On Saturday afternoon, President Donald Trump made his second trip to Houston, TX in a week, perhaps hoping for a “do over” on his first visit, at which his performance was so desultory and lackluster that it was entirely overshadowed by his wife’s choice of shoes for the outing.

On his second visit, Trump touched actual Texas children, handed out styrofoam containers of food — but not without getting in a dig at the media — and did his best to play the role of a strong and competent leader who wouldn’t rack up a perfect score on the “Are You a Sociopath?” test.

And it would have worked, too, if he hadn’t stopped on the way out the door to tell everyone huddled in the shelter with the few meager belongings they have that aren’t soaked in mud, poop and toxic chemicals to “Have a good time.”

1. not lbn nt

[Eliot Rosewater]

2. Nobody's president, election stolen, HRC won by millions of votes

at least 5 million if the GRU doesnt successfully hack the voting system in very specific states.

This is a coup, we never talk about that anymore

[C Moon]

8. Yes!

[Alice11111]

13. Yeah, but how do we stop it? They have gotten better since 2000

They change tactics. They are PROUD cheaters. They think of it as self defence. I think we may have to get used to the scumbag, which, in his case, is elevating my real opinion, being the Prez. It's day 227 or something.

Like most here, I have written letters, called, marched, begged for votes, raised money for Senate campaigns (we got 2, TG ), given all the money I could, but the vapid liar, p grabber is still Prez.

[tblue37]

3. He also told reporters that everyone at the shelter was "doing great," and that he saw

"a lot of happiness" there!

I don't think so.

[flibbitygiblets]

4. Well, they all got free food and a place to stay rent-free...so...

That's what minorities and the poor want, right? MAGA accomplished!

Now for a quick round of golf, and off to work on those tax cuts!

[lunasun]

6. You know Trump meant have a good time with all the free stuff maybe better

than stuff you had at the home that's underwater.
That's how all trumpers think not that people just want to be in thier home with thier own stuff instead of landing in a shelter needing a handout .

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

5. We have a total fucking asshole "running" the country.

Never thought I'd see the day in my lifetime, after all the progress we've made toward people trying to be just a bit more decent. Which has caused this backlash and desire by a bunch of creeps to have one of their own in the White House so they can pretend it's OK to be selfish, bigoted jerks. So depressing.

[RainCaster]

15. That's spelled "ruining"

This moron had been hell-bent to destroy everything Obama did, no matter how much it ducks up the country.

[Snackshack]

7. Reminds me of...

Barbara Bush saying Katrina victim were doing better off in the shelters after losing all they had.

[kairos12]

9. Remember that.

[sprinkleeninow]

20. Precisely what just came to mind

when Katrina people were sheltered in TX.
What crass hurtful digs. Intentional.

Please be over soon.

[shanny]

26. "...working very well for them."

Puts the lie to tRump not really being a Republican, doesn't it?

[underpants]

28. Yep. Babs full quote

Almost everyone I’ve talked to says, ‘We’re going to move to Houston.’ What I’m hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas. Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality.
And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway, so this, this is working very well for them.

[Moral Compass]

10. That comment reminds of Barbara Bush

No one seems to have brought this up yet...but this particular comment very much echoes Barbara Bush's comments during the Katrina evacuation about the mega center in Houston that in thousands.

There is a certain base cluelessness that only those born rich can have. They can look on these poor unfortunates and think that this is a great result.

As President Bush battled criticism over the response to Hurricane Katrina, his mother declared it a success for evacuees who "were underprivileged anyway," saying on Monday that many of the poor people she had seen while touring a Houston relocation site were faring better than before the storm hit.

"What I'm hearing, which is sort of scary, is they all want to stay in Texas," Barbara Bush said in an interview on Monday with the radio program "Marketplace." "Everyone is so overwhelmed by the hospitality."

"And so many of the people in the arena here, you know, were underprivileged anyway," she said, "so this is working very well for them." (This is clipped from the New York Times article from September 7, 2005)

It is not so much cruelty or heartlessness so much as the inability to relate because of a total lack of having experienced any sort of deprivation in their lives.

As Nick from The Great Gatsby said--the rich are not like you or me.

[Alice11111]

14. Good quote reminder.They lack empathy, except for their owm

[raven mad]

11. He has gone way over the edge. No sense of reality whatsoever.

[Hieronymus]

12. Trump is removed from reality, totally.

[grantcart]

16. "Have fun at funerals".

[Kath2]

17. Totally out of touch.

Disengaged. He has no f*cking idea what is right in front of him.

[DFW]

18. Trump is so removed from reality, he probably meant it

Other instances of when Trump might be expected to tell victims to have a good time:

Scene of a traffic accident with dead and injured

Hospices

Bankruptcy proceedings of foreclosed newly homeless

Visits to Darfur or drought-stricken parts of Ethiopia

Addressing Pacific Islanders or coastal Inuit whose homes just slipped beneath the water permanently

The poisoned of Houston when he goes back there in ten days.

Addressing friends, relatives and immediate family of people who had just perished in an airline crash

and countless others, no doubt.

19. Trumps Impeachment

HAVE A GREAT TIME IDIOT, WE'LL ALL BE CELEBRATING.[

[Javaman]

21. he was upstaged by pence. that's all this is about. ego. period.

[mdbl]

22. what can one say other than...

[heaven05]

23. such an EVIL POS

[riversedge]

24. you too donny. BTW-your combover looked horrible at the center.

[justgamma]

25. And "heck of a job" Brownie

explained to the Senate committee why he sent truckloads of ice to Maine instead of New Orleans during Katrina. He " didn't think they needed ice to cool their beers." I guess he didn't know that ice turns into much needed water. I'm surprised more wasn't made of his answer, because I was outraged that he thought it was one big party down there.

[livetohike]

27. "Best regards" everybody! "Have a nice day!" Just when you

think he couldn't possibly be more inappropriate or repulsive, there he goes.

[Chemisse]
