I mean they are white so maybe?



Puerto Rico was a part of Spain for 400 years before we got it right around 1900. Spaniards are white just like the majority of Americans.

Sure but there are many different colors in Puerto Rico. Not just white.

Of course, nowhere is 100% ethnically pure. Europeans wiped out most of the aboriginals many centuries ago. As I’m sure you are aware.

My mind is unable to accept that such a person has been elected POTUS, and that he is still in place despite his attitude, actions and inactions.

I am speechless when I read his tweets. I am saddened when I see that man destroying everything his predecessor built. I am baffled that there aren't massive protest demonstrations all over your country requesting for him to quit. I am appalled that he still has 30% favorable opinions or so.

How can this be reality? How?

probably apathy

I literally laughed out loud. Un-be-freaking-lieveable.

Dude thinks he's playing a first-person shooter.

American natural disasters are so much bigger!

Puerto Rico cant even do natural disasters right.

USA! USA! USA!

 

[PadWarrior]

It's only getting better.

Good grief.
Never knew he could be this bad. This is unreal.

 

[m_dorian]

Terrible is Trump.

 

[rokkerkory]

You can't even make this shit up folks

 

[Abhor]

My username is fitting for this.

I ABHOR Trump, his mindless voting base, and the GOP.

 

[Osahi]

He is already the Worst President in History.

Fixed.

What a despicable man. And the thing is, It’s as much pure stupidity of a man oblivious of how to act in the position he is in, as it is racism

 

[To Far Away Times]

You can tell he's seething that his has to spend money on brown people.

 

[darkwing]

where is his chief of staff lols

“Why don’t they ask Mexico for help gawd! They both speak Mexican right??”

 

[iammeiam]

Sounds like he's trying to say that he's proud of the fact they kept the death toll relatively low compared to Katrina instead of what article headline is. He's still saying it in his normal horrifically ineloquent fashion though.

My understanding is that over half of Puerto Rico still has no access to potable water. The vast majority are still without power. People have been unable to get in touch with people in the area. The crisis is still ongoing, and we do not have any sort of comprehensive and accurate count of deaths and likely will not for a while.

That is not a situation where you brag about a low body count, because realistically we don't know, and it's not over yet.

Trump chose to storm into that situation, pat himself on the back for keeping things from getting TOO bad (and, again, my current understanding is that conditions are still bad enough in general that there are areas still without aid), bitch about the cost, and then jump-shot paper towels at people. Yes, it's just because he's incapabale of talking about anything without puffing himself up, by that doesn't make it any less of a gigantic failure of leadership.

He made it about himself, because he's incapable of basic empathy. There's no way to spin either the words he picked or the meaning he was trying to convey as anything other than heartless and completely unworthy of the position of the President.

I kind of missed this, but WTF! I can't imagine being someone that lost someone and your President act like this.

 

[hydragonwarrior]

Maybe... hopefully... this is enough for ppl who voted Trump without thinking any better (not talking about the racists etc.) to go "Yeah maybe he wasn't such a good idea."

 

[Skinny Pete]

As others have said I never could imagine his presidency would be this bad. Every week it gets worse and worse. He really is a terrible human being and to anyone who voted for him a big FUCK YOU!

 

[Electric Eye]

Maybe... hopefully... this is enough for ppl who voted Trump without thinking any better (not talking about the racists etc.) to go "Yeah maybe he wasn't such a good idea."

These people better pray or whatever they do to hope a natural disaster/any disaster doesn't happen to them or a loved one because this guy just doesn't give a fuck.

 

[Version 3.0]

I was actually half expecting Trump to say something along these lines about the Vegas mass shooting. Like it was not record-setting, or something.

Then he didn't. I was relieved...for one day. And now this.

Have you seen a puerto rican in real life?

 

[Skellig Gra]

Have you seen a puerto rican in real life?

I lived in NYC for many years and have visited the island many times. The population is 75% white on the island and they are direct descendants of the original Spanish colonists who are/were white.

All good my friend.

I would literally want to power wash anything that man touched. He makes everything tacky and gross everywhere he goes.

There's video of him shooting the paper towels out into the crowd.

not even bounty. it's the cheap shit that doesn't soak up anything.

I'm not denying the history there, but I'm friends with and work with quite a few Puerto Ricans and literally none of them consider themselves white at all.

 

[neorej]

Dude didn't know his wife was with him in Fort Myers while she was standing next to him.

 

[Skellig Gra]

All good my friend.

How about that mofongo tho?

Ok well it’s certainly possible they are in the minority with Caribbean/African roots. I mean I know lots of black people in America and they make up less than 15% of the total population.

 

[Tonedeff]

God damn it, fuck this dude man. Like, why?

 

[darkwing]

video? this is hilarious and sad at the same time

 

[bob_arctor]

Disagree. The thread title (which, to be fair is also the article title) is something that Trump never said and a large chunk of the posters on Neogaf don't bother to read the actual articles. Getting people riled up about something Trump clearly did not say is not productive.

"What's your death count?"

I literally laughed out loud. Un-be-freaking-lieveable.

I mean, you can argue that point if you want, but the sentiment remains the same.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

Eat shit you fucking piece of garbage .

 

[chefbags]

You have my sword

Same.

I'm Puerto Rican, both my parents were born and raised on the island. My Dad is Taino, so he's brown, meanwhile my mom is a red head with green eyes and pale skin and can pass for Irish.

 

[supernormal]

I mean he literally dedicated his Golf Trophy to the PR victims. He's basically mocking them at this point

 

[Sky Interloper]

This is the most callous thing I have ever heard from a leader of a country in the middle of a humanitarian crisis. Is this guy real? Is he waiting for mountains and mountains of corpses in the middle of the streets before he stops belittling the government of a territory of the United States?

 

[GreyWind]

Disgusting! I hate this man.

 

[narcolovely]

Bush didn't care about black people, so I guess Trump doesn't care about Hispanics - even if they are American Citizens. Sigh.... I miss Obama

All those paper towels are supposed to be for keeping the trophy shiny.

Yeah I mean the cultural imprint of the Taíno is evident. Especially in the cuisine.

It's just paraphrased. He did say "real catastrophe" in a comparison. That means the other one is not "real" in his opinion. That's how that phrasing is used.

Granted, Trump isn't very good at thinking or speaking, but this was crystal clear. He did say it, and meant it.

 

[Game-Biz]

Thank God I got in some decent anti-anxiety prescriptions this year. Get any C grade or above student from any random junior high school and you'll have a better president.

Fuck, man.

Nope, no one on GAF actually watched the video or read the article. No one but Tatsumaki that is!

Absolutely disgusting. Donald is an oxygen thief.

I kept waiting for someone to throw the towels back at him.

 

[AJLma]

They look up to the fact that he can be as inept a fuck as he wants to be, in a seat of power and responsibility, and that no one can do anything about it, because he's white.
