A massive storm just struck the east coast, killing people. Why is the president leaving work?

[yardwork]

I get tired of the double standards and hypocrisy. Why is Trump allowed to skip work, week after week?

This makes me angry.

[smirkymonkey]

1. Because he just doesn't care.

The people killed and made homeless are OTHER PEOPLE. Trump doesn't care about other people, only himself. It's no surprise. He is the antithesis of what a strong leader should be.

[yardwork]

7. But why does the media give him a pass?

Constant whining about Obama's infrequent vacations. Silence about Trump's dereliction of duty.

[smirkymonkey]

12. Because he is a republican and the media is controlled by republicans.

It's sickening what he gets away with.

[RKP5637]

29. Exactly! He's a sociopathic monster and the media for the most part does not give a damn.

And, he gets a free ride on taxpayer's money. The US is being ruled by a gangster family. I still think many citizens are still oblivious to WTF is going on. And most just can't seem to comprehend how much the republican party has changed. The republican party of today is a POX on America.

[Horse with no Name]

2. all of his supporters who gnashed their teeth and wailed

about Obama...well, I guess this pretty much shows that they really don't care.

[yardwork]

8. They make me sick. Literally.

[Horse with no Name]

16. me too.

i have tons of pictures and stuff on Facebook so I don't want to delete my account...but I can say that the time I spend there is about 99% less than I used to....I just can't stomach the hypocrisy from people that I know.

[yardwork]

17. I unfriended almost every Trump supporter and unfollowed family.

And I never post. I visit FB to keep up with family and that's it.

[OhNo-Really]

28. I'm hoping he wears a Tan suit this summer

[snowybirdie]

3. Because

There's a fundraiser for him at Mar A Lago this weekend. Great deal, he gets the funds plus the campaign pays his property for the dinner costs!

[yardwork]

9. Obvious conflict of interest, pure theft of taxpayer money. Why does he get a pass?

[Stargazer99]

4. the common man has no value

in their "moral" system. Only people with money and power are valued in the Republican system (just look at what they do). The common man is just like cattle, something to harvest more wealth from.

[yardwork]

10. Exactly. But the sheeple are easily brainwashed and herded to the polls.

Coming for your gunz!!!111

This is what our country has become?

[RKP5637]

30. Americans, some, are ignorant and stupid, and frankly uneducated. ... know little of

history, and probably do not even know how government works. America is also less than 4% of the worlds' population and may be dumped to a far back seat as the rest of the world takes over.

Just the fact an ass like Trump is elected is very telling, and the creeps he surrounds himself with. Just the fact that congress sits on their ass is very telling. America is not a very impressive country anymore, and the world view of America sinks further all the time. Also, in world rankings, America continues to fall/fail.

America had a good run of it after WWII, but that is all ancient history now. I am hopeful America will eventually get back on the right track.

[raccoon]

39. Great post. nt

[PatSeg]

23. The common man has value

when used for photo ops and votes. This weekend he needed fundraising more evidently.

[Iliyah]

5. t-rump, his cronies, err, administration,

the GOPs, don't care. Majority of his cronies (GOPs) are greedy religious zealous people who in their hateful tiny minds think it's GAWD's work EXCEPT when it happens to them.

[yardwork]

15. Hypocrites. They should review what Jesus about hypocrites.

[HipChick]

6. a 6yr boy died..crushed to death in his bed...oh well..Trump has a tee time to meet

and back in DC Sunday to go to a dinner....

[yardwork]

14. I know.

[PearliePoo2]

11. The people that babysat him, tried to advise him to behave like a human have left, quit..

been fired or indicted.

He's alone with no friends. He's scared and he's miserable. He's an asshole. It's going to get worse.

[yardwork]

13. He's been like this from the beginning. He golfs almost every week.

He's gone to one of his personal properties almost every weekend since he was elected. We the taxpayers pay his companies' exorbitant charges to house and feed his huge entourage, money that goes into his pocket.

It's disgusting. It's illegal - in violation of the emoluments clause - and the media says nothing.

But Obama's tan suit.

[Weed Man]

44. Seize all Trump properties

After he is indicted by Mueller to repay the taxpayers and then kick him out of the country and into prison in Siberia.

