Nicole Wallace was pretty brutal in her first segment about Trump and PR... She also talked about a WH source she spoke to saying Trump had lost interest in hurricanes by the time it hit PR and he also lost interest because PR doesn't hold any electoral power for him... WTF???

the only thing that matters to Trump is reelection in 2020. We are in the middle of a campaign, and everything he does, says and tweets is about his brand and his candidacy again.

Nothing else matters to him.

He wants that eight years - because all "great" and "revered" presidents who lived long enough got eight years.

but now he won't get there until tomorrow. Still, not a surprise. The murders in Las Vegas were a tremendously valuable distraction from the plight of Americans in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands for the Republican leadership. They couldn't foresee it and made the horrible mistake of scheduling a visit to PR, but this murderous gift from what they probably considered the god on their side provided an excuse to hotfoot attention away from Puerto Rico and shift the big spotlight on Las Vegas's unneedy dead instead.

If supernatural forces were involved, it'd have to be Satan, of course, but in any case both news media and social, including DU, switched virtually all attention to Las Vegas as if...a switch had been switched. The day before yesterday someone who was probably vrtually dehydrating from all the virtual tears dripped all over DU actually called me evil (!) for not iconizing San Juan's mayor. The next day? Trump wins, big.

"Puerto Rico has thrown our budget a little out of whack,..." But not a penny more than you can avoid, bastards.

It was all the brown people suffering he couldn't handle. The truth made him look like the insufferable asshole he is.

Trump has no such ability for introspection. He probably was upset about what assholes the Puerto Rican victims were for asking for more t-shirts and paper towels.

It is 75% white.

Disturbing to continue to see this on DU.

Though the color or race of anyone anywhere should not matter.
