(23,099 posts)drumpf is purposeful malignance, how dare anyone attempt to make him work when he's got golf on his mind? He'll get them for that and is in the middle of trying to do just that. I will be shocked if he listens to the general. Will probably replace him with Pence who will just lie and lie as the people of Puerto Rico die.

(45,442 posts)he is punishing people who don't provide any benefit to him. Blatantly punching down on people who can't hit back simply because he can. Asshole from birth.

(1,301 posts)Bush did a considerable amount of damage to black communities. His reaction to Katrina was a tragedy. She followed it up by saying she didn't feel he was an overt racist and his only guilt in that area was his lack of comprehension when it comes to privilege. Much of her thoughts here come from Bushs work on education. She felt he screwed it all up but saw he want to give additional help to diverse communities that were being undeserved. She believed there were many circumstance that could arise where Bush would have given her the shirt off his back. She never felt he personally hated her or other members of her community. He was in over his head, an idiot and a drunk.
She then went on to Trump. She knows he personally hates her though he has never met her. That is because of the color of her skin. Even worse she feels he is stoking the division of racism to an extent we haven't seen in a long time. Mainly because it the power hasn't been wielded at this level for some time. She is in fear at this point. She doesn't like walking out here door. Her neighbor wears a Trump hat and makes nasty comments to her. She says she never felt additional fear under Bush. Just the same level she normally lived under.

(53,410 posts)And for all Americans who arent acceptable to Trump and his supporters.
What he said about the Mayor of Puerto Rico shows much more than anything else how hate filled his heart is.
He truly is a Malignant Narcissist. He gave himself away. Showed the entire world just how pitch black and twisted his soul is. If this doesnt make his followers hesitate and question his spiel nothing will. Anyone still supporting him after this is just as hate filled as he is. If that means that 30% of Americans are as vile as he is, then so be it.
