Jaysus fcuk, this guy: Trump dedicates golf trophy to Puerto Rico Hurricane victims - NZ Herald
'Let them eat cake...'
Using tweets to undercut his Sec of State.............
President Trump, not for the first time, publicly contradicted his chief diplomat on a major foreign policy issue Sunday, saying via Twitter that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was “wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man.”
Using his nickname for North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, and apparently warning again of a U.S. military response to its escalating nuclear threat, Trump advised, “Save your energy, Rex, we’ll do what has to be done.”
He may as well resign, pretty clear where he stands.

Quelle surprise.... wrongway is wrong. Again.
You are Fake News.
Use your big-boy words, Slick.
What's your point?
Got a post from my mate in San Juan last night, he's just managed to find his father after 11 days without any contact! What a relief.
Meanwhile:
And further to longface's dismal bullshit, they are all thankful for the mayor being out leading the effort, and there has been a mayor's office rep at every FEMA meeting.The Trump administration went into a full court press on Sunday to congratulate itself on what an excellent job it has done in Puerto Rico, but on Sunday night, the Pentagon pricked the White House’s bubble with an urgent bulletin that half the people in the U.S. territory are still without access to clean water and the situation is steadily worsening.
Meanwhile, orange cunto is on the golf course "dedicating" some trophy to the people of Puerto Rico.
Thankfully someone was there to shout "You don't give a shit about Puerto Rico!".
Well done that man.
The Pentagon said on Sunday that the situation in Puerto Rico is getting worse as water supplies dwindle, even as the Trump administration has gone into overdrive on its public relations effort to convince the world that it is not neglecting the beleaguered U.S. territory.
The Hill said that the Department of Defense released an urgent press bulletin stating that 45 percent of the island’s population are still without water.
“Forty-five percent of customers have access to drinking water. Ninety-five percent of customers remain without power; power has been restored to San Juan airport and marine terminals,” the statement said.
Trump and his cabinet members have insisted repeatedly that the federal effort to bring relief to the island is going well and “getting great reviews.” They have called people who disagree with them “politically motivated ingrates” and said that Puerto Ricans are too lazy to help themselves.
so what's your point Harry, if you have any
Well, I suppose if the orange wanker filled the trophy with clean water and sent it to them it would be far more appreciated than an empty vessel sitting in a rich person's trophy room.

Announcement: Donald Trump is no longer the president of the United States
Oh sure, he has the title and he has the bully pulpit – from which he’s bullying everyone from NBA players to people protesting white supremacists to DACA kids.
But he’s not actively governing the United States. That work is happening elsewhere – in Congress, the courts, the Fed, the career civil service, lobbyists, and in the states. Or it’s not happening at all.
It’s not just that Trump lost the epic battle to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. Trump never understood the Affordable Care Act to begin with, and played no part in developing Republican alternatives.
The budget Trump submitted to Congress in March was dead on arrival. House Republicans ignored Trump’s request for $54 billion in cuts to departments and agencies and decided instead to cut non-defense spending by just $5 billion, and explode the defense budget.
The 9-page tax plan congressional Republicans and Trump unveiled last week only vaguely resembles Trump’s original tax proposal from April, and all the important decisions have been left to the tax-writing committees of Congress.
Trump’s relations with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan have become so strained they have no interest in looping him into policies before they have to.
Meanwhile, Trump has run out of Obama executive orders he can declare void. Major regulations, such as the EPA’s Clean Power Plan, can’t just be repealed. They have to go through a legal process that could take years.
Trump doesn’t seem to be aware of this. He told a cheering crowd in Alabama recently that he had ended the Clean Power Plan by executive order. “Did you see what I did to that? Boom, gone.”
Nope. The EPA will soon reveal its strategy for reversing the Plan, but whatever it is, environmental groups are almost certain to appeal it in the courts. Big businesses and utilities, fearing that the courts may rule against the administration, are lobbying the EPA to come up with a replacement rather than try to eliminate the Plan altogether.
Although General John Kelly has reduced White House chaos somewhat, the firings and shakeups are unremitting.
Trump’s Cabinet secretaries don’t seem to have a clue. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos still wants to spend taxpayer money on for-profit schools and colleges that cheat their students. Won’t happen. The EPA’s Scott Pruitt is trying to strip the agency of scientists. Another brainless scheme.
Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin still has no idea how to deal with Congress. He tried to persuade Republican House members to support Trump’s budget deal with the Democrats by asking them to do it “for me.”
Health and Human Service Secretary Tom Price wasn’t fired for his ethical breaches. If ethics were the criteria, most of the Trump administration would be gone. Price broke Trump’s cardinal rule, which was never to get bad headlines for Trump.
Top echelons of departments and agencies are still empty. Trump has said “in many cases, we don’t want to fill those jobs,” which means decisions are being made by career civil servants and industry lobbyists.
By the start of September, more than a third of the leadership positions at the Federal Emergency Management Agency were still vacant. Not a good way to begin hurricane season. Puerto Rico, anyone?
As of mid-September, out of 599 key government positions that require Senate confirmation, Trump had made only 159 nominations, according to The Washington Post. Trump had yet to submit nominations for 320 positions.
Trump’s political clout is waning among Republicans. He couldn’t even get his pick elected to a Senate primary in Alabama, a state bulging with Trump voters.
Business leaders have deserted him over his remarks over Charlottesville. NFL owners have turned on him over his remarks about players. Tom Brady, who once called Trump “a good friend,” now calls him “divisive” and “wrong.”
Don’t get me wrong. Trump is still a dangerous showman and conman – tweeting condemnations of critics and ranting before friendly crowds at his never-ending campaign rallies. He continues to fuel bigotry and meanness. He has reduced America’s standing in the world. His outbursts could start a nuclear war.
But when it comes to the actual work of governing America, Trump is becoming utterly and completely irrelevant.

Imagine if he was as vociferous in his Tweeted condemnation of the Los Vegas shooting as he has been of NFL players of the mayor of San Juan. But no.Originally Posted by bsnub
This is where his own divisiveness fails him. In a time of tragedy he can't speak for the nation.
Fixed that one point in a good, in-a-nutshell article.
Why does he do these rallies? On tax-payer funds, and when he should be doing his job, not rallying for cheers from rednecks so as to feel good about himself.
I wonder how much he's negotiated with Melania to forestall the divorce until after his presidency. She must hate him.
Wasn't she - in a spectacular display of irony - going to make cyber-bullying her focus and cause celebre during her time in the White House?
Whatever happened with that (if anything)?
What financial deadlines does Trump need to meet before the civil service implodes?
He is at odds with his own political appointees, his own party, and with the rest of the world on foreign affairs.
Will his global allies stay with him as long as aid continues to pour in?
Heart of Gold and a Knob of butter.
