Hurricane Trump

“I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know.”

- Donald Trump

Perhaps the President of the United States of America is having a nervous breakdown. Maybe his advancing age is starting to affect his mental abilities. Or, maybe his privileged upbringing allowed him to chronologically reach his golden years without ever having reached emotional maturity as if Peter Pan somehow stumbled into the Oval Office and no one had the sense to kick him out. Instead, they gave him the nuclear codes.

Whatever the reason, Donald Trump’s actions this week have shown once again that there are no limits to the depth of his ineptitude. As Hurricane Dorian stalled over the Bahamas on Sunday, Trump Tweeted that “In addition to Florida — South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama, will most likely be hit (much) harder than anticipated.” This was an error on the President’s part as Alabama had been removed from the potential path of the killer storm days earlier. Perhaps the golf course is not the best place to get updates on a storm bearing down on the country that you are supposed to be leading.
