Watch how Donald Trump tried to explain Hurricane Helene to a crowd in North Carolina.
“I must’ve been the first one, I followed that storm right in,” the former president said. “I saw the devastation, it was a travesty, it was viscous, it was water. The water was the worst we’d ever seen. It was a water hurricane, that’s what it was.”
How soon we forget the hurricane in Puerto Rico, some of Trump's wise words:
"The response and recovery effort probably has never been seen for something like this. This is an island surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water."
“Sweetie, it’s not water, it’s PEE, and for the millionth time, Melania won’t do that anymore because she’s got the recordings of you!! Got it?! Here’s a cheeseburger. “ - I don’t know
Election is less than a week away. Unless he has a serious episode where he doesn't know who he is or where he is and then punches some intern in the face... on live TV... none of this other crap will matter. Even then, it might not matter.
My guy he made fun of a disabled reporter by pantomiming a seizure. And is still allowed to run. His cognitive decline is boring compared to the hateful things he's done in front of cameras. He could rip his pants off and mud blast campaign donors at a rally and he would still be neck and neck with Harris.
"I was shown the satellite pictures. I was like, 'Wow that's a lot of water. So much water. I know, I grew up around the best water.' Let me tell you - it's not even American water. American water is beautiful and pure and none of it comes from the floating trash heaps outside our borders. That water hurricane came to America illegally and it's killing people's cats and dogs. Biden let the water in - I wouldn't have let the water in. It's soaking couches in multiple states which has reduced Vance to tears. Now those tears are American water."
Hey, hey, since we have sharknados, it's important to specify what kind of hurricane we have. Could've been a furricane - much more damaging to Trump and his ilk.
He's accidentally correct. A warmer atmosphere holds more water and can do more damage. He just has no clue he was this close to understanding the growing danger of climate change.
