While Dorian victims were desperately trying to survive in the aftermath of one of the worst storms in US history, Donald Trump found time to play golf at his resort. The optics were devastating to even Trump’s most ardent supporters, many expressing outrage. Trump’s longtime nemesis, London mayor, Mayor Sadiq Khan reignited his long-running feud by accusing him of being grossly insensitive to the people of Poland and much of Europe by skipping the commemoration ceremony marking 80 years since the end of WWII.

Exposing alarming memory lapses, Trump insisted he had never heard of a Category 5 hurricane, forgetting that four prior hurricanes of the same insensitivity threatened the US on his watch. The racist Trump then falsely expressed alarm that the predominantly white folks of Alabama may be in the path of the hurricane hastily drawing up a map to repeatedly justify his false claims. The National Weather swiftly denied that Alabama was in any danger. At the same time Trump dismissed concerns for the brown-black people of the Caribbean. 

To make matters even worse Trump suggested dropping a nuclear bomb at the eye of the storm to neutralize its intensity. Does anyone still believe the nuclear codes are safe in his twitchy fingers? Wake up America, the category 5 Trump hurricane is in the eye of our democracy and sanity.
