Because until anything is refuted the comment could be 100% true. If it's it's tasteless and false then the issue was that it was tasteless. If it's true it doesn't matter that it was tasteless, it's still true.


who cares if it's true????

Lol this just gets more ridiculous as the topic goes on. Can we move on from this non issue now?

it's obviously true that we've spent money on hurricane relief aid and it's affected the budget. who cares if it's true? it's a tasteless thing to say to the faces of people who desperately need the aid.

Jen's point is that it being true doesn't really affect it being offensive. If you go up to someone who's mom just died in an accident and start saying to them "Wow, she really got smashed up huh? Oh well, not as bad as that train accident the other day. Just so you know, I wanted to be playing racquetball today but I had to come down here and talk to you about your dead mom, but that's fine.", does it matter if that's all true or not?

When people are dying, the budget takes a backseat. That's Politics 101.

In the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster, you stabilize things and you get people safe; the time to worry about paying for it will come later.

What Trump said - that all these hurricanes FUBAR'd the budget - is probably true. That doesn't mean it isn't a dumb thing to say, especially given that he was saying it while standing in front of the people who were suffering from this disaster.

And the fact that he's joking doesn't really help the situation. There's a time and a place for jokes; the immediate aftermath of a natural disaster is neither (see also: Gilbert Godfried and the Fukushima disaster).

Video and press reports from the event show Trump tossing paper towels into the crowd. He is also seen handing out flashlights.

Flashlights? You dont need em anymore, Trump said. You dont need em.

It was unclear what exactly Trump meant when he suggested people no longer needed flashlights. More than 90 percent of the island remains without electricity following the Category 4 storm, which severely damaged Puerto Rico's electrical grid.

Why... Why was he handing out flashlights that he said people didn't need

Wouldn't that be extra wasteful of tax money

Of course that's not wasteful. SKARDAVNELNATE says Trump is concerned with the budget and economy. He'd never waste taxpayer money.

"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"


That whole quote is wow

this actually seems good for PR:
