POLITICS: what have you done for us lately?

[Chankgeez]

jwar, honestly, I think it all stems from the way he conducts himself.

He's there because he really has no choice. It's expected of him. That's one of the responsibilites of being President. Can you just imagine what people'd be saying if he wasn't there? I'm sure he'll help people. To some extent it's really out of his hands. He has to.

Giving $1 Mil for relief wasn't expected of him.

Agreed.

I honestly think this is the one thing I can say, he's done a damn good job with.

No, agreed. That was nice of him.

He didn't give $1M in an official capacity as POTUS though. That's as a private citizen. Most past Presidents probably wouldn't've been able to afford to do that either.

So, serious question. Why the hell is he being critiqued for helping out? I'm not a huge Trump fan, but good God almighty it's fucking annoying. I saw Fox saying shit about his hat choice today. What the actual fuck is wrong with this country? At least he's there. I hope he's helping those poor people who need it.

Because he seems to lack basic empathy or human kindness. He had to go back to Houston for a do-over, because his first trip down there he was just going through the motions. He didn't meet a single evacuee the first trip down. Yeah, that would be largely symbolic. But symbolism is a huge part of being president.

"Have a good time" - Trump to reporters and flood evacuees at a shelter.

Do you think we could get Wall Street bankers classified as a street gang?

I mean, I get what you're saying but at least he's doing it now.

The comments you mentioned, I have read. I'm in no position to say "well he probably meant this or that", however if I were to guess, I'd could only assume he was attempting to make light of a horrible situation. I doubt it was meant to be hurtful, he's just a guy who doesn't think before he speaks.

I can't defend his actions because I think he's done a lot of really fucked up things, but I will say on this, I think he's doing what's right. Even if it is in his own Trump crazy man way.

No but some of the people in Antifa are making the others look bad. It's sad because they have a great cause but people get out of hand when they are passionate about things.

Wall Street needs to be reclassified as douche street.

try watching that while listening to Einsturzende Neubauten

[Chankgeez]

That's a good idea. Or listen to Trump while watching:

5 minutes into Marc Maron and he's already 10 times better than all the other comedians I've seen talking about Trump.

Everything I've ever heard from Marc Maron confirms this is true, without even hearing it. The guy knows narcissistic dysfunction backwards and forwards. When you get a lot of experience with addicts and fucked up parents, after a while you see certain types of people and just go "oh yeah, I recognize you".
