C'mon, tell me he didn't say this

[bigtree]

Schooley? @Rschooley
"Things are working out well," says @POTUS on visit to storm shelter. "Families happy. As tough as this was, it's been a wonderful thing."

Glenn Thrush? @GlennThrush
"Have a good time everybody!" Trump says to reporters touring Houston shelter housing people who have lost houses, cars, livelihoods, etc.

[Turbineguy]

1. As Maxwell Smart would say....

"I asked you not to tell me that!"

[ClusterFreak]

2. C'mon... you know he did.

[bigtree]

7. I'm seeing it all over now

...I bailed before he had a chance to speak, watching people fawn over him.

Almost unbelievable how predictably awful and self-destructive this man is.

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. Runs screaming and shouting from the room.....

GAHHHHHH

[calimary]

41. You and me both!

All day whatever coverage I've seen, I find myself growling at the TV - "so, gee whiz, let's all give him a medal."

This is part of your JOB, dude. And this doesn't wash away your scandals, racism, insensitivity, phoniness, greed, selfishness, willful ignorance, incompetence, narcissism, fraternizing with the enemy, obstruction of justice, or your nonstop congenital lying.

[MineralMan]

4. King Donald the Clueless

[TEB]

5. what a heartless ass

No empathy

[Wellstone ruled]

8. Duh!!!

Empty Head empty heart.

[TEB]

13. Once again I think maybe trump will get it together

I need to stop with expectations

[Wellstone ruled]

18. Isn't that a famous

Fienstien thought? But I might be wrong. Humor does help though.

[TEB]

19. Humor is what gets me by

[Wellstone ruled]

26. About 65% of us in today's

Trumpian World.

[Beartracks]

10. Definitely clueless. n/t

[TEB]

16. I know clueless you would think ok

Let's be somber these poor people have just been thru the wringer. Not this moron I'm going back to watching college football.

[greeny2323]

6. LOL

Have a good time?

[Motley13]

9. you would expect anything different?!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

11. You can always count on him to say exactly the wrong thing.

I hope there won't be some BFD of a state funeral somewhere that he has to attend, but if so, I hope whoever is in charge of it won't ask him to speak. I can just imagine him standing in the pulpit of a big cathedral near the casket of an important dead person, and with that person's grieving, black-clad family in the front pews, and Trump saying something like, "What a great crowd! I'm happy to be representing the United States of America, where I was elected with the most electoral votes in history. This turnout is almost like my inauguration crowd. I wish Prime Minister (Dead Person) was alive to see this great turnout. Have a good time, everybody!"

[Skittles]

40. yup

he would be upset at the deceased being the center of attention

[elleng]

12. Sorry I can't,

and I'm listening to THIS!

[PatSeg]

27. Good for you!

I have the TV on in the background, so I'm just getting bits and pieces. He is behaving for Trump, so in spite of his tone deaf remarks, he is getting credit for being more sympathetic than during his previous visit to Texas. His supporters are in heaven of course.

[underpants]

14. ala Barbara Bush in Houston after Katrina

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.

[cwydro]

17. My thought too.

Jesus, what a clueless fuckhead.

[Glimmer of Hope]

28. Exactly. He is out to lunch.

[R B Garr]

37. That remains such a stunningly sad comment.

Seeing anyone under completely devastating circumstances and saying they are better off. It's truly a tragic slip of the mind. Imagine what they say in private.

[Achilleaze]

15. Clueless republican golden-golf goof 'billionaire' pretending to care

[unblock]

20. "I said have a good time! See, I'm thinking of others! Isn't that how you do empathy?"

[ismnotwasm]

21. Nup. He said it.

[NotASurfer]

22. And then, he'll address his MAGAtts with the justification they understand

He'll basically ask whether they believe what he tells them, or what their lying ears heard him actually say.

If there is an upside, any number of country songs are about someone who's been lied to, too many times, who finds the strength to dump an abusive loser. I think that might resonate.

[MFM008]

23. Media fawning

Over his attention to a tiny gathering of pre-screened suckers.

[forgotmylogin]

45. :facepalm:

45 has the attention span of a gnat, so because he helped at a shelter with happy people, in his mind, this is how everything is going.

In any other administration, this is what the President *should* be seen doing. With Trump, we know it's a bit of patronizing theater acted by a person who otherwise couldn't care less and is being coerced to look good for a media soundbite.

[Binkie The Clown]

24. And this about the Coast Guard: "I gave the commencement address at the C.G. Academy...

...You know that, right?"

[Iliyah]

25. Total embarrassment for the country.

[PdxSean]

29. It's a republican theme. Remember this?

CLAIM: Former first lady Barbara Bush said that New Orleans refugees being housed in the Houston Astrodome were “underprivileged anyway, so this is working very well for them.”

STATUS: TRUE.

[VOX]

30. Yes. Another GOP "compassion" highlight.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

44. Outstanding example of white privilege and 1% privilege. . . . . nt

[smirkymonkey]

31. No fucking way. He did not, did he?

I am not watching television today, but if this is true it is so incredibly heartless and tone deaf I can't even get my mind around it.

[dalton99a]

32. Goddamn sociopath

[left-of-center2012]

33. "I should be so lucky" says Trump

"I have to live in that dump, the White House"

[yuiyoshida]

34. Proof he is delusional

25th amendment !!!

[njhoneybadger]

35. The imp of the perverse lives in his head

[R B Garr]

36. Somebody pulled off a really good storm for his reality show.

Have a great time, everybody! This is wonderful.

[Chemisse]

38. Of course he did, because it's all about him - seriously.

"Things are working out well," (for me) "Families happy (to see me). As tough as this was (skipping golf), it's been a wonderful thing (for my ratings)."

"Have a good time everybody!" (because seeing people suffer when I am filthy rich is always a good time for all).

[BigmanPigman]

39. Unless it is written for him and put on a teleprompter he can't sound normal.

[Kleveland]

46. There is nothing normal about this buffoon!

Nothing, notta', zilch, zero, zed....

When will this nightmare be over?

[3catwoman3]

47. Even then, he never sounds..,

...at ease when tryin to offer comfoft.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

42. He is incapable of empathy. He said the things malignant narcissists say. . . . nt

[LuckyLib]

43. Folks in a state of utter shock and exhaustion. Facing what will be years of changes in

their lives, frustration at every turn, and no way to know whether everything will be made whole again. Jobs? Schools? communities? a total unknown. And this bozo spews his bullshit every which way. "Families happy."



A colossal idiot. And it gets worse every day.
