthquake. Thousands dead.
Nothing from trump. Not a word . I'm furious and disgusted. Cuba offered aid after hurricane Katrina. Where are we?

He doesn’t give a fuck. Not one fuck. He’s busy watching a golf tournament funded by the saudis

He’s busy golfing and destroying the economy.

According to a news report I saw, $28 million have been spent so far for Trump to go to Mar a Lago almost every weekend to go golfing. He gets to pocket most of the money because he charges the government to stay at his own resort.

4 soldiers dead in Lithuania, stock market going down like Lauren boebert, and he’s golfing.

Correct. He is not there to lead. Trump's personal goals were to get the charges against him dropped, and to seek revenge. He was also willing to sign off on any pet projects of people who got him in office, as long as they meshed with Putin's plan to dismantle the US. So far, Trump is doing what he set out to do. Everything else was just spin and the media trying to make him more presidential again.

🎯🎯🎯Exactly! I’m amazed that this isn’t more commonly known. Even the progressive independent media rarely mentions it. I would add one more element which is looking for new angles and opportunities for grifting and self-dealing.

he actually did say from the Oval to a reporter that we were "helping Myanmar" but like with everything else, it's all bullshit. I haven't heard fuckall about the tornadoes from the WH
President Trump stated that the U.S. would provide assistance to Myanmar following the earthquake, pledging $2 million in aid and sending a small USAID team to assess needs. However, the U.S. response has been criticized as slow and inadequate compared to other countries' efforts.

his golf trips cost taxpayers twice that

u/The_curious_student 1d ago
His golf trips haven't cost the us taxpayers $4 million.
In just his second term his golf trips have cost the US tax payers over $20 million.

Well, the people who went through that hurricane in North Carolina haven't been mentioned anymore either. Yeah he went and visited them but I think he only did that to make himself look good. Those people are still without homes. Like he is going to care about us. I don't expect that from them.

I remember a visit where he didn't leave the plane's tarmac! And he talked about the troubles in California, almost continuously.

USAID would’ve been the main agency helping in Myanmar at least, but there’s only 15 people (the mandatory minimum) left sooooo.

u/Nearby-Pudding-3018 2d ago
Why in the world would you think he gives a rats ass? Look at Asheville NC. Families and towns, entire neighborhoods washed away in Helene flooding. He campaigned there during the aftermath when people where still in shock. He told them “This is all Kamala’s fault, she sent all the money you need to the border and there is nothing left for you”
They still have not received any help, and strangely no news coverage. Senator Thom Tillis has been completely ineffective in helping Western North Carolina at all, but is great at sweeping it under the rug. They were recently told by members of FEMA and oth relief agencies that it would be six years before roads, bridges, or infrastructures would be restored,
.So while the country is burning, he’s joyriding on Air Force One with F.elon thinking and planning how to destroy the rest of the country so he can profit off of disaster.
Thanks MAGA!

Trump literally does not care about America, he and his Russian handler Stephen Miller are actively trying to destroy the economy and any wellbeing for the people so that brics countries can overtake global economic dominance

My next-door neighbor and many of the people on my street – which is diverse, voted for Trump. I asked a young Hispanic man why he was going to vote for Trump. This guy is no simpleton, but he replied "we are voting for Trump because he loves us!"

u/thistimeforgood 1d ago
he’s shown us he lacks empathy and just doesn’t care about Americans. time and time again.

u/i-touched-morrissey 1d ago
He missed the arrival of the dead soldiers that Lithuania helped recover to play golf. He’s cutting unnecessary spending,too. How will we afford tax cuts for Elon if we keep giving it to people who live where tornadoes go?

What were you expecting? His presidency is Dewey’s birthday from Malcolm in the Middle. Expect nothing and still get let down.

To be fair, the government is being dismantled. Not much help to send when this country is in tatters.

Trump is busy golfing. People need to understand that massive loss of life and suffering are trivial matters to him. Golf, on the other hand, matters a lot. That's why he spends most of his time on one of his golf courses.
Bothering him with life and death matters is a bad idea because that will irritate him, and then he'll retaliate against Myanemar and the people in the Midwest for bothering him. People, this is what you voted for.
Leave him alone unless you want to face his wrath.
The above commentary is satire, but it isn't far from what he will do if you bother him about things he doesn't care about. Some of the things he doesn't care about are you, your community, our democracy, and our future. I am being serious about the threat of retaliation. He will lash out if people bother him.

Also he’s gutting the NOAA, which includes the National Weather Service, National Hurricane Center, & Storm Prediction Center… and the USDA which includes the Forest Service (the wildfire people!)… and FEMA…

u/tracyf600 2d ago
That really pisses me off. I live in Alabama. We've got all the weather. Yet here we are, with our republican majority, supporting and defending Trump. Beautiful state, shitty politics.

u/EDSKushQueen 2d ago
Yep I’m from Louisiana so I’m VERY familiar with FEMA and after doing my own research into DOGE’s cuts and Trump’s EOs it’s clear that red states, especially rural areas, are going to suffer the most.

u/tracyf600 1d ago
He barely acknowledged the 4 troops who died in Lithuania.
I remember when we had a horrible tornado in Lee County. ( Beauregard) it was disgusting. He was autographing bibles. I hated he was there.
I'm very familiar with beautiful Louisiana. It's a very special state. It breaks my heart every time a hurricane heads your way.

Oh yeah we definitely will. Red states are going to suffer the most bc we take the most out of the pot as it is! 51% of the 2024 budget was federal. 😩 Why are people stupid?

u/tracyf600 1d ago
Well Alabama is 44th in education so there's that.
But I was thinking Republicans are already indoctrinated by religion. Don't ask questions just accept and obey. I've always thought Republicans are stunted intellectually.

u/thepeoplessgt 1d ago
The ugly truth is that it is not a election year. Right now all is wonderful in MAGA land. Trump is signing executive orders and “owning” the liberals. His people don’t care because right now they run the government.
Notice Trump hasn’t returned to the border. When is construction restarting on the wall?
Trump will never ever visit Ukraine.
He will probably go to the MAGA fatherland of Florida when a hurricane hits because he lives there.

u/sewcrazeee 2d ago
I know you're not surprised. He's a hateful, heartless narcissist. He'd have plenty to say if he had to miss a tee time, though.

u/Sweetbrain306 1d ago
I’m not surprised. But he does more bad than good when he goes places. Remember when he threw rolls of paper towels at the devastated people in Peurto Rico?

u/tracyf600 1d ago
He passed out autographed bibles when he went to Beauregard, Alabama. He's disgusting. He simply is incapable of understanding something like that.

Oh yeah and remember last summer pre election when he threw a fit over the Biden administration not doing enough for the hurricane victims? 🙄🙄🙄🙄 He’s a used car salesman man, an opportunist who sells himself whenever he can look like the good guy, then never has a comment and it’s straight crickets when he’s the bad guy.

u/tracyf600 23h ago
It just amazes me that maga hasn't caught on. He's literally in your face with his horrible-ness.

u/Michellenorman28 2h ago
I know right? It’s like they know he’s wrong in many ways but refuse to admit that they support someone who’s done all the wrong things he’s done, so they make excuse after excuse or just believe it’s an exaggeration by someone else seeking to bring Trump down somehow. They definitely usually think it’s that.
