Trump Is Bragging About His Crowd Sizes As Deadly Hurricane Michael Wrecks The Gulf Coast
Hours after the storm made landfall, Trump made it much worse by taking to Twitter to brag about the crowd size of his rally again, the rally he should have never held under the circumstances along the gulf coast.
A short time ago, the narcissist-in-chief posted this video of the massive overflow crowd that turned out in Pennsylvania on Wednesday night.
Just a friendly reminder that Trump criticized President Barack Obama in 2012 for hitting the campaign trail weeks after Hurricane Sandy.
Six years later, Trump didnt even spend an hour pretending to care about the impending gulf coast disaster. He jumped right onto the campaign trail, where he attacked Democrats and trashed the Me Too movement.
No president mismanages hurricanes quite like Trump
Following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, it would have been hard to imagine any future president bungling a federal response to a massive storm as badly as George W. Bush did 13 years ago.
But Trump hasnt just risen the occasion to be a far worse leader during natural disasters; he also seems to be okay with his compassionless incompetence. In fact, he has dropped any effort to even pretend to care about these deadly storms.
Whats worse is that Wednesdays decision by Trump to hold a ritzy fundraiser and political rally in Pennsylvania and then go on to brag about the crowd size is only the latest example of this presidents total abdication of leadership in times of crisis.......................................................

Chris Matthews Lets Loose On Trump For Holding Ritzy Fundraiser As Hurricane Ravages Gulf Coast

...................................
Instead of, you know, being the President of the United States, Trump first attended a $250,000 fundraiser before holding a campaign rally in Erie, Pennsylvania.
While the president entertains top donors tonight and presumably prepares to throw some red meat to his hungry base, the scenes from Florida could not be more catastrophic, Matthews said............................

Why spend the time and money covering the rallies when all the Fox audience is already at the rally? There's no one left at home to watch it.

but instead monitor what is happening concerning Hurricane Michael.

Notice that we rarely get to see the full crowd at his Nazi rallies. Just the people behind him. And, when we do get to see it, it's inevitably a mostly empty building. He's so full of shit. But, y'all knew that already.

in the history of hurricanes.
That defensive posture again, pissed that Mother Nature is stealing valuable media air time.
