Tweetizen Trump – 2017-10-01: “Again with the Tweeting!”

Donald! It’s been weeks and weeks since I’ve delved into your Twitter stream. Honestly, it stopped being fun repeating the same mantra (“That’s untrue, Donald. That’s a distortion, Donald. You already said that, Donald. That’s silly, Donald. That’s unbecoming, Donald.”) every day.

But, hey, this weekend seems to have been a perfect storm of Twittiness that bears at least some acknowledgment. So let’s remember how we were doing this zaniness and have at, starting with Saturday morning!

PUERTO RICO (and the US VIRGIN ISLANDS)

What remains a deep, dark, terrible mystery in your Presidency, Donald, is how seriously to take you. When you make comments like this, should we assume that you actually believe (maybe because Fox News told you) that the media are actually saying harsh things government relief workers in Puerto Rico? Should we assume that you believe criticism of the magnitude (or lack thereof) of the relief effort is a criticism of the hard, painful, backbreaking work being done on the ground? Or should we read this as a casual ploy to deflect criticism of you, Donald, into being criticism of those relief workers?

In other words, Donald, are you nuts, or simply lying? I look forward to the answers in the history books of the future.

In the meantime, Donald, cite your facts. Tell us where CNN or NBC are “disparaging” FEMA and other relief workers on the ground. What specifically have they said?

In fact, the White House was asked about specific coverage, and didn’t have any answers. And a review of those networks’ coverage shows that they talked about the clear hardships being experienced there, the problems in getting relief to people around the island because of its devastated infrastructure, and criticism of the job that you and your administration (not the boots on the ground) were doing in addressing the problems.

Nobody’s criticizing those “First Responders.” They’re criticizing you.

(By the way, I’m not sure “First Responders” is the correct term here. That is usually reserved for Police and Fire Fighting folk. Disaster relief is a bit different. Again, this could be simple terminology confusion on your part, or could be an intentional effort to make it seem like the media is criticizing Fire Fighters and Police about Puerto Rico.)

Well, I guess that’s better than hanging out in New Jersey over the weekend and playing golf (even if you did nobly dedicate the golf trophy to hurricane victims).

So what are you planning on doing there, Donald? Will this in any way reflect an increase or escalation in government effort to assist the disaster relief efforts? Or just be another photo op?

No, the media are working overtime to show how your authorized efforts are inadequate to the task. They aren’t blaming soldiers, etc., they are blaming you. And you’re trying to dodge it.

Great people, yes. Amazing job, certainly by the individuals there. Adequate job to the task? Really, it seems not.

So when people don’t complain, and instead praise you, then you lavish them with complements. When someone, like Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz of San Juan, says that efforts aren’t happening fast enough and that people are suffering and dying, you criticize their leadership and their people.

That is, perhaps, very human of you, Donald (nobody likes being called out for criticism) — but not very leaderly.

Also, it helps explain in party why some people choose to complement you.

They would respond, Donald, but they have no power or cell phone infrastructure to see your tweet.

Sigh. I would reply to each of your tweets, Donald, but they all fall into the same pattern: complement people who are complementing you, assert that you are doing incredible stuff, pretend that criticism of you is criticism of relief workers on the ground, accuse Fake News of being fake. Lather, rinse, repeat.

So let’s just quote the tweets for effect.

 

That one came with a nine minute video with the caption “KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK & IGNORE THE FAKE NEWS! I want everybody on the ground in PR & USVI assisting in Hurricane Maria relief efforts to know that we are grateful & thankful to all of you! Ignore the FAKE NEWS & keep up the GREAT WORK! THANK YOU!”

I will leave it at that, except to suggest that “all buildings now inspected for safety” in Puerto Rico, an island of 3.4 million, where trucks can’t even bring food and water supplies, is so ludicrous as to not even warrant a snort.

I mean, come on, Donald — at least pretend to be giving us an accurate report.

AND IN OTHER CRITICAL LEADERSHIP NEWS …

You then retweeted:

https://twitter.com/SLandinSoCal/status/912099544975806464

So let me say this about that:

1. Compelled political speech — and, yes, this is political speech — is not only unconstitutional as a government order, but unseemly as a suggestion.

2. Why do you get to dictate what people are actually protesting about?

3. This, this is what you are spending time tweeting about, both these and other messages last week? In what universe is this a national priority that deserves the Bully Pulpit?

Heck, someone might think you were merely trying to rile up some support after, I don’t know, you failed (once again) to repeal Obamacare, had to fire your HHS Secretary, faced mounting criticism over Puerto Rico, and ran out of schoolyard insults toward North Korea.

4. This is pretty much the same hand-waving you did above regarding “If anyone is criticizing me, they are criticizing the hard-working folk on the ground in Puerto Rico.” Asserting that criticism of the how our nation is handling one piece of public policy (albeit a profoundly important piece) is somehow spitting in the faces of military alive and dead and denigrating everything our nation stands for is silly at best, and dangerously offensive at worst.

