It takes a special kind of evil to tweet out, "It's time to take care of OUR people" while....

....systematically ignoring 3 million of your people in great, great need after a disaster.

And furthermore that your remarks are actually referring to tax cuts that will most likely benefit less than 1% of the population at the very top.

A very special kind of evil indeed.

Trump thinks people from Puerto Rico are really Mexicans, despite their US citizenship.

And it's their fault that they chose to live on an island that was destroyed by a hurricane.

I don't know whether I need a sarcasm emoji or not - but that's the way the Trump people think and reconcile things within their own minds. It allows them to be assholes and let themselves off the hook for being assholes.

It's disgusting. I cannot believe it's 2017 and I'm living in the most prosperous country in the world and my fellow AMERICANS are suffering without aid.

His adoring listeners think that when President Trump says, "Our people," he's including them. As the old song observed, "It ain't necessarily so."
