    Leading Homeland Security Under a President Who Embraces ‘Hate-Filled’ Talk

    Ms. Duke is the latest in a series of senior officials who have gone public to describe — often in vivid, behind-the-scenes detail — their discomfort and sometimes shock at the inner workings of the Trump presidency.

    She said she was especially taken aback, during the response to Hurricane Maria’s devastation of Puerto Rico, when she heard Mr. Trump raise the possibility of “divesting” or “selling” the island as it struggled to recover.

    “The president’s initial ideas were more of as a businessman, you know,” she recalled. “Can we outsource the electricity? Can we can we sell the island? You know, or divest of that asset?”
    (She said the idea of selling Puerto Rico was never seriously considered or discussed after Mr. Trump raised it.)

    > how could he do this


    I guess all those jokes about the bible belt during Obama's tenure were hate filled as well? Or does he get a pass because he's black?

    Shucks I always forget the backwards world you live in. Who gets the pass in your fantasy world?

    Obama was just preaching the truth, Trump's just showing his ignorance.

    "They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."_from article cited

    I still wish we'd have bought Greenland. He was mocked for that, but it was a hell of an idea in more ways than one if he could have pulled it off.