5. I will throw out to your supporters this particular piece I found online.

If you voted for someone who said he prefers soldiers who don’t get captured, who insulted the parents of a gold star captain, who said he knew more than the generals, who said he always wanted a Purple Heart, who dodged the draft, and who called the US military a disaster, please don’t pretend that you’re angry at those who kneel during the anthem because it’s disrespectful to our military.

And if you voted for that person because he’s not politically correct and he says what’s on his mind, please don’t tell me that kneeling during the anthem is wrong.

And if you voted for a reality show star because he’s an outsider and not a career politician, please don’t tell me that athletes shouldn’t voice their political views.

And if you voted for him because he cares about the Constitution, please don’t tell me that people shouldn’t exercise their right to free speech.

And if you voted for him because, despite his wealth and comfortable life, he was willing to go out there, be made a target, and say what’s really wrong with this country, please don’t tell me that black athletes should just shut up and be grateful to be rich.

In other words, Donald, there’s no reason to listen to you as a moral authority on this subject (or, in my opinion, any subject.)

THAT’S STRANGE …

I’m sure Luther Strange comforts himself with that thought now every night he goes to sleep.

I mean, how freaking insecure do you have to be, Donald, to be saying, “Well, hey, even though I said he’d be elected, even though I campaigned hard for him, even though he lost, at least he rose in the polls because of me”?

Hell, even Breitbart snickered over that one.

It also doesn’t help your case, when you start deleting tweets you made in support of Strange. Yeesh.

AND IN CASE ANYONE HAD STOPPED WORRYING ABOUT NUCLEAR WAR …

That’s just great, Donald. People are really nervous about North Korea, and the prospect of nuclear-tipped DPRK missles landing on Guam … or Hawaii … or Alaska … or the West Coast of the US. Or even Japan, or South Korea, or pretty much anywhere.

And then, after the world watching you and Kim trade insults like gang chieftains in a back alley, we learned, much to some relief, that there were actual diplomatic channels open between Us and Them — nothing guaranteed, but, for the love of God, people actually talking and negotiating, rather than double-dog daring each other. Tillerson, your Secretary of State, even reassured us that “Americans should sleep well at night.”

Which … you then pissed all over, undercutting your own chief of foreign policy. Again.

I’m sure that Americans will sleep even better, knowing you are at the helm.

  17. +Poet of the Light I'm not really much of a Grammar Nazi. But I found it amusing that she referred to the commenting liberals as having an elementary mentality, while commenting in all caps, and using bad grammar. Bad grammar I can handle, I use it myself frequently. Hypocrisy, not so much.

    Trying to track this independently so that something 'Real' gets tracked down there instead of the political stupidity we are seeing far too much of now..

    Puerto Rico, for everyone out there, is an island that is 1200 nautical miles away from Florida, which was devastated as well last month and is also still rebuilding. Puerto Rico has 11 sea ports, 8 of which are restored for deliveries of some kind however only one of those can handle container ships. Puerto Rico has 3 airports, but only one of those survived the hurricane and the US Air Force should have that one working shortly. The airport will be able to handle 240 flights a day was working with only 2-3 flights per hour all landing on visual cues until two days ago.

    Because the power is out across more than half of the island and 90% of the cell tower repeaters were knocked out, cell phones are only marginally operational. Ham Radio stations are now the best means of contacting anyone down there.

    Florida and Texas received FEMA and Federal Aid immediately…. why? Because it was driven in on trucks and flown in on aircraft and taken out of nearby storage areas. National Guard units were activated and they immediately moved in to begin helping out.

    Puerto Rico has a National Guard and it has been activated, but remember…. that is the Puerto Rican Governors responsibility and his people… National Guard units are not FEDERAL they belong to the STATE.

    FEMA delivered as much Aid as they could starting Sept 12th, and some of it has yet to be distributed by the Puerto Rican authorities who control it all.

    FEMA distribution points have been set up all across the island. These have Medical supplies, Basic needs, and can be used as long as the container ships in San Juan harbor can continue to deliver the supplies out on the road network.

    The USS Kearsarge got down there Sept 23rd with the 26th Marines, the USNS Comfort and USS Oak Hill (a Naval Hospital ship and Mobile Docking ship) are arriving Oct 3rd The USS Wasp is operating off of Vieques island near the US Virgin Islands. Almost 30 vessels of the US Military and Coast Guard are there now, and more are on the way. All headed for an island that has only one port big enough for all of them to anchor in….

    For the San Juan Mayor to say that they are about to "suffer from a Genocide" is pure political hype and I am glad that Trump shut her down… because in doing so he has defended all of the US Military and other Federal workers that have already flown, sailed down there and are putting their lives at risk to help out. If you buy inot her hype, supported by the media for their ratings then I am truly sad for you.

