Trump dedicates golf trophy to hurricane victims

Source: The Hill

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.

I'm sure it will give great comfort to people drinking muddy water to know that somewhere far away, a golf trophy was dedicated in their names. One can only imagine the relief on the faces of the people of Puerto Rico.

If we turn off the Fake News and focus on tweets and PR releases it's clear he's the smartest and most sincere president in history, except maybe Mallard Fillmore.

Wow, an actual golfing trophy! You can't buy one of those at a garage sale.

just to remove this shit-stain from office!!! There HAVE TO BE repercussions for him to deter any future idiots from emulating Trump.

For the moment, the best gesture for Puerto Ricans would be a ceremonious planting of that trophy in his flabby ASS!

16. Did President Obama Ever Attend the President's Cup?

I am not in any way trying to criticize President Obama. I am asking the question because I never heard of President Obama ever presenting the trophy to the American team, or the winning team. I thought sure the President's Cup was played in America while President Obama was President. I am under the impression that the President's Cup is played in the United States certain years and in foreign countries other years.

I am not trying to criticize President Obama for not presenting the President's Cup to the winning team. My point is that for all the criticism President Obama got from the right for supposedly golfing too much he, as far as I know, never spent time at a golf tournament. Donald Trump has been to two golf tournaments since entering the White House. One of those tournaments happened to be right in the middle of hurricane relief efforts not just in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, but in Texas and Florida. Trump should have been at the White House trying to lead the hurricane relief efforts.
