Donald Trump finally takes President Hillary Clinton’s advice
Let’s just call it what it is: Donald Trump is not the President of the United States. He’s not even trying to do the job. More importantly, he wasn’t legitimately elected to the job; he conspired with a hostile foreign government to rig the election in his favor. Hillary Clinton is the de facto President. She showed it once again by telling Trump how to help Puerto Rico with its post-hurricane crisis. Sure enough, Trump has now taken Hillary’s specific advice.
Over the weekend, as Puerto Ricans begged the federal government for help while Donald Trump was tweeting angry things about black athletes, Hillary Clinton posted the following tweet: “President Trump, Sec. Mattis, and DOD should send the Navy, including the USNS Comfort, to Puerto Rico now. These are American citizens” (link). This led to an online petition which quickly gained more than a hundred thousand signatures. By Tuesday, the Trump administration announced that it would indeed dispatch the Comfort to Puerto Rico (link). This isn’t the only way in which Trump has taken instruction from Hillary on Puerto Rico.
On Monday night, Hillary Clinton appeared on the Chris Hayes show on MSNBC. During her interview, she pointed out that Trump hadn’t even bothered to so much as mention the Puerto Rico crisis on Twitter, even as he spent his time picking fights with NFL and NBA stars. Sure enough, not twenty minutes later, Trump began frantically tweeting about Puerto Rico. It was clear he had been watching the interview. Moreover, as Trump doesn’t regularly watch MSNBC’s evening programs, he had clearly tuned in specifically to see Hillary.
Not only did Donald Trump illegally steal the election from Hillary Clinton, he’s now copycatting her answers on the test. If this is how it’s going to go, he ought to just give her the damn job. Contribute to Palmer Report
