President Trump on Sunday dedicated a golf trophy to the victims of recent powerful storms that tore through Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico, all the while defending the government's response to the disasters.


"On behalf of all of the people of Texas, and all of the people -- if you look today and see what is happening, how horrible it is but we have it under really great control -- Puerto Rico and the people of Florida who have really suffered over this last short period of time with the hurricanes, I want to just remember them," the president said.

"And we're going to dedicate this trophy to all of those people that went through so much that we love -- a part of our great state, really part of our great nation," he continued.

Trump's remarks were made as he presented the trophy to U.S. captain Steve Strickler following the Presidents Cup golf tournament in New Jersey.

The president's administration has been under fire for allegedly failing to do enough to help Puerto Rico as a majority of its 3.4 million residents struggle with widespread power outages, collapsed infrastructure and ongoing shortages of water and supplies in Hurricane Maria's wake.

The White House has defended its response to the crisis, while some officials in Puerto Rico say the situation is turning into a humanitarian disaster.

The president is scheduled to travel to Puerto Rico on Tuesday.

Trump really thinks of himself like a Jesus figure. The love people have for Trump is really all they need. At least that's how he is sounding these days.

Edit: Ah he didn't even fucking win.

Donald Trump is a whole bitch as is all of his voters.

People can't eat trophies, trophies ain't gonna fix infrastructure.

 

[Mutanthands]

Isn’t it usually the winner of the trophy that gets to dedicate it? Classic Trump ego.

This is your president.

I don't claim this mothafucka. Obama is still my President. Fuck this shit.

There was a locked thread like 30 mins ago, but not sure why that though.

I can't understand how it is not acceptable to have a discussion on how incredibly negative Obama was on playing golf, and unquestionably, Trump has played more golf, while calling PR a bunch of unorganized freeloaders when multiple hurricanes just ripped through.

Wasn't this thread just locked?

Guess I'll just say Trump is an asshole before the mods lock this up again.
