Trump Embarrasses Himself (And The U.S.) In Puerto Rico

From Ted McLaughlin at jobsanger:

He started out by chiding the people of Puerto Rico for throwing the U.S. budget out of whack. WTF!!! I don’t know if that was a joke, or just stupidity — but it was the wrong thing to say, at the wrong time, and to the wrong people. Puerto Rico had no control over their being hit by two hurricanes in about a week.

Then he compared the disaster in Puerto Rico to “a real catastrophe like Katrina” — comparing the death tolls of each. Again, the wrong thing to say, at the wrong time, and to the wrong people. The American citizens trying to survive their island’s disaster don’t need to be told that other disasters were worse — they need help, and they need it desperately. And many parts of the island have still had no help at all, and when help reaches them, the death toll is sure to rise.

Those gaffes would have been bad enough, but Trump wasn’t done.
