SUPPORT WTFA ON PATREON

Badger: Hello, White House? Trump tweeted that San Juan mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz is only complaining because the Democrats told her to. Puerto Ricans "want everything to be done for them" Trump wrote. Badger: But that can't be right because people in hospitals are literally dying and Mayor Cruz is in photos walking through waist-high water trying to help her people. Badger: Meanwhile Trump is just...golfing. And tweeting. About "fake news", the N.F.L., and the Republican primary in Alabama which ended four days ago. Could you, um, clarify this position?

NEW COMIC TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS AND WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

Almost anyone, even the most evil dictator, would know to at least look as if you give a shit when your citizens are dying. I bet even Stalin skipped vacation during the Holodomor. But Trump can't even manage to pretend to try to look like he cares, so while the people of Puerto Rico are dying or waiting on line for hours for a few bottles of water, he's gone to his golf club in Bedminster, New Jersey, for something like the 60th time.

That would be bad enough if he didn't spend his time there calling Puerto Rican leaders names and accusing them of being opportunistic, as if anyone needs a reason to despise that bloated plutocrat. As if Carmen Yulín Cruz isn't working to help her people. As if she's not sleeping on a cot.

I'd say Trump needs a good case of cholera but the last thing we need is more tweets from him on the shitter.
