Trump didn’t include Hindus in statement about Diwali

Trump deleted the original Diwali tribute tweet because it left out Hindus only to post a corrected tweet and still leave out Hindus.

Diwali is literally the most popular festival in Hinduism. https://t.co/NOGZEgtIeD

So after initially not including Hindus in his first Diwali tweet, Trump deletes that tweet and reposts another message. And still leaves out Hindus… https://t.co/4Rw5VLkVUe

At his White House Diwali event, Trump calls up FCC chair Ajit Pai, then chides him over, I think, his handling of conservative Sinclair's attempt to buy Tribune Media: "I just didn't like one decision he made, but that's alright. Not even a little bit. But he's independent."

Trump’s first reaction to California fires is to attack

That’s all he knows how to do.

First, my sympathy goes out to the victims and their families and my admiration goes out to the first responders. Trump’s initial tweet was vindictive but someone must have told him that he needed to do better because the second one was more appropriate. Of course, he’ll never acknowledge the impact of climate change on the frequency and size of the fires.

At least nine people dead, hundreds of homes destroyed, hundreds of thousands of people evacuated, terror from mountains to the sea. The president’s first tweet about the California fires misstates the cause of all the awful destruction to blame the state: https://t.co/NIvNe3dCBr

— Cathleen Decker (@cathleendecker) November 10, 2018

From @CAFirefighters Pres. Brian Rice: "The president's attack is ill-informed, ill-timed and demeaning to victims and to our #firefighters on the front lines. #CA fire victims need support instead of recrimination and blame." Full statement HERE: https://t.co/femcjxC0PY https://t.co/tQHtqiWZEB

Some follow-up data: Nearly 60 percent of CA's 33 million acres of forests are owned by fed gov, ~25 percent privately owned, and ~14 percent owned by industrial owners like timber companies. State and local govts own 3 percent of the state's forests. https://t.co/sCvffE1gD7 …

Dear @realDonaldTrump: What is wrong with you? Disaster victims deserve help & sympathy.

Oh, and guess who owns much of the forest land in CA? Your federal agencies. CA only owns 2%. Guess who cut funding to forest management in the budget? YOU DID.#SaturdayMorning Thoughts https://t.co/Es9oAOhQQc

Trump attacks recipient of one of the bombs

Trump has learned nothing from this terrible week. He will never provide moral leadership for our country. He is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

Tom Steyer was one of the Democrats targeted with a pipe bomb by a crazed Trump supporter. Three days later, Trump is back to calling Steyer a “lunatic” on Twitter. https://t.co/p88s8QXCce

Trump repeats Saudi denials

He doesn’t care about human rights, only money. Even many Republicans in Congress don’t agree with him on this issue.

The President appears to be repeatedly taking the Saudi denials at face value (first King Salman, now MBS) and amplifying them. No indication of any daylight between the US & Saudi Arabia, even as it is becoming apparent Khashoggi was killed at the Saudi consulate https://t.co/X490v0qcNn

Trump on Saudi Arabia’s responsibility for the murder of Jamal Khashoggi: They deny it.

Horseface

Trump continues to insult women. He called Stormy Daniels “Horseface”. This is not acceptable! I don’t expect Trump cult members to care.

‘Fat.’ ‘Dog.’ ‘No Longer a 10.’ Think the "horseface" comment by @realDonaldTrump is an exception? Think again. Here's my rundown of how consistent the president is about attacking the way women look. https://t.co/XMMs7Rpzox

— Michael D. Shear (@shearm) October 16, 2018

Trump went after Carly Fiorina ("Look at that face…") and still won the GOP nomination.

He went after Alicia Machado ("she gained a massive amount of weight…") and still won the presidency.

History suggests his voters will stick with him after "Horseface."

Trump on Stormy Daniels: "Horseface."

On Carly Fiorina: "Look at that face. … Would anyone vote for that?”

Trump continues to dominate media attention

If you watch TV news, it’s all about Trump. Democrats rarely get a chance to discuss issues, only wat they think of Trump’s latest move or statement. This is unfair and will make it harder to win in the midterms and 2020.

Trump perfected this strategy in 2016.

Trump is disgusting

I knew he couldn’t keep his mouth shut on Dr. Ford. His real character (or lack of it) always comes out. The man has no compassion or empathy. He just knows how to attack people. Let’s not forget that he has been accused by over a dozen women of sexual assault, I believe the women.

Obviously, Republicans will do anything to get this unpopular nominee confirmed. I don’t know why any woman would vote for a Republican in 2018.

“There’s no reason to attack her,” Kellyanne Conway said to reporters of Christine Blasey Ford at 9:09am. Five minutes later, Trump begins tweetstorm going after … Christine Blasey Ford

— Manu Raju (@mkraju) September 21, 2018

HOW DEPRAVED IS THE GOP AT THIS POINT?

Well, just THIS MORNING alone:

1. Trump called Dr. Ford a liar

2. Franklin Graham says "no crime was committed" and they were "just teenagers"

3. Gary Bauer says that Ford charges are like "waterboarding" Kavanaugh

— Ronald Klain (@RonaldKlain) September 21, 2018

Trump's relative restraint on Ford's accusations lasted five days. He is now following his own playbook for sexual assault claims of deny, retaliate and repeat. https://t.co/uMlMIlYF4T

— Philip Rucker (@PhilipRucker) September 21, 2018

You can always count on Trump to do the most despicable thing possible, especially when it comes to women. It was only a question of when, not if, he would attack Dr. Ford.

I wonder if he will try to suppress the Mueller report if it is finished before the 2018 elections. He is laying the groundwork for it here by saying that Mueller and the Democrats are using it to hurt Republicans in the midterms. I don’t put anything past him.

People are dying in an ongoing storm and Trump is obsessing about his dismal poll numbers. This is disgusting. https://t.co/xffNJdCXS7
