Trump: 'Nobody could have done what I’ve done for Puerto Rico with so little appreciation'

[Chosen Daughter]

HELLO, DONALD???????

Remember a guy named George W. and 9/11 and Katrina, etc., etc., etc.....???



The difference between him and you is that he wasn't a pre-pubescent whiner who needed never-ending praise.

Thank you.  Reality.  Trump needs attention bad.

[musiclady]

Thank you.  Reality.  Trump needs attention bad.

Just like a needy, badly behaved child at school.

Doesn't matter what kind of attention he gets, as long as he gets it, and everybody looks at him.

It's one of the sorriest things I've ever seen......

I know I'll get some eyerolls for this, but I'm pretty sure Donald Trump is legitimately a narcissist in the textbook sense. Does that automatically make him horrible and an incapable leader? No, of course not, but yeah, he definitely displays a lot of narcissistic characteristics.

Excuse me ... Donald Trump's little plea for credit is one of the sorriest things you've ever seen?

I just read the New Yorker article about Harvey Weinstein and it makes a case for the entire entertainment industry being corrupt.

The richest and most successful Black athletes refuse to respect our flag because they feel oppressed by America.

The Clinton's have multiple murder, rape and corruption in their past.

Barack Obama made a serious attempt to socialize America, permit terrorists into our country and made race relations worse than ever.

But, I guess I digress.

Trump has been a pretty decent president and has done well in many areas, including his instant help for Puerto Rico.

We all know Donald Trump has a childish streak and likes credit.

But, his plea for credit is about 100 degrees from the sorriest thing I ever saw.

This is the kind of honest dialogue I appreciate.  It makes further conversation, including disagreement, so much easier and more civil when you know the other person has a toe in reality and isn't trying to just bullshit you.

I seriously appreciate that. I strive to have intellectual integrity, hard as it may be sometimes.

Thank you.

It's downright impossible for me sometimes.

I don't even disagree with Trump necessarily it's just that he has handles these things with no tack and makes himself look like a crybaby in the process.

Only to his critics. His supporters are stuck to him like glue.

[RoosGirl]

LOL  The thought hadn't even crossed my mind.   

[roamer_1]

Yeah.

Yes, Trump's supporters are loyal, but I think the vast majority of people can make the distinction between some irritating and childish tweeting and the general actions of the Trump administration.

One almost gets the feeling that a lot of people here take Trump's tweets personally, as though he is embarrassing them.

I think we need to grow up as much as Trump does.

[aligncare]

Actually, the difference between a guy named George W. and President Trump is that guy rolled over and never fought back while the President won't roll over, does fight back, and gets the truth out.   

And, yes, I know ... fighting back is nasty business and isn't very nice.   

As Rush has been saying lately of Trump’s actions, this is what fighting back looks like, folks. It ain’t pretty but this is what it looks like.

No it isn't. He's blustery, petty, vindictive, and juvenile.
Battleship mouth and a rowboat ass.

Feel better, now?

[roamer_1]

Nope.
Your emperor is buck-ass nekkid. Somebody's got to say so.

[libertybele]

Thank you.  Reality.  Trump needs attention bad.

Reality?  Ok.  The reality is this country was hit by 3 major hurricanes within weeks of each other.  The catastrophic devastation to Texas, Florida and Peurto Rico is one for the record books.  Harvey (Cat 4) stalled over TX for days; the flooding alone was of historical proportions. Irma (Cat 5) sideswiped Puerto Rico  knocking out most of its power grid and ravaged the Keys and did damage to a lot of Florida cities and flooded areas up into the panhandle. Puerto Rico then took a direct hit from Maria (Cat 5) devastating the island.  The damage from these 3 major hurricanes was significantly catastrophic.  As I've stated previously, the restoration for some areas will take years.  There is no quick fix.

As an observation ... people in TX are still putting parts of their state back together as is FL.  They are considered red states and I don't hear a whole lot of moaning and complaining.  The complaint is coming from liberals in Puerto Rico.  Trump had every right to proclaim loudly that he did a great job in Puerto Rico that was unappreciated and did so AFTER he received so much flack from the despicable major of San Juan.

President Trump deserves a pat on the back and the major of San Juan deserves a slap in the face.

@aligncare

Which is bizarre and disturbing.  Americans don't "stick like glue" to personalities and politicians, but to principles and the Constitution.

But then it's a cult of personality, so...

Total Amen.  Houston area people are working hard to help themselves and their neighbors and we haven't heard one whine from them.

That Puerto Rican Mayor had absolutely no reason to make the statements she did, except for the usual liberal griping and Trump hate.

I see that you get off on making over the top accusations about Trump.  It's so dang easy.

How about trying a more balanced take on the general accomplishments of the Trump administration.

[Neverdul]

Hey.... remember the good ole days?   When.... our side used to mock, point & laugh at, and diss how many times Obama used the word "I" in his speeches?

Shsssss! You are not supposed to point that out. : )

You have to look at the overall balance of the forum.  With some of the crazy Trump apologetics, sometimes a little over the top accusation is needed for balance.

Nothing over the top about it at all. Every word I have spoken is self-evident by way of simple observation.

General accomplishments? WHAT general accomplishments. 98% of his accomplishments disappear with his administration. What EXACTLY should make me change my mind and issue a rosy outlook full of praise?

And I used to think the cult of personality surrounding Obama was bad….


Great song BTW.

He's a child.  And he's President.  And he's supposedly a "Republican.'

Yeah....... that's sorry.  And embarrassing.  And un-American.

I know you want strong criticism of Trump to stop because he's done a few decent things, but his behavior and cry-baby plea for "credit" is pathetic.  Sorry.

An adult doesn't behave this way.  A President doesn't behave this way.  Sorry.

But then, you knew that when you voted for him, and are trying desperately to make some sort of lemonade here.

And for your consistency, I give you credit.

You don't give up, even when Trump's behavior is sorry......
