Trying to pretend Trump cares, WH schedules several 10-min-or-less calls for him tomorrow

Look at the schedule in this tweet from WaPo's Abby Phillip:







Lots of fairly short calls scheduled for Trump between 2 and 3 pm, only one of them scheduled to last more than 10 minutes (meaning likely no more than a few minutes each).

All these conversations are closed to the press, of course.

But hey, he's on the phone to ALL THOSE PEOPLE -- from the FEMA director to current and former Puerto Rican officials to the governor of the US Virgin Islands -- so he really, REALLY CARES.

And with the calls scheduled like this, he still has plenty of time left for golf...

For those who've been unconscious for the last few days, she's the major of San Juan. I don't think Dump dares talk to her. He'd probably get an earful, and not about how wonderful he is.

It's probably killing him to not have white old PR men to speak with...

Best I can tell from google.

Which means all will say how wonderful the calls went and praise drumf.

Most important to drumf is they have not given interviews about how he has botched this and is killing people...you know, telling the TRUTH.

Yet the calls will still be closed to the press because the WH doesn't dare risk the least criticism of him, let alone Trump showing his ignorance and callousness during the calls.
