43. Donald Trump Dedicated A Golf Trophy To Hurricane Victims, And Everyone Is Furious

Donald Trump's response to the crisis in Puerto Rico has, uh, left a lot to be desired. In the week and a half since the island was decimated by Hurricane Maria on Sept. 20, his most notable statements about the devastated U.S. territory have been to victim blame Puerto Rico for its debt and pick a fight with one of the most prominent leaders on the island. And now, in a jaw-droppingly tone-deaf gesture, Trump dedicated a golf trophy to hurricane victims in Puerto Rico on Oct. 1.

Trump spent the weekend of Sept. 30 at his own golf club in Bedminster, NJ, but was at the Liberty National Golf Club on Sunday afternoon to award the President's Cup trophy — the first time the award has been handed out by a sitting president, according to NJ.com. As he awarded the trophy to the victorious U.S. team, he spoke about the disaster in Puerto Rico, as well as hurricane-ravaged Florida and Texas. He said,

On behalf of all of the people of Texas and all of the people of – if you look today and see what's happening, how horrible it is, though we have it under really great control in Puerto Rico. And the people of Florida, who have really suffered over this last short period of time with the hurricanes, I want to just remember them and we're going to dedicate this trophy to all of those people that went through so much.

That's nice enough, worthy of some polite golf applause, I suppose. Until you remember that Trump himself has been under heavy criticism for heading to a golf resort during a time when millions of American citizens are reportedly without electricity, reliable drinking water, or communication in a disaster zone.
Then? It's not so good.
