Get Your Little Hands Off Twitter You Nasty Little Critter. (2 October 2017)
Former Puerto Rico Attorney General Jose Fuentes and CNN political commentator Maria Cardona get heated while talking about the President’s tweets attacking the mayor of San Juan.
Trump’s Puerto Rico event was way worse than his tweets. President Donald Trump faced a major test on Tuesday as he traveled to storm-ravaged Puerto Rico: Show the American citizens struggling for survival on the island that he understood their plight, sympathized with them and was doing everything in his power to make it better as quickly as he could.
He failed. Hugely.
Soon after touching down in Puerto Rico, Trump said the following to government officials:
“Every death is a horror, but if you look at a real catastrophe like Katrina, and you look at the tremendous — hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that died, and you look at what happened here, with really a storm that was just totally overpowering, nobody’s ever seen anything like this. What is your death count as of this moment? 17? 16 people certified, 16 people versus in the thousands. You can be very proud of all of your people and all of our people working together. Sixteen versus literally thousands of people. You can be very proud. Everybody around this table and everybody watching can really be very proud of what’s taken place in Puerto Rico.” How about that suggesting that what happened in Puerto Rico — an entire island devastated, huge swaths without power, food and water in short supply — wasn’t a “real” catastrophe because not that many people died?
Or, what about using death count as a talking point? Yes, it’s true that far more people died in Katrina (1,800+) than did in Maria (16). But, for the families of the 16 who died, that loss is no less heart-breaking. Loss of life is loss of life. And we’re not even dealing with the thousands of people whose lives have been fundamentally altered, forever, as a result of this storm — for whom things will never be the same and may well be far, far worse.
