Former Chief of DHS: Trump acted like a third grader when briefed on Hurricane Florence

[Billy000]

Apparently Trump did not give a shit about the loss of life from Florence but was instead focused on like a 9 year old on things irrelevant about the hurricane. Not a surprising story really. I mean if this was Bush instead I would think “wow, I didn’t know he was THAT dumb.” But with Trump? This sounds like him.

Trump was obsessed with which way Hurricane Florence was spinning ‘like a 3rd grader’, says official

Former US Department of Homeland Security Chief Miles Taylor claimed Donald Trump was unfocused during security briefings, likening him to a distracted elementary school student.During an interview on CNN, Mr Taylor recounted a story about an interaction with Mr Trump during which he claimed the...

The former DHS chief said the interaction occurred during a 2018 briefing.

"We had Hurricane Florence bearing down on the United States, it was coming towards the Carolinas on the coast," he said. "We were briefing the president on the damage we expected and also our concerns about significant loss of life if he didn't tell Americans to evacuate."

Mr Taylor said initially he thought the president was intently studying the storm, and described him studying a foam board where pictures of the hurricane and its projected path were hanging.

"Then he turned to me and said 'I've got a question' ... 'do the hurricanes always spin this direction?'" Mr Taylor said. "He meant counter clockwise, that's called the Coriolis effect."

He claimed the president then followed up asking if that was why water in Australian toilets flow opposite of those in the US.“

Is that your go-to assumption any time a former official criticizes Trump?

To be fair, the direction of rotation thing is interesting, but most have enough curiosity to discover that explanation as a young child.

I never said that about Hillary but whatever. As far as Trump beating ANYONE, I can’t help it if voters are stupid. Of course Trump, did lose the popular vote so based purely on democratic principles, he lost.

Donald Trump released a video on Tuesday that thanked first responders for helping the victims of Hurricane Florence. But the president appeared to be winging his comments, which included a line that instantly took on a life of its own on social media.
“This is a tough hurricane, one of the wettest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of water,” he said. “Rarely have we had an experience like it and it certainly is not good.”


The comment about how wet the storm was “from the standpoint of water” caused jokes to rain down on Twitter:

This dude just said “one of the wettest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of water” in a prerecorded video shoot and nobody even bothered to do a retake.

“One of the wettest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of water.” He has the BEST words!
— TrevorOnAir (@TrevorOnAir) September 19, 2018​

The guy is not lying as we look at some of his comments on record such as the above concerning Florence

one of the wettest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of water,” he said. “Rarely have we had an experience like it and it certainly is not good.”

It is not good when you cannot listen to a briefing that will tell you what to say instead of making stuff up as he goes along.

So we now know that water is wet.

No. The child was, and still is a child. It was the crazy right wingers who wanted to elect a child.

 

[excalibur]

It is up to the Governor's and local authorities to advise people if they should evacuate.

And may I quote Øbama?

Now, states play the primary role in preparing for and responding to disasters.​

But even a third grader wouldn’t make the connection with Australian toilets.

Of course they would. I did, and I remember my daughter asking about toilet rotation thing at about that age. I guess the difference is that Trump was raised by a nanny whose job was to keep the kid happy and quiet instead of a loving parent who was more interested in stimulating a young mind.

Yeah, pretty much. Anyone who claims he acts childlike has zero credibility. He does act like a New Yorker. That's what they do.

But the rest is hyperbolic bullshit by a butthurt bureau chief. I could care less what those corrupt peicks have to say.
