9/14/18: The president apparently learns his lesson after pretty much everyone says he sounds like an ass arguing about how many people died in Puerto Rico.
Meanwhile, another hurricane smashes into North and South Carolina and floods large parts of both states.
At first, Trump avoids fresh trouble. His first fifteen tweets today relate to hurricane warnings, “6 inches of moving water can knock an adult off their feet;” and if you are ordered to evacuate, “Turn off the gas, electricity.”
There’s even this: “RT @FEMAespanol: Hoy es el último día para desalojar. Si está en la ruta de #Florence, escuche a las autoridades locales para órdenes de de…”
Then: “Incredible job being done by FEMA, First Responders, Law Enforcement and all. Thank you!”
Which is to say, “I did this. Me. I organized this incredible
job being done. Me, myself and I. We all agree. I am the best.”
Eight more hurricane-warning-type tweets follow, which are fine. But Trump can’t help himself. Trump has to be Trump. Suddenly, he’s arguing about the death count in Puerto Rico again, using four tweets to defend himself and his record as the greatest hurricane savior of all time.
Finally, he wraps it up for the night at 10:08 p.m. with the most irrelevant tweet in the storied career of President Twitter Thumbs. “When President Obama said that he has been to ‘57 States,’ very little mention in Fake News Media. Can you imagine if I said that...story of the year!”
Having slammed his predecessor unnecessarily, content at
last, Twitter Thumbs trundles off to bed.
