Handle it and won't allow anyone else to handle it yet

CNN has been one of the main media sources feeding the talking point that President Trump is not providing enough aid to the island the

Conservative tree house has transcribed the phone call which is in Spanish and featured in a video below radio announcer

BUSTED! SAN JUAN MAYOR SKIPPED HURRICANE RELIEF MEETINGS TO CRITICIZE TRUMP । Conservative America - Duration: 3:18.

After earning praise for his handling of the hurricanes in Texas and Florida, President

Trump is now being criticized (mostly by Democrats) for his handling of the devastation in Puerto

Rico from Hurricane Maria.

Much of that criticism is based on the word of San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz, who is

claiming we are dying as a direct result of Trumps ineffective handling of relief efforts.

However, it now appears Cruz is not only lying about the dire circumstances, she is not even

actively participating in organizing relief efforts in her city.

A report by Alex Pfeiffer and Peter Hasson of the Daily Caller has revealed that Cruz

is not even meeting with federal officials to coordinate relief efforts.

Instead, she appears to be making time to go on television to criticize President Trump

instead.

In one interview, she claimed Puerto Rico is on the verge of genocide because of Trump.

Cruzs lack of effort is being exposed by the mayor of Guaynabo, Puerto Rico.

Angel Perez says Cruz is not attending meetings with officials from the Federal Emergency

Management Agency (FEMA) and other federal agencies.

He sees a far different effort, although he admits the circumstances are challenging.

From The Daily Caller.

Mayor Perez told The DC that the story Cruz is telling the media doesnt mesh with what

he has seen from the federal government.

My experience is different.

I have been participating in different meetings at the headquarters of FEMA and our government

and the help is coming in and right now my experience is different from hers.

Im receiving help from the government, we are receiving assistance from FEMA, I got

people over here helping us with applications for the people that have damage in their houses.

And we have here in Guaynabo, we have thousands of people that lost partially or totally their

houses, � said Perez, who is a member of Puerto Rico�s New Progressive Party.

Perez�s comments echoed what FEMA administrator Brock Long said on Saturday.

Long defended Trump�s tweets blasting Cruz and indicated that Cruz has failed to connect

with the FEMA command center set up on the island to help with the relief effort.

When asked about Cruz�s �genocide� statement, Perez said, �I don�t know why she is saying

that.

What I can tell you is my experience.

She is not participating in any meetings and we had a couple already with the governors

and with representation of FEMA and of HUD, of these whole federal agencies that have

given us help and she�s not participating in those meetings.

Fox News� Geraldo Rivera challenged Cruz in an interview, the video of which is posted

below.

He points out that while efforts in Puerto Rico are lacking, the circumstances are far

different.

He points out that logistics in getting aid to an island are harder than it was in Texas

and Florida.

However, he points out that he sees no one dying from starvation and thirst, as Cruz

suggests.

Donald Trump to see 'historic high' number of North Korea nuclear tests new report claims - Duration: 3:50.

Donald Trump to see 'historic high' number of North Korea nuclear tests new report claims

The study, conducted by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, comes at a time when the value of diplomacy with North Korea is being questioned by the US President.

The think tank claims there is "some correlation" between negotiations taking place and a decrease in provoking actions Pyongyang. The organisation said: Those in favour of dialogue with North Korea might see this as evidence of the efficacy of diplomacy.

Skeptics will argue that the absence of North Korean provocations does not necessarily mean that nuclear proliferation, both horizontal and vertical, is not still occurring during these periods.".

The think tank revealed that the isolationist nation is set to have a record high provocation rate under the Trump administration.

It claimed: At the current pace, North Korea may do well over 100 missile tests during the four-year term of the US President, which would represent a historic high." Despot leader Kim Jong-un has already conducted 24 missile tests and one nuclear test in the last seven months, each of which have pushed the world closer to World War 3.

The President Trump has shrugged off the possibility of carrying out negotiations with Pyongyang and has even shot down efforts by Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, to negotiate with North Korea.

Trump stated that his colleague is "wasting his time trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man." Kim Jong-un and the Republican have been locked in a war of words that have pushed the world to the brink of armed conflict.

