Trump tells the people of the Bahamas that the death toll would be much higher without his help?

Does anyone know what he did to help them?

our coast guard is there now. Other nations are also help-it is a national disaster but Trump wants personal credit and tweets it out for the world to see. Trump is a stinking rat.

Hurricane's are Puerto Rico's fault

I expect Trump will demand Puerto Rico pay for the damages.

To me a statement isn’t even a statement of it is not signed or someone doesn’t take credit for it in the media.

How do I even know that wasn’t posted by a hacker??? Or some low level IT person????

‘No anonymous sources,’ Trump scolds - after White House uses them

"WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump escalated his criticism of the news media Friday, taking direct aim this time at the use of anonymous sources. Reporters “shouldn’t be allowed to use sources unless they use somebody’s name,” he declared, just hours after members of his own staff held a press briefing and refused to allow their names to be used.

I don’t know if standard government employees swear an oath to the constitution, but the military does. Those expenses charged and paid to trump properties are in violation of both FAR and DFAR (federal acquisitions regulations and military federal acquisition regulations) and will have a military officer’s signature on on the payment and no doubt on the travel orders because someone would have to be pretty naive to land a plane there and stay there without getting it in writing first.

Nobody is “on notice.”

I don’t mean anything against you personally - I’m just terribly, unbelievably frustrated with stupid words and so little else.
