Want to lose your lunch? Want to lose your dinner and breakfast, too? If not, then don't watch this video of Donald Trump's visit to a disaster relief Center in Puerto Rico during which he gleefully tosses rolls of paper towels one by one into a crowd of Hurricane Maria survivors: https://www.youtube.co/watch?v=kEe7_zgZbuI These are disaster victims suffering the terrible devastation of their island. Their infrastructure and power grid have been destroyed. They've lost their homes, some have lost every material possession, some have lost family members. These people are in dire need of the basic necessities to survive, of food, water, clothing and shelter.
And in strolls Donald Trump, all well-fed and fresh from his long golf weekend at his private New Jersey country club, giving himself a round of applause then picking up rolls of paper towels and lobbing them at the hurricane survivors as if he were practicing basketball shots, as if this were all great fun, as if he were some pompous, pampered, puffed-up 18th Century royal out for a bit of amusement belittling the subjects. So arrogant. So degrading. So disgusting. And afterwards congratulating himself for all the "love in the room." Watching Donald Trump demean those people in that way made my stomach hurt.
That video says it all. References:
