Did you notice how the narcissist cancelled his trip to Poland to, "monitor the hurricane"?
It is just crap, I tell you. Mar-a-logo is in the path of the hurricane, so that is the ONLY reason he is "monitoring" it and canceling his Poland trip.

(12,712 posts)There is another factor that I am monitoring. He is not looking or sounding well, mentally or physically.
Now, it could be jet lag from the trip, too much pressure and energy expended on spinning the web of lies and agitprop, but time will tell. Either he is burning out, or burning up, or the meds are off somehow and need adjusting.
I have no compunction about wanting to see him decline rapidly in that sense. None.

(53,410 posts)he cares about his image during a catastrophic weather occurrence.
Losing some of the support from Fox is scary. His base watch Fox, and if Fox says something truthful about him his base might believe it! He better scramble and act like he cares about something.
Im sure he already has the list of things he can claim were destroyed by the hurricane so he can get his hands on FEMA money.

(32,061 posts)The G7 trip wore him out. He's obviously unhealthy and in terrible physical shape, and probably abusing one or more substances besides food. No doubt all that travel, and the activities associated with it, take a toll on his ability to function. He's also terrified about what kind of financial hit he will take if the hurricane damages his dumps in Florida, especially since it will be even more difficult for him to scam money out of it with the entire country watching him. I'm sure he's just thrilled to have an excuse to stay home and be the huge, nasty lump of nothing that he is. All he really wants to do is hole up and watch his "shows," tweet, and stuff himself with fast food. Looks like that's what he'll be doing this weekend.

(54,047 posts)Like a sitting US president wouldn't have the ability to monitor the weather in Florida from Poland?
If it's in the middle of a category 3 hurricane, there's no way Trump is going wasting away in Mar-a-Lagoville anyhow. It's a lame excuse no one but a Trumpanzee voter would believe (or no one but a Fox Noise talking head would state with a straight face)

(253 posts)Recall, if you will, the Greenland tempest, followed by the absurd decision of Trump to use the Danish PMs use of that absurd word as a pretext for cancelling his state visit to Denmark. There was a perfectly credible theory that Trump was concerned about the expected adulation of Barack Obama, and that he decided not to go to Denmark to reduce the attention that Obamas will get. Now Trump decides not to go to Poland on the Baltic littoral (indeed Poland is almost next door to Denmark on that littoral) - for the exactly the same reason. Trump in Poland would just heighten the enthusiasm and increase the crowds out to honor a REAL US president. Trump hates that idea. So Pence goes.

Thought I heard someone on MSNBC mention that. Guess that would be an awkward meeting now, what with the threat of cutting $250M in aid to Ukraine.

Thing 1: Everyone is right. He doesn't want to head back to Europe - at all.
Thing 2: He's DIVING in favorability. Florida is rich with voters. He will go OVERBOARD on "taking care of Florida" all in the name of "LOOK AT ME!!! I'M DOING SOMETHING!! Fake news never covers it!!"

(13,935 posts)... could turn his bed bug infested motel dumps back into five star accommodations if fictitious and bogus hurricane insurance claims are fraudulently filed to rake in the big bucks.
Fatten up the trDump coffers by way of bogus insurance damage claims are Dawnald's specialty.

(23,282 posts)He'd claim the hurricane brought bedbugs (blown in from Puerto Rico), so he'd use FEMA funds to fumigate, re-landscape, etc. If FEMA has money left over after building his wall, that is.

NewJeffCT
(56,827 posts)that since Putin is no longer going to Poland, Trump decided to not go as well.
Maybe Putin realized that Trump needed to stay behind politically?

(51,308 posts)It makes sense. He would face criticism if he left with a storm of this magnitude approaching.
And on the skeptical side, its a swing state. He has no choice really.
