He has very few social skills, most sociopaths don't.

I think Trump has a word for those victims. Losers.

Actually in context here's what he said:

It's been a wonderful thing. It's – as tough as this was, it's been a wonderful thing. I think even for the country to watch and for the world to watch. It's been beautiful.

Clearly he's talking about human spirit - not the hurricane itself.

Gee, spinning quotes at dizzying speeds has become an art form for the left...

The man could say God Bless you to someone who just sneezed, and the whole left would be up in arms that he's forcing religion down their throats. It would be all we heard about for weeks. They'd even rent billboards to ridicule him. It would show Trump wearing a priest's outfit while whipping his wife for her implied sins.

"Clearly".? Since when has he ever spoken clearly?

Trump Cites ‘Happiness’ At Texas Shelter As Harvey Death Toll Climbs – Talking Points Memo

Trump apparently thinks that watching hurricanes from a distance, is a great spectator-sport. But the disgust and alarm that so many have towards him right now, about his attitude concerning this disaster, is nothing compared to what they will feel, when they realize that he will actually deliver pitifully few resources to the recovery. Marie Antoinette, saying, "Let them eat cake", comes to mind.

It was clear to me, in the context of the speech. Did you watch it?

Wrong. The difference is "liberals" are smart enough to realize that saying a few nice words and promising to (someday) give away a fraction of your ill-gotten gains doesn't make you a good person. Trump is a horrible person who - like every horrible person in history - now and then does nice things. That doesn't make him a good person or forgive him of his years of bad behavior. Top that off with his obvious stupidity in this case, and it should be obvious why progressive aren't in love with him.

The number of threads around here praising Trump for every little thing he does is laughable. What's next? "Trump goes an entire day without saying something bigoted or stupid - he's the best president ever!" Come on...

I am not a big Trump fan and I think he often says off the wall stuff - including that comment. But it's not a hanging offense in my book. Overall, the people in the shelter seemed to respond very positively to him and that's what really matters most, I think.
