"Good job, Brownie!"

Remember?

This disaster with the way the Trump Administration is handling the missing children reminds me of that moment when people were wading in flood waters up to their chests, and the Bush Administration was totally unprepared.

But, I don't believe that George W Bush did it out of intent to be cruel. I think Trump is doing it simply out of cruelty. That is the difference.

1. Bush was incompetent.

Trump is a sociopath.

3. Do you think he has found a way to make money out of this or just a ploy to rev up the base?

Cruel.
synonyms:brutal, savage, inhuman, barbaric, barbarous, brutish, bloodthirsty, murderous, vicious, sadistic, wicked, evil, fiendish, diabolical, monstrous, abominable

They all describe the man and his administration.

5. He's building an loyal audience for...

...the TV network he's planning when he leaves office.

A media empire is the payoff. I think he was planning to do that even if he lost. Somewhere along the way, the Russians got involved. That's my current theory to try to make sense of things.

6. A good possibility. A lot of what he does points to this and other potential business ventures.

He has his base convinced that everyone except fox is fake news. He is the only one telling the truth. He tells us this daily. His network will be the "Real News" for them. A real and scary possibility.

Also, NK, Russia and other previously shunned countries are ripe for plundering by Trump family's businesses. Always looking for the next $$$ deal.

4. Trump enjoys being an asshole.

It's the power. Some can use it for good. He can't.

7. I think it was "Heck of a job, Brownie."

In any event, no W isn’t cruel..Even then people wanted to have a beer with him.

That being said, Dick Cheney....
Pretty effin evil.
