Trump Couldn't Care Less About Hurricane Michael

During the devastation of Hurricane Michael, Trump was at a campaign rally boasting about numbers. Cenk Uygur, Ana Kasparian, Jake Choi, and Maytha Alhassen, hosts of The Young Turks, break it down.

"Hurricane Michael’s death toll rose to 16 on Friday and was expected to climb higher as emergency workers searched rubble and the storm’s grim consequences stretched from the Florida Panhandle into Virginia.

Rescue teams were in the early stages of combing a region razed by a Category 4 hurricane that flattened blocks, collapsed buildings and left infrastructure crippled. Some of the hardest-hit communities have yet to report any fatalities, and although officials said they hoped they would find survivors, a resigned gloom was setting in throughout the disaster zone.

Dr. Jay Radtke, the medical examiner for some of the areas of most concern, including Panama City and Mexico Beach, said he could not release any information on the number of dead in the six Panhandle counties under his jurisdiction. 'We are swamped,” he said. “It’s a disaster zone down here.'"

Trump: Climate change doesn't exist.
Mother Nature: Hold my beer.

And let's not forget that Trump Criticised President Obama for playing golf when he was President when Trump actually played more golf in his first year as President then Obama did in his entire 8 years as president. Everyone go vote on Nov 6th and vote all the Republicans out of office so we can at least have a chance of saving our country and our way of life.

[dangerouslytalented]

He will never care about hurricanes until Mar-a-Lago gets wrecked by one.

Regulation = protection + safety. Always remember that, when you hear politicians say "we need less regulations" what they are actually saying is "we need less safety and less protection" - don't ever allow them to get away with making anything less safe.

Trump probably assumes Mexico Beach and Panama City are not part of the US

[erinsmith]

Yes, President Trump would rather go to a political rally for his re-election instead of being in the White House as the State of Florida was being inundated by Hurricane Michael! Not a leader for the American People! As you see, Donald Trump would rather stroke his ego, than doing his job as President! So with the Mid-Term Elections coming up and knowing how Trump responded to Hurricane Michael, how would you vote? I know my vote would not be for anything Republican or anyone supported by Trump!

[goodgulf]

Donald probably thinks Mexico Beach is part of Mexico

[Flash]

The beach's name has Mexico in it, so of course Trump's not going to give a shit.

Hang on Florida, ,
Paper towels are on the way.

Been watching you guys for years. Now you guys are talking about me. I’m displaced. Been gone since Tuesday and I don’t know when I can go home. The pain in your heart speaking with people as the storm makes landfall, and everything goes dark, absolutely terrifying. We have been helping others where we can. We have a roof, so there is still hope for us for our belongings, but those are only things. We still are waiting to hear from some of our friends who stayed.Thanks for speaking on this. Please keep speaking, don’t let this issue die with the news cycle. I’ve ran into people that didn’t know there was a storm there.

[leonardberg]

Maybe he'll go down there and throw some rolls of paper towels to the crowd to mop up those trillions of gallons of water

[davidjacquez]

1000s of lives vs. Trumps ego. Ego wins? Thats Trump!

[speedracer]

On Fox and friends, He talks about himself and the rally not a bit about the victims. He is pissed cuz Fox isnt covering his rallies.

[verasmith]

I think the people will still be waiting for food and water next week.

No money in FEMA.

Remember it cost $800 a day to keep a kid in a tent.

[PolaOpposite]

In Donald's defense, he thinks the hurricane hit Mexico and Panama.

[roboticcynic]

No, I thought Trump cared about the people that voted him in office. Maybe he'll throw a bunch of towels solve your problems. Ask Puerto Rico.

[Cboz]

Camping out 2 days early? Don't these people have jobs? /s

[Bevity]

Hurricanes? Been there, done that. BORING! A new rally? People love me! They're lining up, you wouldn't beLIEVE how many people are lining up to see me and make America great again!

[marctouss]

and guess who's going to vote for trump again.... that's right... the same people who lost houses and probably even loved ones...

[oengusfearghas]

All Trump ever seems to do is hold rallies and play golf.
