Terrible Leadership from our President. Spending time complaining about players taking a knee during a National Anthem rather than using that time in dealing with the crisis in Puerto Rico.

Yeah, that’s it.  You nailed it.  So perceptive.  Except... troops were sent over to help within 3 days of the storm, and thousands of containers of supplies are already in port.  The president is required to handle several incidents at one time, he cannot focus on only one or two.

We don't need to follow anyone's narrative, we are adults and have our own informed view.   The president puts himself in a bad light with his tweets from the golf course.  It is really too bad that he undermines the bravery and effort of the responders and the Puerto Rican people with such unfortunate labels. 

Except the left wing media is presenting their own political view.  I could not care less what the president is doing as long as actions are happening which they have been since the storm passed regardless of the Katrina narrative the main stream left biased press is trying to push.

If you are so bothered by left wing media shut the TV off and go do something constructive.

Calling professional althetes so3s was a crisis he made for himself.

Which had absolutely nothing to do with what was going on in PR regardless of how hard the MDL tries to connect the two.

The two are connected, because a real president would have focused on the real issue, which was the PR situation, not free speech at a football game.

A real President was focused on PR as we have seen if you read through the biased left wing media narratives.

Keep spinning that narrative, it is getting as tired as the whole Russian collusion joke.

I know what that president said and tweeted. I don't need to be told what to think of how useless and mean he can be in those moments. But knock yourself out defending the presidents leadership style.

True. Obama and 4 other real Presidents were focused on PR. unfortunately, so-called president Trump was more concerned with the right of free speech in the NFL.

A fundraising campaign launched by all five of the living former U.S. presidents has added Hurricane Maria, which hit Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands earlier this month, to its appeal for recovery relief.

The campaign, titled “One America Appeal,” will allow donors to contribute funds to United for Puerto Rico and The Fund for the Virgin Islands. Both are 501(c)(3) organizations.

 

Individuals can now donate to Hurricane Maria relief, as well as to recovery efforts for Hurricane Irma and Hurricane Harvey.

Interesting, apparently they are taking the playbook from Bill Clinton and finding new ways to make money.

Who is defending the president?  What I am defending is the work being done by the first responders and military personnel that are down there doing the work to rebuild PR.  If I were to believe the left wing press, these folks still haven’t arrived.

Five real Presidents at that. Little child Donald still has a long way to go.

I think I now know why Trump rescinded the White House invitation from the Golden State Warriors. He showed his basketball skills at Puerto Rico today.