North Korea accused the US of declaring war after a recent tweet from the US President targeted the isolationist state. President Trump wrote: Just heard Foreign Minister of North Korea speak at UN.

If he echoes thoughts of Little Rocket Man, they wont be around much longer! In response, North Korea's Foreign Minister, Ri Yong Ho claimed the country will take aim at any further bombers, even if they occupy international airspace.

Since the feud, the US has denied declaring war on North Korea with White House press secretary Sarah Sanders claiming accusations made were "absurd".

Yesterday North Korea upped global tensions another palpable gear by issuing a major threat against neighbour Japan. The rogue state, which has fired two rockets over Japanese territory this year, sent the warning you will pay for your crimes.

Pyongyang-based newspaper issued the threat to Tokyo which was a reference to past government-general rule over Korea enforced by Japan.

Trump Calls Puerto Ricans Lazy Ingrates While He Skips Work To Golf - Duration: 3:16.

Donald Trump had quite the busy weekend on Twitter.

Unfortunately, that was the thing he really did over the weekend aside, obviously, from

playing golf.

Since becoming president, Donald Trump has now spent a grand total of two months, out

of eight months, playing golf.

He spent three months, out of eight months, at a Trump branded property here in the United

States and yet, somehow in between rounds of golf this past weekend, he had not only

the time but, the audacity, to attack the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico as ungrateful.

Questioning, not only her work ethic but the work ethic of all Puerto Ricans saying that

they're lazy and they want things done for them because they're not willing to do it

themselves and he attacked the leadership of the mayor of San Juan.

A women who was wading through almost chest high water with a bull horn, looking for survivors

in the flooded areas while Donald Trump was out there playing golf and he had the gull

to attack her leadership?

He had the gull to call Puerto Ricans lazy because they're literally begging for FEMA

or the federal government or someone to come in and help them because the majority of them

do not have drinking water.

There may or may not, according to reports, be cholera in the streets because of the floodwater

that is contaminating people.

The morgues in Puerto Rico are at full capacity because they can't handle anymore dead bodies

but you, golfer and chief, Tweeter and chief, are the real leader here?

No, you failed by every imaginable measure.

This crisis in Puerto Rico proves what a disgusting little, horrible waste of oxygen kind of human

being you truly are Mr. Trump.

You're pathetic.

You're week.

You don't know what you're doing.

You're not smart enough to do this job.

You have no leadership abilities to speak of so you attack the leadership qualities

of others.

The only way you feel better about yourself is by dragging others through the mud, which

they were literally already sloshing through to save other human beings' lives.

Would you do that?

No.

What you did was dedicate the golf trophy of this past weekend, to the victims in Puerto

Rico as if that's somehow going to help them.

What are you, going to fill it up with clean water and let everybody come around and get

a spoonful of it?

That's about the only way that that might possibly even help.

You're a piece of crap.

That's the bottom line here folks.

That's what we're dealing with and I'm tired of dancing around the issue and beating around

the bush.

Donald Trump is a piece of crap and his Tweets this past weekend, about the good people of

Puerto Rico and that mayor of San Juan prove it without

a doubt.

Between the Scenes - Las Vegas, Puerto Rico and How Trump Responds to Tragedy: The Daily Show - Duration: 1:56.

- One thing that's particularly illuminating

for me on the Trump issue is how

he and how people deal with mass shootings in America.

On his side, I found it intriguing that

after Puerto Rico's devastation,

hurricane hits them,

immediately he starts tweeting out,

oh, this was a broke nation,

they didn't pay their bills.

They owed Wall Street, they were in debt,

they didn't keep up their infrastructure, they didn't,

immediately blaming the people of Puerto Rico.

A hurricane hit them.

No one plans for a hurricane.

You can literally do nothing about a hurricane.

And then you see him today giving his address

and he's like, you know, these poor people,

and the evil and the scourge that hit them.

And I go, not that you shouldn't have said that,

but you've displayed that you do have

the ability to display sympathy,

just not for certain people.

You know what I mean? (audience applauding)

So when you,

you're speaking about people who've been shot,

they've been gunned down,

and you just go, let's just in this moment,

let's just acknowledge their pain and suffering.