    All she had to do (in my mind) was acknowledge that any of what I just said was happening… but she didn't… she screamed out that she was not getting enough…

    Because of her statements I now have to wonder what resources will be politically driven to be re-directed to Puerto Rico instead of going to Florida or Texas… both of which were also devastated and both of which are still digging out themselves.Everyone has needs, and the logistics of delivering those requirements are what I am trained and skilled at doing…

    We have a lot on our plates to deal with, and yes I say 'We' because I am an American and I believe that we have a great country staffed by great people and that we are all trying to do good things… we need the politicians and the new media to back the hell off and let us do our jobs….

  21. +Poet of the Light Most of what he stated in that list are facts you can take ten seconds to confirm with a search engine of your choice. Why do you and many that support trump deny truths that don't fit your agenda? You trump supporters accuse 'liberals' of ignoring news that doesn't fit their agenda, then you turn around and label facts as 'fake news'

    Reply

  24. +Poet of the Light Your 'playing the fence' act is a straight lie. Each and every item on that list is a fact, and you refuse to accept that. If it wasn't four in the morning I'd link you a reputable news page for each and every single one of trump's fuck-ups. Considering it's only his first year, it's staggering that the he's fucked up enough for there to be a list in the first place. The fact that you passively refuse to be critical of trump while being critical of anyone challenging trump is telling in and of itself.

  26. +Getsuga Tsunentaiga Clearly you hate those polemic to your presumed absolute truths no matter what time it is. Circular reasoning often works for those unwilling to admit they might be wrong in whole or part. Debate with yourself and tell me who wins…I'm sure your truth will reveal your version of honesty.

  29. +Poet of the Light You're admitting to being a trump supporter while using a strawman to escape a discussion you clearly can't handle. There's nothing wrong about facts, that's why they're called facts. The fact is that you refuse to be critical of trump while attempting to belitte people with your trusty thesauras. Honestly, you may as well go full 'GOD EMPOROR' mode because you lack the credibility of a rational person.

  30. +Black Star Researching and proffering all the facts you prefer and need to fit your agenda is called intellectual dishonesty but I hear liberals call it common core understandings instead.

As a matter of fact, you only seemed concerned with talking down to others now that the political aspect has been defeated.

  49. People are free to criticize you, if you're free to criticize them. I don't know if you've put a lot of work into this, but it really is going to do nothing. Trump supporters will continue to see you as just another liberal asshead while the liberals will see this as another one of their fellows trying to be heard. Bystanders like me; we don't really care much, even if we probably should.

  51. President Trump dispatched 140 helicopters, 28 ships, 6 Army field hospitals, 3 Navy Seabee Battalions, 5 US Army Combat Engineer Battalions, 3 Civil Affairs battalions, 2 Nuclear Submarines capable of generating 2.8 Gigawatts of Power, and released 300,000 tons of food, medical supplies and water from Military stocks to Puerto Rico.
    Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello praised President Trump for his rapid response to Hurricane Maria, adding that the American island is still struggling to recover from “the biggest catastrophe in modern history for Puerto Rico.
    Gov. Rossello and other officials lauded President Trump and the Federal government for * having a comprehensive relief plan in place before the storm hit.*
    Resident Commission Jenniffer Gonzalez, Puerto Rico’s non-voting congressional representative, explained that President Trump’s response is a welcome change from previous administrations. “This is the first time we get this type of federal coordination,” she added.
    It's an island and ports were damaged and roads were impassable. The ships were waiting to dock to deliver the supplies. Trump didn't delay his response, they had to repair damage before the ships could dock. Now, there are tons and tons of supplies there but the local truck drivers aren't showing up to drive the trucks. Even if they did, I heard more than half the roads are damaged. So now they are airlifting in supplies to inaccessible areas. What more can Trump do?
    Puerto Rico’s main port opened Saturday allowing 11 ships stocked full of federal aid to dock. The ships delivered 23,000 cots, 1.6 million gallons of water, food, and generators. Many more ships are scheduled to arrive over the next few days. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials arrived with the ships and brought satellite phones to all of the island’s towns and cities.
    Still, the media keeps pushing the narrative that the federal government, and Trump, is ignoring Puerto Rico because he hates Hispanics. In other words, fake news. How long are people going to keep falling for the same old lies? When are you going to realize you are being manipulated (willingly) so as to purposely divide the country?

  52. Okay, I've cleaned out most of the trolls (and quite a few other comments that were just ad hominem exchanges). Please don't keep feeding them.

    I would respond to Rue Hill's actually on-topic points, except that a look at her profile shows she's spammed them to a dozen different sites, and isn't really interested in talking about it.
