Kinda like Hypocrite in Chief Trump was always there to whine about President Obama doing something, eh?
What should Presidents do? Pace to and fro in the Oval Office wringing their hands?
There's no good reason for a President to sit glued to a TV tracking the hurricane until it makes land-fall and continues on.
There's no good reason for a President to micro-manage the situation, either.
Life goes on. People who live in hurricane-prone areas are going to be subject to hurricanes. It's just one of the realities. If and when there is an appropriate time for a sitting President to survey damage in an area without interfering with or hampering rescue and recovery operations, then they can do that.
Just because a President doesn't meet your overly bizarre expectations doesn't make them a poor President.
And what exactly did Trump think Obama should have been doing 8 days after Superstorm Sandy hit? Because whatever that was, it's what Trump should have been doing, since he criticized Obama for not doing it. But we know for sure it wasn't going to a campaign rally - we know because that's what Trump himself said
Trump said he didn't want to disappoint his followers by cancelling Of course he shouldn't travel to the eye of the storm, but shouldn't he at least pretend to care about hurricane victims?
It's gotten to the point where you just have to laugh at the hypocrisy of the Rethuglians. Of course they have a million reasons why it's ok for Trump to do what he criticized Obama for doing. The funniest thing is that they even deny they are being hypocrites.
Golfer in chief has to have broken the golf record at this point, yet all he could do before was tweet like a hypocrite when Obama golfed. Too bad tweets are forever.
The SS has spent millions on his protection at the various courses. Thank God he gave up his $400k a year in salary. Trumptards probably can't do the math to figure out how badly trump is single handedly raping the Treasury between Ss protection at trump tower, mar de lago and all of the family members
So can you please explain the Dear Leader's ODS and why Trump went so low. He seemed upset that Obama campaigned a week after Sandy--wasn't while it was a raging storm, which is exactly what Trump did. Held a rally right after his fundraiser while Hurricane Michael destroyed parts of the country.
Trump:
".....Yesterday Obama campaigned with JayZ & Springsteen while Hurricane Sandy victims across NY & NJ are still decimated by Sandy. Wrong!..."
That is my question. As to the OP, I don't really have a problem with him "doing his thing in PA while a storm hits FL", I have a problem though, if "Doing his thing" is to non-stop campaign while he is not doing his job.
Surely, there are more important things to do than feeding his ever-starved ego?
But to OP, I hate (HATE) the way Trump is doing his job, I am NOT a supporter, but I really think it's overkill to expect him cancel events in PA. If you would have started the thread saying he never should have scheduled it in the first place (so he could, you know, DO HIS JOB), I would have been on board with you.
Y'all DO realize a very,very critical election cycle is almost here. Y'all DO realize (or maybe you don't) that as head of the Republican party it's his job to do what he can to get his party members elected/re-elected right?
Y'all DO realize that (so far) every candidate he's endorsed or campaigned for has had a large boost in points right?
Gotta look at the big picture instead of just the picture on your boob tube...
