    Default Trump is reportedly upset about video footage showing him throwing rolls of towels

    this is a leader??



    As Hurricane Florence continued its destructive path in North and South Carolina on Friday, President Donald Trump has reportedly been fixated on unflattering news reports about his response to Hurricane Maria, which hit Puerto Rico in September 2017.

    Trump has particularly been irritated by video footage of him throwing rolls of paper towels to a crowd of relief workers on the island, according to a Washington Post report published Thursday. Trump had characterized his gestures as good-natured, but the footage prompted accusations that Trump lacks empathy.

    "They had these beautiful, soft towels. Very good towels," Trump said during an interview with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee in October. "And I came in and there was a crowd of a lot of people. And they were screaming and they were loving everything. I was having fun, they were having fun. They said, 'Throw 'em to me! Throw 'em to me Mr. President!'"

    “If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”

    — Golda Meir

    Zionism is the movement for the self-determination and statehood for the Jewish people in their ancestral homeland, the land of Israel.


    “If Hamas put down their weapons, there would be no more violence. If the Jews put down their weapons, there would be no Israel."

    they had these beautiful soft towels. Who talks like that? they were paper towels. Nothing special about them. Was he filming a commercial? Of course, Daffy is always filming a commercial.rying to sell more lies and crap to his 25 percent.

    Straws are illegal in California, and liberals are grasping at them whenever they can.

    Shooting hoops with paper towels looked pretty stupid, but in the pantheon of incompetence Trump is capable of, that does not even register as a blip on my radar.

    To me, the real insight provided by this story is how thin-skinned Trump is.

    A world leader and a national politician needs to have a thick skin. He needs to have self-control and discipline. He cannot afford to be seen fuming over inconsequential issues. Come to think of it, those are rules of behavior for any successful professional, not just world leaders.

    This is exactly why Kim Jong Un knows he can toy with Trump, by sending him flattering letters. World leaders have caught on that the self-centered nitwit Trump is literally too stupid to know when he is being manipulated -- and we now have a leader of our great nation who is widely viewed as an easily duped mark by foreign leaders.

    Hello Guno,

    Too funny!

    So I take it we won't see the president going to the Carolinas to toss rolls of paper towels to the storm survivors there?

    Darn!

    I was SO looking forward to that.

    Perhaps you should have paid more attention during high school English.

    You really like sucking Trump's Dick, don't you.
    Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”