And then Puerto Ricans you're like

let's talk about what they could've done,

things that they could've,

and there's literally nothing.

And that's the irony of the whole situation for me

is people speak about mass shootings

like they are natural disasters.

People speak about it like there's nothing you can do.

Absolute.

Well what are we, that's another one.

Oh, another one hits.

There's nothing we can do.

What can we do?

And it's like, there is something you can do.

(audience applauding)

There is something you can do.

(audience applauding)

Trump Undermines His Staff On Twitter And Pushes For War With North Korea - Duration: 3:36.

On Sunday afternoon, Donald Trump took a break from insulting Puerto Ricans on Twitter and

instead decided to have some kind of private conversation I guess with Rex Tillerson, the

Secretary of State.

In the tweets that he sent out, he told Rex Tillerson, our Secretary of State, who, according

to Trump, is doing a great job, but he shouldn't bother trying to negotiate with North Korea

or kind of work out any kind of deal to make North Korea scale back their nuclear ambitions

and instead said we will do what has to be done.

Don't worry, Rex.

He then went on to say that 25 years of playing nice with rocket man hasn't worked, that it

didn't work under Clinton, Bush, or Obama.

Only he, meaning Donald Trump, can solve this problem.

Well, first and foremost, Kim Jong-un has not been the leader of North Korea for 25

years.

Somebody probably needs to inform Donald Trump of that little piece of trivia, because it

seems rather important.

Second of all, it wasn't until you became president and started antagonizing him on

Twitter that he started saying, "You know what?

I'm going to bomb your ass."

You know?

They had weapons.

They would occasionally issue these vague threats that they never had any intention

of following through on during those other presidencies, and I guess the reason those

other presidents didn't take it too serious is because they knew it wasn't serious.

You, on the other hand, Mr. thin-skin Donald Trump, have made the situation so much worse.

This was not about a failure of Clinton, Bush, or Obama.

This is about a failure of you.

Rex Tillerson, to his credit, even though he's a piece of crap, is actually doing what

should be done.

Meanwhile, you're going on Twitter in front of millions of people and undermining the

job that this guy is doing when it might be one of the only good things he's ever done

since the day he was born, but you can't handle that.

You want war.

Why?

Because again, you see the North Korea situation as some kind of failure of Obama, Bush, and

Clinton, and you think that you can somehow be successful where these other people allegedly

were not.

This might be your only chance at some kind of victory during your presidency, so you

want to make damn sure that you get the chance to lob some bombs over at North Korea.

Well, let me tell you this.

There's 25 million people in the country of North Korea that are essentially political

prisoners.

They have no contacts with the outside world.

They don't understand what's going on outside their borders.

They don't know, and they're not allowed to know.

If you send bombs over there, you're going to kill them.

Not all of them, hopefully.

Depends on what kind of bombs you send and how many, but you're going to kill a lot of

them.

You're going to kill a lot more of them than you will the so-called bad guys.

That's on you.

Those are civilian deaths that can be prevented, and people like Rex Tillerson actually I guess

kind of understand that, but you don't care.

You don't care how many innocent civilians you have to kill so long as you get the opportunity

to prove a point and say, "I did something that Obama was never able

to do."

Trump Attacks the Mayor of San Juan: A Closer Look - Duration: 11:26.

-Every week, it seems like we've seen Donald Trump at his worst,

and every week he finds a way to sink lower.

And now, with his response to the crisis in Puerto Rico,

we are witnessing, once again,

the very real consequences of

electing a lazy, ignorant racist as president.

For more on this, it's time for "A Closer Look."

[ Cheers and applause ]

The scale of the humanitarian crisis in Puerto Rico

cannot be overstated.

Over 3 million U.S. citizens living there

have been without power.

More than half the population

doesn't have access to clean drinking water.

Food is scarce, roads are damaged,

and gas has been in short supply.

And yet our president seems to know

only one thing about the situation --

that Puerto Rico is an island.

-It's on an island in the middle of the ocean.

It's out in the ocean.

This is an island sitting in the middle of an ocean,

and it's a big ocean. It's a very big ocean.

