How would you like to be shot up by a machine gun and have the President TWEET his condolences? How WARM of him.

    What do you want him to do? 
    He sent 10000 workers, he had FEMA supplies ready to go. He waived the Johnson act (Not really needed as the supplies were there) 

    Just what can be done that he has not done?
    You care that he is golfing...I don't.  And I didn't care about Obama or any other President golfing either.

    This is so simple minded   I am going to pass.  You don't deserve an answer.  This is a lie and you are spreading nonsense.

    And golfing is not the issue.  His message IS the issue.

    Then why do you keep referring to Obama and his golfing.  Didn't you just post a photo of him golfing on top of a car?

    Thick as a brick. You just don't get it. I don't know if it's a mental block or sheer stubbornness but you just don't get it. But I'll give you a clue. It's not about golf.

    So you have nothing that he should do that he has not.

    He can avoid telling the victims to "Have a good time while living in the ruins of their homes."

    So all you are worried about is he said something wrong or without tact.....I perfer issues. He sent military,  he was ready to authorize FEMA before storm....etc

    But by all means lets worry about that he said something not PC....

    If all he did was "misspeak," or even if I could attribute what he did say as a simple lack of proper social behavior, what you call PC is a totally inaccurate characterization of his comments and they would still be a problem regardless. 

    But since what he says when he speaks in such situations is an accurate gauge of how disconnected and insulated Trump is from what many normal human beings have to endure in their lives---it shows that he is is incapable of the necessary empathy that would provide the required and appropriate sense of urgency to deal with their problems in a useful way.

    I mean he "joked" that he considers Puerto Rico to be totally insensitive for allowing itself to suffer hurricane damage because "it really messed with the (my) budget."

    Again the actions he took we proper and timely...
    I don't care what he said or how he said it. It was established before the election that he does not act or talk like a politican. And as long as his actions are correct...it is all good to me.

    On the contrary, he is precisely a politician---"a person who acts in a manipulative and devious way, typically to gain advancement within an organization."  

    What we needed was someone who had taken a class in government somewhere in his past.

    You stop at the first level of interest and never go any further.

    First level of inference---Such people remove the plug from the boat while it's on plane, and since no water comes in then, they conclude that the plug is a functionless item and unessential to the boat. 

    Second level of inference---They at least try it again while the boat is not on plane and realize that when they stopped at the first level of inference.  they actually assured that disaster will strike.

    Most politicians know how and must follow the PC rules. Trump made it clear from the start he says what he wants, how he wants and that is anything but typical  for a politican.  

    Gov class or not...he knows what regulations and tax incentives will continue to help create jobs. UE rate is lowest in a decade.

    We're talking about simple human interaction between someone who has not suffered a tragedy and someone who has.  It is not, as I said, a simple issue of PC.

    No, he doesn't know what regulations and tax incentives will create or continue to create jobs.  Even Warren Buffett disagrees with him on the need for a business tax cut.

    Trump uses bankruptcy to get him out of his previous stupid decisions.  Trumps risks are shouldered by the people who trusted him---and he has demonstrated that loyalty is a one way street.

    Density of being is a good thing, but I'm think a different kind of density is involved here---with and about Trump .

    If tax cuts don't work, why does NY (liberal, blue NY) use tax cuts as a way to draw new businesses from other states? 

    Warren Buffett has learned to say "Raise taxes on the rich, we can afford it" and it keeps the media/liberals happy with him.

    Because the situation is a zero sum game.  One states gain is another states loss.

    Same with his tax cuts---take from the tax breaks from the individuals and give them to the corporations. Corporations will not increase hiring unless the demand for their product is there and the economy of scale to support the new hiring is both worthwhile and available.

    I feel like I am trying to explain tensor analysis in n-dimensional space to someone who understands only addition and subtraction.  I had this same problem when challenging your actions when moderating this site.

    I've tried, but I sometimes remember too late for my own good that the human intellect cannot be put in possession of its object by some exterior agent that takes it there.

    I didn't ask and don't need you to explain anything to me. 
    I know tax cut worked under Kennedy and under Reagan. 
    I know from just what little Trump has been able to do without Congress the unemployment rate is already lower than it was ever under Obama.

    If you have any problems with moderation, you are always free to discuss it with JA...she is the boss.

    No you didn't ask, but I would be interested to take a poll as to where you need me (or at least somebody, perhaps even anybody) to explain some pretty basic stuff to you.

    My taxes increased under Reagan and a number of my eventual benefits were cut---glad you fully understand economics and fiscal policy so well.

    Look at the yearly unemployment rate from 2010 through 2016.  Dropped from 10% to 4.7% and Trump wasn't even in office until 2017---that's over 50%. And yet you think that the current unemployment rate is all Trumps doing.  Sheesh.

    Yes, I do have a problem with your moderation.  I will not discuss it with JA because I fully expect her to support her internal client---which is you.
    Besides, I pretty well know how to avoid your interference with anything I might choose to post.

    It is rather easy to keep from being moderated here. 

    Ues, when Obama was sworn in UE was 4.7% it then climbed to 10%....and when Trump was swornin it was almost back to down to where ot was at the beginning of his term at 4.8%......Trump has it down to 4.4%.  And is usually outperforming jobs expectations. Yes I give Trump credit for that.

    It disappeared.

    It is the youtube video of John Oliver's tape of Trump in Puerto Rico bragging about how well the death thing went.  Yes, there were deaths, but we did such a great job of handling that.

    He said that.

    He was trying to get a pat on the back about how great he did.

    HE IS TOTALLY HATED IN PUERTO RICO.

    He sent them a TROPHY.  ??? WHO DOES THAT?  

    A TOTAL Screwball

    Here it is.

    This is FROM THE MOUTH OF TRUMP:

    My 2, only you would say such inanity.

    You have a disaster and I respond with some old trophy I won.  Can you see the lack of socialization and the inappropriateness of the gesture?   It's like saying, let's see what I have in my closet I don't need, I'll send that as an afterthought and everyone will pee in delight because that piece of CRAP is from ME. 

    My 2, it would have been MUCH better.  FAR.FAR FARbetter had he remained SILENT.

    PLEASE LISTEN TO LYRICAL's tape and defend that.  And by the way?  Don't ever do that nonsense again with me telling me it is illegal to own guns in Chicago.  LIE.

    Perhaps he should hold a séance and express his condolences to each decedent personally? He could start out with an Ouija Board and if that didn't work he could have an actual "large" come into the White House to officiate. Where is John Edwards when you need him? (I would have said medium but for Mr. Trump it would have to be at least a "large".) Or was that Nancy Reagan that did that kind of stuff?

    That's right. There is no answer then.  Like maybe he should actually do something to help the cause besides open his pie hole and turn the deaths into a personal victory.

    You know?  A lot of people died, but it was death in a really really amazingly orgainzed manner.

    I am paraphrasing this TOTAL JACKASS.  Do not defend this.

    Here is who you are defending from his own STUPID mouth.

    No answer to what? Your question is ridiculous, yet another of your baseless attacks on the President. I was merely pointing that out.
