Donald Trump is up early on Saturday and he’s servin’ up his trademark “covfefe” pipin’ hot, America. Get your mug.
You’ll recall that on Friday, San Juan Mayor Carmen YulÃn Cruz was incredulous to learn that Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke went on national television and described the situation in Puerto Rico as “a good news story.” Here’s the clip:
"Dammit, this is not a good news story": San Juan mayor slams acting DHS Secretary Duke's comments about Puerto Rico https://t.co/mWdPEsCSHn

That seemed to have marked some kind of turning beyond which there was no return for the Mayor, who would later say the following to Trump:
Trump has, of course, been distracted from Puerto Rico by a number of more important considerations, including his ongoing feud with the entire professional sports community and his effort to pass tax reform that would save his family an estimated $1.1 billion.
Additionally, Trump is trying to deflect blame for his bungled disaster response by citing the fact that Puerto Rico is an island which, he learned this week, means it’s “surrounded by water.” And not just any water – “big water.” “Ocean water.”
good luck Puerto Rico…. pic.twitter.com/2WIxmVufCv

Well on Saturday morning, Trump took it up a notch on Twitter and, in a move that will almost invariably turn into yet another horrific PR (double entendre there) disaster, he is now claiming this is a conspiracy against him orchestrated by the Democrats. No, really:
It got worse – and immeasurably so. Trump went to claim that the woman you see in the clips above, as well as unidentified “others in Puerto Rico”, are demonstrating “poor leadership” by refusing to “help”:
They are, Trump says, lazy people who “want everything done for them“…
Needless to say, all of that is absolutely beyond the pale, even for Trump and you can expect this will be met with a furious backlash from Puerto Rico, from Democrats, and most assuredly from the media which will be all over this like the President on pussy.
I am waiting for the backlash from GOP’s and Congress! They must get off their dead asses and do something about this raving lunatic! They are so wrapped up in that disgraceful healthcare crap and now they want to shove the insulting tax plan down our throats and tell us that it is good for us!
I’ll tell you what is good for us – as in U.S. – drag that lying scheming sociopath out of our White House! You will never convince me that even his “base” and fellow Republicans think he is “doing a fine job”, as he likes to say! It is a travesty this man was permitted to even run for election much less be acclaimed the winner!
Please go back now and read comments at Heisenberg’s article “Krugman: Trump’s Narcissism Is Turning ‘Deadly’ ” and catch up on trump’s connection to Puerto Rico and the golf course 30 miles from San Juan. That will tell you why I am even more outraged today!

PR disaster is right. Are you fu*king kidding me !!!! This piece of sh*t is now and maybe always has been killing people, yep, Trump might as well as walked right up to someone(s) in San Juan and shot them in front of the world camera’s.
The soul of Amerika is gone and all those religious nuts looking for “the rapture” just might have their evil to set that in motion. This ass is a narcissist and the dead keep piling up, not even a “I am sorry” and will make sure as American citizens that you matter. Yea, right, this is racial, it is wrong and it is not going to stop until this piece of sh*t is gone from the White House. Fu*k all of this republican cover for “Mein Fuhrer”, do your jobs, impeach this piece of offal now.
The “mayor” is a highly skilled propagandist throwing bombs like “genocide” clearly spitting on the 2,500 U.S. military stationed there in the U.S. Coast Guard, Puerto Rico National Guard, the Puerto Rico Air National Guard and the U.S. Army’s small Ft. Buchanan (supporting local veterans and reserve units). Apparently their existence and heroic efforts are invisible to CNN.
just because you put “mayor” in scare quotes doesn’t mean she’s not the Mayor. It’s kind of like if I hate my mailbox, and I write about it and say “my ‘mailbox’ is plotting against me”, it doesn’t change the fact that it’s still my mailbox.
