Trump Begs for Campaign Donations as Hurricane Ian Destroys Florida

Trump

There is no shame in Donald Trump’s game. Armed with the knowledge that his followers will still worship him as the Messiah if he shoots a little old lady trying to cross 5th avenue in New York City, he never loses an opportunity to shear his sheep.

As Ian, the hurricane of the century, (which thanks to climate change is now a yearly event), battered Florida and plunged the state into darkness he made an urgent appeal from his Mar-a-Lago home for the fellow residents of the Sunshine State to give donations to the Red Cross.

I kid. Midway through Hurricane Ian’s path of destruction across Florida, Trump asked his supporters to donate to his presidential bid. After all, when a hurricane has ripped the roof of your house, and flooded the first floor, the first thought on your mind is, “I really need to donate money to billionaire Trump’s presidential campaign.”

Riding out the storm at his Mar-A-Lago palatial estate, Trump posted a video asking the public to contribute:

“We have a major fundraising deadline coming up. There has never been a time like this, our country has never been so disrespected, or so low, certainly in the minds of leaders all over the world.”

There’s a sucker born every minute, and there’s a new Trump supporter born as a pimple in his fat ass every second, and I have no doubt that his video will elicit donations.

Every natural disaster brings out the best in some people, and the worst in moral reprobates like Donald Trump.

Donald Trump Used Hurricane Harvey as Cover to Pardon Joe Arpaio

Natural disasters bring to light the worst of Mother Nature and the best of human beings, the courage and determination of the victims and first responders remind us of the indomitability of the human spirit.

Natural disasters also reveal the character of the President of the United States. President George Bush was on vacation when Hurricane Katrina made landfall, and as the nation watched the devastation in horror, the president remained on vacation, he didn`t return back to the White House until a couple of days later.

On his way back, Bush had Air Force One fly over part of the devastated area and he glimpsed the wreckage from the plane. The photo of Bush looking out the window of his presidential plane became one of the defining images of his tenure.

A picture speaks a thousand words, and that photograph spoke of the president`s detachment from the concerns of everyday people. Since most of the victims in the hardest-hit areas were African-Americans it also spoke of his insensitivity towards people of color. In Kanye`s immortal words, “Bush doesn`t care about black people.”

The Bush presidency never recovered from Hurricane Katrina, and President Donald Trump failed to learn from Bush`s bungling of the natural disaster.

Hours before Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Texas, Donald Trump left the White House for a weekend getaway in Camp David.

Trump used Hurricane Harvey as a cover for announcing controversial measures, the pardon of racist Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the signing of a memo which bans transgender individuals from newly enlisting in the military.

Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans in 2005 during Bush`s second term, and the Iraq war had already severely weekend him. Hurricane Harvey struck Texas only seven months into Trump`s administration, but his countless scandals and mistakes have already crippled his administration.

Trump is ill-equipped to lead our nation during the best of times, God help us when he`s at the helm during a natural disaster or a terrorist attack.

For God`s sake, we must get rid of the bastard, one way or another, as soon as possible.
