(14,593 posts)I am holding my nose as I say this, but as he spoke about the Vegas massacre, he actually seemed presidential.
But here's the thing: He didn't do this at all over the disaster in Puerto Rico. We did not see a solemn president, standing at a podium, instilling confidence in us that FEMA and military disaster teams were on the way. We did not see anything but a bunch of tweets and some bullshit about how PR is an island....surrounded by water....bit water!
I'm going to have to go with Che here, on SNL, when he said that anyone with skin darker than Trump's golf pants doesn't matter to him.
