I would add a serious international crisis being massively mishandled by Trump, risking or even costing US lives by blundering.

Maybe, though if the handling of Puerto Rico wasn't enough I'm not sure what would. Maybe a million South Koreans dying from Trump provoking North Korea would do it.

Well thank goodness that neither of those states have any debt ;)

I know, right?

Check out this madness: Trump seems ready to pull aid from Puerto Rico. He took a different tone with Texas and Florida.

"TEXAS: We are with you today, we are with you tomorrow, and we will be with you EVERY SINGLE DAY AFTER, to restore, recover, and REBUILD," he wrote.​

To Florida:

"Just like TX, WE are w/you today, we are w/you tomorrow, & we will be w/you EVERY SINGLE DAY AFTER, to RESTORE, RECOVER, & REBUILD," he wrote.​

Either Trump 1) doesn't realize that Puerto Ricans are American citizens, 2) doesn't care because they can't vote for or against him, or 3) figures the bulk of his supporters don't know or don't care, so he uses the situation to make himself look tough.

Google tells me:
Texas debt: 59.4 million
Florida: 23.6 million
PR: 70 billion

So yeah, billion is much more bigly than million, so it is justified.

It's probably a combination of 2 & 3. There's also no easy win in Puerto Rico and it's only going to get him bad press so he wants to bail thinking that will stop the press.

The Puerto Rican debt is something special. Perhaps they should just go bankrupt : Trump could hardly criticise them for that.

Which is not to say he wouldn't, of course.

States and territories are not allowed to declare bankruptcy.

The mind boggles at the hypocrisy.

If you are within sight or earshot of the retreat ceremony and are in the military, you stop and salute and are silent, period. The POTUS should set an example.God, what a turd.

“President Donald Trump clearly had no clue” Now there is a line that will be popping up for writers in auto suggest .
 
Donnie would not have lasted one week in the real military.

And I might be way too generous in the time I allotted him....

It’s a fairly limited constituency but large fan base the GOP has.

Trump's ignorance about the economy:

Trump just claimed stock market gains actually offset national debt.
In a Wednesday evening interview, President Donald Trump suggested that recent stock market gains were helping to reduce the national debt
The two measures — private sector valuations and public debt — have no obvious correlation, and both actually grew markedly during the Obama administration

Then there is the absolute lie the GOP is telling that businesses which save money on taxes will pass the savings on to employees.

:jaw-dropp

We need to get these idiots out of office before the country implodes.
 
Good evening. It only gets worse....
