Donnie Bad Touch and the Turd Reich
First, Dickwad Donnie, everyone’s favorite racist president, ignores the disaster in Puerto Rico for most of a week, and instead spends his time bloviating, blathering, bullshitting and blowing dog-whistles about some ”ungrateful, spoiled, BLACK!, millennial, millionaire” football players … I mean how dare those black men defy him, Donald J. Fucking Trump, fucking president of the United Fucking States of Goddamned White America and protest in public …In public??!? … How dare they!! And why can’t their ‘owners’ get a handle on this and make them do as Donnie sez? Fuck me, my head hurts …
When the president finally did acknowledge the crisis in Puerto Rico – on the fifth day after Hurricane Maria made landfall – he offered no expression of empathy for, or solidarity with, the island’s American citizens. Instead, he sought to disavow responsibility for their troubles; defend the adequacy of his administration’s response; and insist that Puerto Rico would still have to pay its debts to Wall Street.
But in a typical Trumpian moral limbo to see how low the bar can be set, the Trump administration did their absolute best to “fuck this up bigly” when DHS rejected a request to grant Puerto Rico a waiver from the Jones Act – a law that requires all cargo carried between U.S. ports (including those in Puerto Rico) to be transported on ships made, owned, and staffed by Americans.
The law showed up after World War I, as a way of ensuring that America would retain its naval capacity during peacetime. Ever since, it has provided America’s shipping industry with a prized buffer from foreign competition government corporate welfare handout. But in the aftermath of hurricanes, DHS waives the law for disaster areas, so that economic nationalism corporate whoring and greed don’t get in the way of maximizing the relief effort. George W. Bush did this for New Orleans after Katrina, Barack Obama did it for much of the East Coast after Sandy – and Trump did for Houston and Florida after Harvey and Irma, respectively.
And surprise, surfuckingprise the Glorious Leader Sum Dim Phuc declined to do the same favor for Puerto Rico. When asked why, the feckless bloviator did his usual, clueless, “umm, We’ll hafta see, I’ll look into it” shit and told the press “a lot of people that work in the shipping industry… don’t want the Jones Act lifted.”
So, basically, “profits over Puerto Ricans baby!”
(Resident Rump has just now, as I am writing this, waived the Jones Act after being nearly beaten into submission by the media and social media – about fucking time punk! Notice the theme here though – he ain’t helping out or doing his job until he’s forced to)
And all of this going on as Trumpcare v.3 or 4 or 67 fails, the prez gets into a nuclear standoff pissing match with the only leader on Earth that has a mental and emotional capacity similarly deficient to his own, and his entire fucking dumbass family and inner circle gets caught using ‘private e-mails’ to do official government business. These pricks will be the death of irony.
Now, the leader of the Turd Reich brings you the latest episode of his hit reality show, “Fuck You People of Color!” with this shit show tire fire …
Go on, tell me there’s no race based decisions being made by Trump and his klannies. And he’s not dog whistling to his MAGAKKKids.
Congratulations Donnie Bad Touch,Glorious Leader of the Turd Reich, you are our d-bag apocalypse Outstanding Performer for today!

Note: I have stopped doing the d-bag of the week award because it seems odd to me to have a ‘weekly’ winner when the shit shows, tire fires, cluster-fucks and other Trump Crime Family fiascos are occurring literally by the hour. Maybe once this asshole and all of his cronies are in prison we can start to have nice things again and we can get back to just weekly d-bag alerts and the like. Sigh.