[NutmegYankee]

18. The storm hit blue states - we don't matter to him.

[PatSeg]

24. Apparently

he has no properties affected by the storm.

[Guilded Lilly]

19. Republicans use him as a convenient front man stooge so that they can

Advance their anti humanity pro money agenda.
These vipers have shown their heartless soulless attitude towards real people for YEARS and this pathetic administration is in the middle of a perfect storm of indecency, misanthropic greed, hate, reality show media idiocy and total disregard for their fellow human beings. They will take down as many innocent citizens as they can before they are stopped.
Personally the Cretin is a total wretch of a human being. Always. Always has been always will be and we are stuck with him until someone finds the right means and guts to take him out of office.

[yardwork]

22. Let's make noise about it, though.

Let's not just accept media complicity.

Eventually maybe we'll elect another Democratic president and the media will go right back to work whining about Dijon mustard and tan suits.

[Guilded Lilly]

45. I am ALL for it!! This November will hopefully send these wretches packing for good.

[Wounded Bear]

20. Brave Sir Trump...

[yardwork]

21. Ridicule is a potent weapon. We need to use it more often.

[MineralMan]

25. They're mostly Democrats, so he doesn't care.

That's my guess.

[Orange Free State]

26. Better to have him golfing

than to have him actually be Presidenting.

[bottomofthehill]

27. Thankfully for me, not life or death but

We have had no electricity for 26 hours. It is 46 degrees in my house and 39 degrees in my refrigerator. We are close to having to throw out and replace a lot of food. The fear is that if we open the door to cook the food, than we lose everything we don’t cook as the temp will go above 40 which is the point we have to throw everything out.

I wish I could go to Marlargo too.

Drove to McDonald’s for coffee and breakfast sandwiches, to warm up and to recharge the phone.

It is supposed to be about 40 so at least there is no worry about the pipes freezing. Hopefully the electricity comes back on before the food in the freezer thaws, then things get really expensive

[yardwork]

31. I'm so sorry. I hope your power is restored soon.

[bottomofthehill]

42. Yard work is an appropriate name for me too

Here seemed to be a million little and big sticks all over the lawn, the gutters, everywhere. I spent the better part of the last 2 hours picking them up.

[Vinca]

35. We somehow lucked out and didn't lose power, but I feel for you.

It's not the end of the world, but it's darned uncomfortable and inconvenient.

[bottomofthehill]

41. Thanks , there are crazy little things

As many are with out power there is a long wait even for fast food. On the bright side, the 5 guys opened and my teenager and friends are on the way there. He will probably be out of the house for a good hour or two, so I can walk the dog and clean up a little.

Uncomfortable and inconvenient about sums it up. It is actually warmer outside so we have windows and the door on the side of the house that the wind is NOT coming from. Opened the sliding door and the wind blew an entire stack of napkins all over.

[Mr.Bill]

32. He has bigger problems to worry about.

His girlfriend just quit her job at the White House.

[Vinca]

33. He didn't affect him so he doesn't really give a shit.

[malaise]

34. I did wonder - It' not as if this wasn't predicted by the experts

Incompetent doesn't describe this lunatic

[dameatball]

36. The less he is at work the better off we are.

[mtngirl47]

37. "Work" is the key word here.

Neither Trump or his children know how to work. Trump was given money and if he took one meeting per day that was it. Maybe hobnob at parties...stand in front of a camera and pontificate (WHY did the media always ask his opinion about political things??). But he NEVER had to go to the office from 9 to 5....much less 8am to 9pm like at my small business.

As we know his schedule is that of a retired billionaire. Our presidents have always aged before our eyes....I knew this one wouldn't let his hair or eyebrows go gray....but hell, he's barely breaking a sweat....AND he doesn't give a shit or worry like those that came before him.

[raccoon]

38. Well, he deserves a break today. :sarcasm: nt

[hatrack]

40. To "leave" work, wouldn't he first have to "do" work?

[Cha]

43. WTF does he care.. about Anything

other than himself.

[spanone]

46. He played golf today. priorities.

[Skittles]

47. let's get real: Donald Fucking Trump really has no job

he has no idea what the fuck is even SUPPOSED to be doing
