Our president was just asked if he had words for the people of Texas. He said "good luck!"

Seriously, this guy couldn't be a bigger jerk. He doesn't care AT ALL that people in Texas are facing massive flooding, may lose their homes, may be displaced for weeks or months, etc. Our president couldn't even be bothered to FAKE some empathy for the people of Texas who voted for his scuzzy-haired ass. This was live on CNN, as he was departing for his happy little vacation at Camp David. You know, the guy who criticized President Obama constantly for golfing or going home to Hawaii. The guy who has alreDy gone golfing more times than Obama did in his entire presidency.

Really, there are apparently no limits to his lack of empathy for others.

I have had thoughts of Barron being really different than the rest of the TRUMP Klan. I don't know exactly what it is about him? Maybe like you pointed out he seems to be very nice with young kids & he is not doing things looking for attention when he obviously knows he could. Or maybe it is just me hoping there is just one decent person in the bunch. LOL!

Texas is the heart of his voting block, and it's also threatening to turn purple in the next decade.

If there's anywhere Trump needs to be impressive in order to help himself, it's this situation.

Everything must focus on him being center of attention, not total eclipses and not hurricanes, so expect him to make a big deal about all of his phone calls to Texas officials, his trip to Texas next week and how the officials are all thanking him for his fantastic assistance.

This is Texas, which he won, and he still doesn't give a damn. He hates everyone except the people who come to his rallies, wearing his stuff that makes him money, and saying good things about him. Truly, he hates every single person in the US who didn't vote for him. When it comes to his profits, nothing else matters to him, not even his base. That's why he'll kill ACA when it's his folks who will be hurt the most, but those taxes have to go, according to him.
