TRUMP'S LIES, DISINFORMATION & STUPIDITY!

 

MARY TRUMP published a commentary about the TODDLER's LIES that included a list of other catastrophes that have been politicized with LIES & DISINFORMATION & STUPIDITY: FROM MAY L. TRUMP: There were quite a few natural disasters between 2017 and 2021 that gave Donald the opportunity to demonstrated his unique combination of ignorance, indifference, and cruelty. 2017: Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. This was the first time many Americans got to see just how useless he was in an emergency. Worse, he also revealed his jaw-dropping lack of empathy. 2019: Hurricane Dorian descended upon the southeast. As it approached the east coast, Donald tweeted that Dorian was heading toward Alabama. It was not. The National Weather Service, whose job it is to inform the American people about weather-related emergencies, corrected him, tweeting, “Alabama will not see any impacts from Dorian.” Oh, the audacity. Donald did not handle this well because he is absolutely incapable of admitting he's wrong. In a fit of ego-driven stupidity, he took a Sharpie and altered a map of the hurricane’s path to include Alabama. 2020: Covid. For the first time in modern history, the leader of the United States of America, used a global crisis in the form of a pandemic to pit American states against each other. Then he divided American citizens against each other. He politicized wearing masks, the most simple and effective way to contain the spread of the virus. Then refused to take the crisis seriously. Because of his inaction, and his inability to course correct, and his inability to give a shit about other human beings, hundreds of thousands of Americans died needlessly. Every day in January, 2021, we lost more Americans than we had on September 11th, 2001. The Covid pandemic should have been an opportunity to unite the American people. Instead, it was one of the most divisive periods in our history and those divisions have only worsened over time. 2023: Tropical Storm Ophelia devastated parts of North Carolina bringing massive amounts of rainfall which caused storm surges and unprecedented flooding. Donald was out of power, but as a presidential candidate, he continued to have a platform from which to spread disinformation. He had a significant impact on the public's perception of the government’s disaster response and negatively influenced the ways in which victims understood the efforts of the Biden administration, in general and FEMA, in particular.