This is an island, surrounded by water.

Big water, ocean water.

-"Water." [ Laughter ]

The whole things like getting a situation report

from a cartoon caveman. [ Laughter ]

But it's not fair to keep harping on

the fact that Trump is dumb.

Let's not forget, he's also lazy.

The day after Hurricane Maria made landfall in Puerto Rico...

So, Trump literally needed the TV

to tell him to help Puerto Rico.

Trump watches so much TV, at this point,

even golf announcers will start dropping hints for him

about how to do his job.

-And a short putt here for McIlroy,

but he looks distracted.

-He's probably focused on President Trump's tweets

about North Korea this morning.

-That's got to be on his mind.

-He's looking at the hole and thinking,

"Please, Mr. President, stop calling him Little Rocket Man."

-And, when you think about it, if there's a nuclear war,

then there would be no more golf.

-Good point.

-And here's the putt for par.

And he missed it. [ Audience ohs ]

-That's what happens when the president tweets crazy [bleep]

[ Laughter ]

-And on top of that --

[ Cheers and applause ] That is what happens.

And on top of that,

Trump's acting Homeland Security Director made things worse

when she called the recovery effort...

And when she heard that comment,

the mayor of San Juan was understandably frustrated,

pleading in interviews and press conferences for more help,

and a greater sense of urgency for the people of Puerto Rico.

And in return, Donald Trump did what any leader would do --

he berated the people begging him for help.

-President Trump is attacking the mayor of San Juan

in a barrage of early morning tweets.

-"The mayor of San Juan,

who was very complimentary only a few days ago,

has now been told by the Democrats that

'You must be nasty to Trump.'

Such poor leadership ability by the mayor of San Juan

and others in Puerto Rico."

Another tweet, "who are not able to get their workers to help.

They want everything to be done for them

when it should be a community effort."

-Everything?

They want electricity and drinking water,

not Rihanna tickets and a new Tesla.

Now obviously, many Americans are angry about

the president's choice to lash out at the mayor of San Juan

instead of focusing on hurricane relief.

But no one is madder than Puerto Ricans themselves.

One of our writers, Jenny Hagel, is Puerto Rican,

and she's here to comment right now.

Welcome, Jenny.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Thank you, Seth.

First of all, can we see a clip

of Mayor Cruz being nasty, please?

-When you're drinking from a creek,

it's not a good news story.

When you don't have food for a baby,

it's not a good news story.

Damn it, this is not a good news story.

This is a people-are-dying story.

This is a life-or-death story.

-If you think that's nasty,

you've never seen a Puerto Rican woman get mad.

She didn't even throw her shoe.

[ Laughter ] You don't believe me?

One time during a parent-teacher conference,

my mom told my teacher to go to hell,

and my teacher was a priest.

[ Laughter ]

Also, here's how I know that's not nasty --

she didn't even switch over to Spanish,

'cause that's when you know you're in trouble

with a Puerto Rican woman.

If Mayor Cruz ever goes full Puerto Rican on you --

[ Speaking Spanish ]

[ Cheers and applause ]

Mm-hmm-hmm-hmm-hm.

You might be thinking, "Well, if she didn't get that mad,

maybe she's not Puerto Rican," but you know how I know she is?

'Cause she's in the middle of a [bleep] storm,

and she still looks good.

Look at those glasses.

[ Laughter ]

Meanwhile, you look like a hurricane hit you

on a normal day.

[ Laughter ]

Mira, quit calling Mayor Cruz nasty.

That's not the word you mean.

You mean noncompliant.

You're mad because you were challenged by a woman of color.

You're mad that a woman of color is more compassionate

and better at her job than you.

Because you don't like us, and I know why.

it's because we have the thick wavy hair

you so desperately crave. [ Laughter ]

[ Cheers and applause ] It's true.

I lose more hair in the shower in the morning

than you have on your whole head.

You [speaking Spanish]

[ Laughter ]

So remember, if you know what's good for you,

don't step to a Puerto Rican woman.

You can't handle it.

[ Speaking Spanish ]

Back to you, Seth.

