What Kind of President Uses a Natural Disaster as Cover

[MineralMan]

for his vile actions? There's only one answer: Donald J. Trump.

It's not coincidence that he pardoned Arpaio, fired Gorka, banned transgender people from joining the military and who knows what other stuff in the midst of news coverage of a potentially deadly hurricane hitting Texas. That's how this man covers his tracks as he slinks off to Camp David to avoid having to say anything about any of it.

Unconscionable. Disgusting. That is PINO Trump.

1. Fux Ruse last night said that is was a "smart political strategy".

Two sides, two sides...

2. The same one that uses his grandkids when walking to Marine One

He will even switch sides, so they are in between him and the press...

You never see him with PDA's of his own son..

3. Or, maybe he did those shitty things because

he didn't like being upstaged by a hurricane and he knew he'd get attention.

[MineralMan]

4. Maybe, but I think he was looking for cover.

5. Who is advising him? Anyone?

Are they bargaining with him i.e. Ok, you can pardon Arpaio, but don't start a war?

He's already experiencing great political damage, and the large part America that is politically disengaged has no way to escape news of one clusterfuck after another. I think they're gonna get annoyed.

He seems to do things simply for the sake of being shitty and reactive.

6. I don't know, actually.

Some of those who were are no longer on his staff. Stephen Miller still is, for now. However, we don't get to know who communicates with Trump from outside.

In some cases, though, I think it is Trump, himself, who sees opportunities to hide behind a huge news story and use it as cover to do what he wants to do.

7. The epitome of a rhetorical question...

the kind of question that answer itself, or in which the answer is so obvious as to be irrelevent.

A rhetorical question is a question that you ask without expecting an answer. The question might be one that does not have an answer. It might also be one that has an obvious answer but you have asked the question to make a point, to persuade or for literary effect.

8. Yes, of course it is a rhetorical question. One designed to

encourage rhetoric in discussion of its obvious answer.
