Lol half the comments in /r/politics don't realize he's presenting the Presidents cup just like most other presidents before him. They think it's a trophy he won for himself or some shit.
This is one of those things that would be a non-story if it were any president except for Trump.
Idk, but I don't think it would have been a big deal if they did. Maybe a few mayos at your local trailer park would have been pissed off if Obama were to do it.
Fox would have had a fit, Bill-O would have talked about it for weeks, and Hannity would have used it to prove Clinton murdered everyone in the Valentines Day Massacre.
Pro-tip: Given the context it looks really fucking bad to do this considering the situation down there. Does that really have to be spelled out for you?
Redditors who were 10 when Obama took office will be sure to tell you how wrong you are
Trust me, they already have.
They are too stupid to realize that the press spent 8 years criticizing every move President Bush made, yet the minute Obama took office and started doing the same thing the press was silent.
No other president would interrupt himself mid sentence to explain that he's doing a good job dealing with the situation. It would be a non story if it didn't fit perfectly with the narrative that he is completely unmoored from reality and cares about nothing except his own image.
This is one of those times where the press would have been lavishing praise over Obama had he done the same thing. They would have been playing sound clips of his speech dedicating the trophy for at least 48 hours.
Instead, since President Trump did it they will turn it into a hit piece.
Keep in mind these are the same people who if you ever breathe a whisper of criticism of Bush's innumerable fuck ups will throw an apoplectic shitfit about how he's not president anymore and everyone should just forget he ever existed lmao
The President presents the Presidents cup and dedicates it to people in need, and yet in your mind it's not the people hyperventilating over this non-event that are acting butthurt?
You are aware that responding to disasters like this is part of the federal governments job, right?
Are you so committed to defending Daddy Trump you seriously can't admit the response has been fucking abysmal and this golf trophy bullshit is in laughably poor taste?
He's bringing awareness to it obviously. The American people need to know about this issue and what better way to do this then dedicate a world famous trophy to their suffering while all eyes are on the golf tourney
The island is in fucking full-blown crisis mode, his response has been abysmal, and the best he can do is dedicate a god damn gold trophy to them, and you think that's an appropriate thing to do? Are you literally fucking retarded?
Uh, the context is very different here dude. The man is rightfully being attacked for a poor response to this hurricane and then, in the middle of that, does something retarded like this.
Yeah, it's pretty nuts, to be honest. Like I enjoy good Trump shit-posting, I say nasty things about him to bait his supporters into arguments - but what gets me the most is when they pretend this is all normal and Trump is just being unfairly attacked.
Believing this is normal requires a detachment from reality so extreme it borders on severe mental illness.
There's a female Berntard on my facebook that a week before the election was talking about how she couldn't "bring herself to vote for Clinton" and then 2 weeks after was in the middle of a breakdown screeching about how anti-woman trump is.
This might blow your mind but it's possible to not vote for Clinton without supporting Trump. Especially if you're in a solidly blue state like me where your vote will still count towards Clinton due to the electoral college.
Is there any evidence that Trump isn’t actually an alien infiltrator whose purpose is to lead humanity to extinction by starting a nuclear war? And once we’re all gone, the aliens are going to show up and claim our planet because we happen to have a rare element that is scarce in the universe? That’s why Trump doesn’t seem capable of normal human reaction and interaction. It’s like every chance he has to improve his public image or do the right thing, he just goes nope and does something retarded. Over and over and over again. Maybe that’s why he looks so strange. Those small hands, that extremely poor quality hairpiece, and the skin color of an orange left out in the sun. How sure are we that Trump is actually human?

Sort of. It should have been played in 2002 but was delayed until 2003 because of 9/11. Bush could have dedicated it to 9/11 victims in 2003.
1 Imgur_Lurker 2017-10-02
Considering President Trump is literally the first President to get his mitts on the Cup to give it away that'd be a little hard rofl.

This is a pretty questionable way to look at it, mainly because many of these people were in swing states.
