He’d have to helo to the USVI from SJU, I don’t think the airports at the Virgins are in a shape to handle AF1. Also the relief team really wants him in and out of the Sector quickly since AF1’s presence creates an air traffic embolism. ---

Oh absolutely, I understand that those are all real factors that might make a trip to an island disaster area impossible. But Trump should know all that, and choose his words accordingly. But that might be a level of nuance that you can’t squeeze into a tweet. ---

Highly likely statements by Trump in the White House: \*\*“Texas is full of white people who helped elect me. We must help them!” “Florida is full of white people who helped elect me. We must help them!” “Geez, what the fuck is wrong with these damned spics in Puerto Rico that they can’t pull themselves up by their bootstraps? Their nattering is throwing off my golf game!”\*\* If anyone still needed proof positive about what a huge fucking lowlife Trump is – and every single one of his supporters including members on this Board – his tweets today are definitive. ---

It is a significant step downward for him, and perhaps the first thing he has done in office that, in its coarseness, has actually surprised me. (I explained the difference, for me, between shock and surprise when it comes to Trump, in this item last week.) Temperamentally, intellectually, and in terms of civic and moral imagination, he is not fit for the duties he is now supposed to bear… ---

> [@asahi](#): > > Jesus Christ, we’re just now getting to the point where people are figuring out he’s temperamentally unfit. Jesus Christ yourself. Read the fucking article, will you? James Fallows is not “just now getting to the point” where he recognizes how bad Trump is. In fact, Fallows followed the election campaign for _The Atlantic_, and spent much of that time compiling a dossier of Trump statements and actions that were beyond the realms of respectable and intelligent political discourse. And in the very article linked by **ThelmaLou** , Fallows says that the main reason he stopped cataloguing Trump’s idiocy after the inauguration was that “the nature of the man is clear.” You’re not the only one whose eyes are open to Donald Trump’s temperament.
