While Americans Focus On A Category 4 Hurricane, Trump Does His Dirty Work
While Americans Focus On A Category 4 Hurricane, Trump Does His Dirty Work
A slew of contentious moves were announced as millions of people were fleeing the Gulf Coast.
By Paige Lavender 08/25/2017
As a Category 4 hurricane rapidly approached the coast of Texas on Friday night ― causing millions to run for their lives and worry for their homes, their pets, their family photos, their property and their livelihoods ― President Donald Trump escaped to Camp David, where he unleashed his own storm of controversial news, seemingly hoping no one would notice.
Trump signed a memo banning transgender individuals from newly enlisting in the military and pardoned a former sheriff with a history of racist actions. One of his most controversial advisers resigned, and his administration teased they’d end a program that could put many young undocumented immigrants at risk of deportation. These controversial announcements all came as Hurricane Harvey bore down on the Texas Gulf Coast.
Trump wished Texans “good luck” as he departed the White House on Friday for Camp David in Maryland. But he and his administration seemed eager to use the natural disaster as a distraction.
