Guess that's why the FEMA guy was everywhere Sunday telling us how engaged the presinut was.

4. Normally Trump just dabbles in crayon. Perhaps a change in medium might do him wonders.

2. Pence isn't much

But I guess he can run a meeting. Trump...........................................

3. No wonder why he's tweeting stupid stuff. Hurricane Harvey is left to the Adults in DC to handle.

5. Seems like every time they interviewed the new FEMA guy

(who seems to be one of the few Trump appointees who is actually qualified for his job), he'd preface his remarks with a statement to the effect that the "president" was very engaged and was closely monitoring the situation, blah blah blah. I got to wondering whether those statements were part of his marching orders. Did SCROTUS or one of his minions tell him to fluff the "president" at every opportunity?

6. Of course that's he was ordered to prop up the walking lump of bird droppings

He needs to have his self-congratulatory tweets supported.

10. I remember the same thing with Bush.

Every statement included a paean of praise to the wonderful job Bush was doing on that issue.

7. Why is anybody surprised? That is how CEO Trump runs a company!!!

He says "Do it" and you do it.
If you do it, he takes credit.
If you don't do it, he blames you, fires you, and moves on.



Remember Trump's brillant plan to defeat ISIS?
His brillant plan was telling the Pentagon to come up with a plan. (Not kidding. IIRC that was in January 2017)

Remember Trump's promise to repeal and replace Obamacare with something better?
His brillant idea was to have Congress do all the work of coming up with this better healthcare-plan.

Remember Trump's plan to build the wall and make Mexico pay for it?
He still has no idea HOW to make Mexico pay for it or even how to make Congress pay for it.

8. Why is he still at Camp David?

[Johonny]

13. No one told him to leave and he's not smart enough to leave himself

and no one really wants him back at the White House so...

9. "Hey, look everyone. I'm wearing a hat! It's red!"

"It's got 'USA' written on it and everything! Don't you love my hat? Don't you? Guys? SHUT HELL UP ABOUT THE HURRICANE AND TELL ME YOU LIKE MY HAT, GODDAMMIT!!!!!"
