I will try to keep this brief and civil. After days of chasing down reports of friends from Tampa to Weaverville, we turned on the news last night to see the former president yammering to a crowd of first responders in Valdosta and my blood pressure went skyward.
Again, as calmly as I can… Those ladies and gentlemen are not there to escort candidate motorcades. They are not on scene to guard sycophants as they build quaint daises out of the bricks of collapsed buildings and check camera angles. They actually have desperately-needed services to provide the people who live there. Every lie they are required to applaud is another house unchecked for survivors.
I suppose I can understand Franklin Graham’s being there, as he actually brought some useful supplies, though making sure his ministry’s brand was front and center indicates a somewhat imperfect understanding of Matthew 6:2.
But the last thing needed in any zone is talent. They not only provide zero useful assistance to survivors, they take actual service providers out of play. Because they’re too stupid to not hurt themselves and need minders. Even more if they brought their own minders, as they need minders.
Every real president knows this. Junior caught shit for staying in Crawford then looking down on us from his plane, but he was actually doing the right thing. Unless you know how to work a chain saw and a winch, stay the fuck out of the zone.
Every real president knows this. The idiot orange Playskool Prez neither knows nor cares and has again demonstrated just how unfit he is for any public trust.
Rant off.
Addendum: I guarantee you’ll be hearing this BS soon:
Near as I can tell, Himself’s “donations” consist of authorizing a GoFundMe in His Precious Name to which other people have given money. He has not contributed so much as a Bible or a golden shoe.
