Donald Trump rages at cable news for covering Hurricane Ida 'all night long'

Speaking to the Todd Starnes show, Trump whined that the networks should be covering the crisis in Afghanistan, which the networks have been covering non-stop for the past week.

"Because Afghanistan is not even something that can be discussed in a rational way," Trump said. "The level of stupidity — and we had a great agreement. And Biden admitted the other day, he made a mistake because they didn't want him to say that no people have been killed since this agreement was signed."

And he's no longer in a position to throw rolls of paper towels to hurricane victims (now he'd have to pay for them himself). He also knows Biden will get good press for responding appropriately to the disaster, both by providing plenty of government aid quickly and by behaving compassionately on a personal level.

We never heard his conversation with the Taliban, nobody did. we never saw transcript, or even a read-out. And we know he makes up the alternative facts to fit whatever is going on in his poor little head. One of these journalist who is bashing Biden should try and get TFG to prove he made this deal, and it’s what he said it was

The damage he's caused. He loves watching reports of the damage his plan has caused because the pain and suffering is the point.

Fuck that guy.

suffered one, being in poor shape physically, as well a poor diet. Maybe with all of these other 'conservative' radio announcers, etc. that are dying seemingly right and left, his turn will eventually get here?

If they're talking about the hurricane, there's no chance they'll get around to discussing the actual facts about the Afghanistan withdrawal, and how his actions were ultimately responsible for the chaos, and to the deaths of 13 US servicemen and women, and dozens and dozens of Afghan civilians.