[ Cheers and applause ]

-Jenny Hagel, everybody. [ Applause ]

But you know -- it's not fair of us to keep harping

on the fact that Trump is dumb and lazy.

Let's not forget he's also a liar.

And any Trump crisis would not be complete

without a bizarre and unnecessary lie,

fabricated out of whole cloth.

Like this tweet when Trump tried to brag about

his response to the hurricane.

Sounds reassuring,

except for the fact that Puerto Rican officials

literally had no idea what Trump was talking about.

Asked about Trump's tweet,

the governor of Puerto Rico said...

Just imagine how scary his lie about building safety would be

if his previous job was buildings.

Oh [bleep]

[ Laughter and applause ]

Someone better check those inspection papers.

[ Applause ]

Seriously, and you better pray they don't look like this.

[ Laughter ]

With his insults this weekend,

Trump proved once again how petty and cruel he can be.

And, look, I know he won't listen to me or the media

or the mayor of San Juan,

but he does usually listen to the military.

So I'll let retired Lieutenant General Russel Honoré,

who was in Puerto Rico while Trump was at his golf course,

sum this whole thing up.

-What is your reaction to the president's tweets this morning?

-I have no reaction. The mayor is living on a cot.

And I hope the president have a good day at golf.

-Damn. [ Audience oohs ]

Were you in the Army or SEAL Team Sass?

[ Laughter ]

This is the cruel racism of Donald Trump at work.

When the victims of hurricanes in Florida and Texas

needed help, he didn't hesitate.

But when the victims are people of color,

and when the critics challenging him are women of color,

his reaction is to insult them,

drag his feet on sending help,

and bring up financial issues.

For example, no one ever asked

how Texas and Florida would pay for their recoveries,

but Trump has repeatedly raised the issue with Puerto Rico,

tweeting about its...

And then at the same time,

his own administration is pushing forward

on a plan that will help the rich.

A giant tax cut.

-President Trump and Republican lawmakers making the case

for their newly unveiled tax plan.

-An independent, non-partisan group has come out and said that

80% of the benefits by 2027 will accrue to the top 1%.

That means, if you're a family making over $900,000,

under the plan, the details that we know so far,

you're gonna get a $200,000 tax cut.

-The Tax Policy Center also estimates the plan would add

$2.4 trillion to the deficit over 10 years.

-So while he chides Puerto Rico for not paying its debts,

Trump is willing to spend trillions on a plan

that would cut his own taxes.

That is, if he even keeps his money here in the U.S.

I have a feeling he's got his money stashed away on...

-An island.

Surrounded by water.

Big water, ocean water.

-"Water, water."

[ Laughter and applause ]

So, in the middle of a disaster,

Trump is worried about finding the money

to save lives in Puerto Rico,

but isn't as concerned about spending $2 trillion on tax cuts

for the ultra wealthy.

And not only that, Trump's cabinet

of millionaires and billionaires

is so out of touch,

they can't even lie about their tax plan effectively.

Last week, Trump economic advisor Gary Cohn,

a multi-millionaire former Goldman Sachs executive,

tried to claim middle-class taxpayers would get a tax cut

of about $1,000 a year.

But when he offered examples of ways

families could spend that money,

he didn't seem to know how much everyday items cost.

-If we allow a family to keep another $1,000 of their income,

what does that mean?

They can renovate their kitchen,

they can buy a new -- They could buy a new car.

-Huh? [ Audience oohs ]

[ Laughter ]

You think it costs $1,000 to buy a new car?

The best you could do with $1,000

is take Uber everywhere for a week.

Also, I love that he thinks the first thing

a middle-class family would do with $1,000

is renovate their kitchen. [ Laughter ]

"Okay, honey, we could pay off

our student loans or these medical bills,

or we could get that hot Property Brother

to add subway tile to the breakfast nook."

"Oh, hey, I just found a $5 bill in my jeans.

Why don't I take us all to the movies?

Popcorn? Of course. It's a $5."

So Trump doesn't have the basic human decency

to show compassion and grace

towards victims of a natural disaster.

And his party is more concerned with cutting taxes for the rich,

but if there's one thing we can all agree on,

surely it's that children deserve health care.

