Is it wrong to hope that they take him out in a boat to view the damage and get chased by a swarm of snakes and alligators and he's shown on TV screaming like a banshee? fire ants

Is it wrong to hope that they take him out in a boat to view the damage and get chased by a swarm of snakes and alligators and he's shown on TV screaming like a banshee? fire ants I was just reading an article about fire ants. I'm amazed at their intelligence and how they are able to survive. Mind you, wish the storm would eliminate the bastards but wow they are resiliant!

BuzzFeed.....
"At his first briefing in Texas, Trump thanks FEMA Director William Brock Long and says he’s come “very famous on television” due to Harvey."
Josh Dawsey...
"What a crowd, what a crowd," Trump said outside the fire station in Corpus Christi."
I believe we can lay to rest the notion that trump can become presidential once and for all.

omg, really? it TRULY IS the reality-shit-show Presidency, isn't it?
Everything is all about ratings, winning, and popularity to him, so he thinks everyone else is the same way. He makes me SICK.

The FLOTUS did change from her stilettos to:
Mrs. Trump boarded wearing a green jacket, slacks and stilettos — attire which was widely noted on social media. She emerged from the plane in Corpus Christi wearing a white jacket, a white baseball cap emblazoned with “FLOTUS” and white tennis shoes. Mr. Trump did not change clothes en route. He wore leather boots, khakis and a white collared shirt with a windbreaker bearing a presidential seal; his white baseball cap read “USA.”

If Donald Trump was interred in a cemetery chock-full of the most influential statesmen, scientists, writers, thinkers, and humanitarians of modern history, he would probably be tickled pink if his gravestone read: Donald Trump Really Famous on TV It's becoming increasingly clear that he believes this is the highest echelon one can attain in life. -------- (I was dictating this and "interred" came out as "in turd." LOL.)

I can guarantee that NONE of these emergency management personnel care one iota about being famous. In fact, it's really the last thing they would want, because it would mean a disaster is occurring, and they're not in the EM business to get publicity. They're involved for one reason and one reason only - to save lives.

Well tiny hands was really on a roll in October 2012. So I take it we can apply this sentiment to president tiny hands today in Texas...
"Not only giving out money, but Obama will be seen today standing in water and rain like he is a real President --- don't fall for it."
Trust me, today in 2017 we won't fall for it.

From Politico....
"Wednesday’s speech in Springfield, Mo., is being built around the sale of tax reform as a populist policy politi.co/2vpvNTz"
Since when can one describe tax cuts for corporations and the wealthy a "populist policy"?

From Reuters....
"One of the things that is happening is you're purchasing large amounts of our great F-18 aircraft from Boeing and it's one of the great planes, the great fighter jets," Trump said on Monday at a news conference with his Finnish counterpart in the White House.
Niinisto, who was standing next to Trump, looked surprised but did not follow up on the comment. He later denied the deal with Boeing on his Twitter account and on Tuesday in Washington.
"It seems that on the sale side, past decisions and hopes about future decisions have mixed ... The purchase is just starting, and that is very clear here," Niinisto told Finnish reporters.
Helsinki is expected to request that European and U.S. planemakers provide quotations for new jets in 2018, with a final decision made in the early 2020s.
A government working group has listed possible candidates as Saab's (SAABb.ST) Jas Gripen, Dassault Aviation’s (AVMD.PA) Rafale, Boeing’s Super Hornet, Lockheed Martin’s (LMT.N) F-35 and the Eurofighter, made by Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain."
Everytime trump does something like this it makes him and this country look stupid.

From Time ...., "Trump cybersecurity advisors resign, citing 'insufficient attention' to looming threats" Oh goody, things just keep getting better and better with him as president. 🚫 MAGA! With the number of advisors who resign, and the positions that are left open, it will soon be: White House, party of Trump.

Today Show....
"Pastor Joel Osteen speaks out after Harvey: 'The city didn't ask us to become a shelter' on.today.com/2vECz3W"
How lame is that? Does this mean if he saw a man drowning he would just stand there until the man asked for help?
What a hypothetical putz.

"In Texas, President Donald Trump spent far more time in the air than on the ground, getting the visuals he wanted politi.co/2grJYRC"
I'm not surprised. There wasn't really any place for him to go without getting in the way. It would have been better if he had waited until he , as president, could actually visit the devastation. It would have meant more in the long run.

Ivanka trump...
"We must reform our tax code so that all Americans can succeed in our modern economy & achieve the American Dream! #TaxReform"
Well Ivanka the first thing that needs to be done before "all Americans can succeed in our modern economy & achieve the American Dream" your old man has got to stop lying to the American People about jobs that aren't coming back and really, not just saying, helping the workforce to prepare for the future jobs some that are already making an appearance. Without jobs the American People can't take advantage of this tax codes favoring the rich and businesses.

Shouldn't tax codes be put on the back burner? We have a massive national disaster, north Korea ramping up, and he's talking about crowd size and taxes for the rich.

My news is dominated with Harvey relief efforts, as it should, but I am truly surprised we haven't heard more about NK shooting a missile right over Japan. They are an American ally, and we have military bases there. And NK has threatened that it was practice for Guam. And I know NK does a lot of saber rattling, but at what point do we stop saying, "Aw shucks! He didn't really mean it this time" when there are missiles flying over our allies?

He only cares about what us going to make him get ratings and exposure as that is his unit of measure-- He is an opportunist. He's going to go with whatever keeps him front and center, then work on things that are not so popular behind the fray so that he can hide all that business behind the tragedy or other "fire of the day". He's been itching for something to happen--war in Afghanistan, nuclear middle fight with North Korea, hurricane...---whatever will help elevate his ego. With the hurricane devastation, he was only concerned about ratings, crowd size, that it was the "biggest and best in history", wishing "good luck" to those about to be bombarded. I hate him.

From Ken Dilanian....
"New: Manafort notes from June 2016 Trump Tower meeting contained references to "donations" and "RNC," sources tell NBC News."
As someone pointed out the meeting was supposedly about adoptions. I'm beginning to understand why Manafort's House was raided by the FBI.

so glad Barbie doll Trump is looking out for female empowerment
White House officials blocked an Obama-era rule designed to help close the wage gap. Ivanka Trump, who has been an outspoken supporter of women's equality in the workforce, supported the move.
Guess her route to pay equality only matters if your born a millionairess, or marry a sugar daddy
