Unpopular President Donald Trump and the first lady threw on their safari gear to go out and make a very controlled press conference in Puerto Rico. Trump’s entire interaction with the world is based on the depth of an Atlantic City casino greeter in the 1980s and his sense of “humor,” is equally inappropriate and ill-informed. Like most of his appearances in front of live microphones and the press, Trump spent a considerable amount of the press conference chewing up time by thanking everybody doing a great job—while saying he was doing a great job himself. Talking about the man in control of “a thing called budget,” Trump made a hilarious statement.
Trump: Now, I hate to tell you this Puerto Rico, but you’ve thrown our budget a little out of wack. Because we’ve spent a lot of money on Puerto Rico and fine, we’ve saved a lot of lives.
I’m going to give myself a concussion if I keep smacking my forehead with my hand so much.
That man in charge of a “thing called budget,” is the world’s dumbest guy with numbers Mick Mulvaney. If our “budget is out of wack,” it’s mostly because Trump, his Republican administration and his Republican Party have never and do not want to ever budget in anything that doesn’t involve giving money to the wealthiest one percent of our country.
Trump’s entire life is one big lie after another, and his deep-seated racism means his lies about Puerto Rico are angled so as to blame Puerto Rico for any and all problems they have, while pretending to have tried his best to protect them from themselves.
