Cruz Feud Still On

Neither Carmen Yulín Cruz nor her T-shirts will be silenced. In an interview with Univision on Wednesday, the San Juan mayor wore a black T-shirt with the word nasty on the front, a direct response, she said, to President Trump’s angry tweets against her. Cruz also criticized the Trump administration’s lackluster response to the devastation in Puerto Rico:

When someone is bothered by someone claiming lack of drinking water, lack of medicine for the sick and lack of food for the hungry, that person has problems too deep to be explained in an interview. What is really nasty is that anyone would turn their back on the Puerto Rican people.

Presumably, no one gave her an interview while Trump was in town.

So far, President Trump’s response to the crisis has included dedicating a golf trophy to hurricane victims, throwing paper towels at people, and saying it’s a good thing Hurricane Maria was not “a real catastrophe like Katrina.”

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE 10/9:

“They had these beautiful, soft towels. Very good towels,” Trump said in a conversation that aired Sunday on Christian television network Trinity Broadcasting. “And I came in and there was a crowd of a lot of people. And they were screaming and they were loving everything. I was having fun, they were having fun. They said, ‘Throw ‘em to me! Throw ‘em to me, Mr. President!’”

Jesus, what a narcissistic, clueless prick.

We also learned during the interview that Trump believes:

[...]

* the Middle East is “much less of a mess now” thanks to himself;

* the Las Vegas gunman was “a sick person, but probably smart”;

* and repealing the Affordable Care Act, sending block grants to states instead, would mean Trump could stop focusing on “fixing somebody’s back or their knee.”

Jesus wept.
