Question about our President

[dreamflower]

Behind a cut for political content.

There have been 130 confirmed tornadoes, with 20 fatalities in 2017. Since the Inauguration, communities have been devastated by floods, blizzards, mudslides, sinkholes... There are people who are still in shelters after their homes were destroyed.

Have we heard a single word of sympathy or support from our new President or even acknowledgement that these events happened? I don't recall it if he has, but please correct me if I am wrong. Does he even have any idea it's part of his job?

Does he care?

Not that I'm aware of. He hasn't even responded to CA's request for state of emergency funds. He's a disgustingly cruel monster who's more concerned with his daughter's clothing line than those he is supposed to lead.

From FEMA.gov website: Oroville Dam Spillway
We activated our regional and headquarters coordination centers and an incident management team and liaison officer are at the California emergency operations center. Please continue to listen to local officials.

What cracks me up is California submitted a petition to secede less than a month ago, and now they are begging for federal money. What will CA do when it is on its own?

amen on that, my thoughts exactly

Apparently last night someone finally clued him in, since Spicer mentioned it in his press briefing. He, personally, has yet to say one word about it.

I'm not sure he cares.

[dreamflower]

He's shown no sign of it.

Nope. None of his rich friends were affected, or his kids, or Putin, so screw them. Those pissy tweets about Nordstrom and SNL won't write themselves.

We are in the evil mirror universe.

*sigh* As Theoden said, "How did it come to this?"

Because Hillary was just as bad, because emails. (sarcasm)

And of course not a peep from the GOP now that Trump and his staff are using their own private servers. Oh, the hypocrisy.

[dreamflower]

Well, looks like the new info on the Russians has finally stirred up a few Republicans. Let's see if that's enough. I won't hold my breath.

Everyone in the W administration had them and no one said boo.

[dreamflower]

Well, that's nice to think about-- somewhere in the multi-verse, Hilary is President and the last three weeks never happened. Now, how do I get there? *sigh* If only...

All I can say is PREACH.

He's a sociopath so no, he doesn't care.

He is punishing California for not voting for him. All he cares about are his own personal interests. He won the presidency. That's all he wanted. Another notch in his belt and now, just like everyone else he has touched, we can all go to hell. He'll just sit back, enjoy the title and run the country into the ground. We have to get out the vote in the mid term elections to defeat the GOP and break their stranglehold on the government!

He only cares about large media events where he can shout out to the vacuous population who believe he walks an inch or two above the ground. Oy! No ... to answer your question. He doesn't care.

These are great questions. He did bother to tweet a sympathy statement from his POTUS twitter account on Feb 7th to Louisiana on the tornado outbreak, but that one statement is all that I know of. But it's much more important to go to a Florida rally this weekend or hang out every weekend in his Florida mansion than visit any of the survivors of these events . . . yeah.

No, I haven't heard a single word. He doesn't give a rats ass. It's all about him. This whole business with the connections to Russia and the fact that apparently the GOP is totally okay with it -- when if it was a Democrat in office, they'd already have 12 investigative committees, well it's beyond frightening.

[marta-bee.livejournal.com]

Not a single word I've heard. Though there's been so much... let's just call it activity, I may have missed it.

He does have a real lack of empathy for anyone not like him. Black and brown people, women people, gay people, yes, but also middle-America people in those parts of the country he just doesn't have any connection of. Talk about a liberal elitist...
