Trump: Drought-stricken Dakotas better off than Harvey flood victims

Source: The Hill

President Trump said the drought-stricken Dakotas are “better off” than cities flooded by Hurricane Harvey last month, and that his administration will make the drought there "go away."

“I know you have a little bit of a drought. They had the opposite, believe me,” Trump said during a tax reform speech in Mandan, North Dakota.

“You’re better off. You are better off, they had the absolute opposite.”

Trump also said he was surprised that droughts could happen "this far north."

“We’re doing everything we can but you have a very serious drought. I just said to the governor, I didn’t know you had droughts this far north. Guess what: you have them,” he said.

Donny is so far out of his skill set and it is disgraceful. Notice he did his stand up two bit show at a Oil Tank Farm. Interesting optics in the background. BTW,Donnie,your idol Andrew Jackson had most of those Mandan original inhabitants chased from their land.

Sorry righty-whitey, the only N-Word to ever occupy the white house is your guy the Dumpster Fire.

And before anyone goes off on me, I use the N-word to relate to someone as an ignorant motherf---r, and anyone of any race can be an ignorant motherf---r.

In the middle of the worst drought in Texas history, our governor held a prayer meeting calling for god to bring us rain. We got the worst fire season in state history instead.

They can't breathe for the smoke. It's hard to say that's better than drowning. Either way you can't breathe.