Republicans have always proclaimed themselves

the party of family values,

so I'm sure they would never let a government program

that provides health care to millions of children

expire without doing anything about it.

And there's no way this next clip will prove me wrong.

-Funding for the Children's Health Insurance Program,

known as "CHIP," expired today,

after Congress failed to come up with the necessary $15 billion.

Created 20 years ago with bipartisan support,

CHIP provides insurance for nine million kids

whose families make too much to qualify for Medicaid

but too little to buy their own insurance.

-Man, how soulless do you have to be

to let children's health insurance expire?

I'd say Paul Ryan would have trouble

looking at himself in the mirror,

if he had a reflection.

[ Laughter ]

This week has once again given us very clear proof

of who Donald Trump really is,

and who he and the GOP really serve.

Suffering U.S. citizens in Puerto Rico

are desperate for help,

and millions of children need health care,

but Trump and the GOP have no problem spending $2 trillion

on tax cuts for the rich.

We'd all be a lot better off

if Trump would just stop being president.

He could go anywhere. You know, even...

-An island.

Surrounded by water.

Big water, ocean water.

-"Water." This has been "A Closer Look."

[ Cheers and applause ]

Trevor Responds to the Las Vegas Shooting & Trump Tweets the Weekend Away: The Daily Show - Duration: 10:39.

I'm sure, just like many of you,

I woke up this morning to the devastating news

coming out of Las Vegas.

Another mass shooting.

This time somehow even deadlier

than all the other mass shootings.

And they say that this was the worst in American history.

But every shooting

is the worst for someone.

And you know what-what blew my mind this morning

is when I realized

that I have-I have just, like...

I've lived in the U.S. and New York

for two years now, all right?

And in that time there have been 20 mass shootings.

20 mass shootings in the U.S.

What's been particularly heartbreaking is--

other than the lives lost--

is how I feel like people

are becoming more accustomed to this type of news,

every single time.

I almost know how it's going to play out.

We're shocked. We're sad.

Thoughts and prayers. And then, almost on cue,

people are gonna come out saying, "Whatever you do,

"when speaking about the shootings,

don't talk about guns."

Talking about gun control and whether we new... need

more restrictive laws-- I just don't think that

that's an appropriate time for this to be happening.

There's a time and place for a political debate,

uh, but now is the time to unite as a country.

This is not the time

to be talking about guns.

Sometimes I wish I had used this logic as a kid

when I've done something wrong. You know?

My mom wanted to ground me. I should have just said,

"Is this the time, Mom, that we...

"politicize what's happening right now?

"This is not the time to talk about my lack of discipline.

"This is a time for us to unite as a family,

"to focus on the fact that I'm stuck in the kitchen window

"trying to sneak back in. Come on, Mom.

This is not the time."

When... like, when is the time?

And also, if you say after a mass shooting is never the time,

then you'll never have the conversation in America,

because there's a mass shooting almost every single day.

So when is the time? Think about it.

With everything else-- when a plane crashes,

we talk about plane safety immediately.

When a bridge collapses,

we talk about infrastructure immediately.

When a lion attacks people, we talk about

why there are so many lions roaming around.

Is that just me? Africa?

All right, cool. Skip-skip that one.

Skip that one. But, like, I... Like, I don't know how to...

We seem to do everything to avoid talking about guns.

I've never been to a country

where people are as afraid to speak about guns.

Every time there's a shooting.

You got to look at something else.

Is it Muslims? Is it their religion, is that what it is?

Is it blacks? It's the blacks. It's the black on black crime.

Is it mentally ill people? Is it white nationalists?

Every time, it's a different question.

And now... and now, after this incident in Las Vegas,

we're asking a new question.

Is it hotels?

Certainly hotel security will be revisited across the globe, uh,

after this event.

There's no check of your bags.

Uh, I'm not sure how one gets that many firearms

up into their room, but that's gonna be, now, an issue.

Who would have thought that someone would be firing

from the Mandalay Bay hotel?

So now we have to rethink security.

So... so, just to keep track of the argument--

mass shooting, mass shooting, mass shooting, mass shooting,

mass shooting, mass shooting... we have to take care

of this hotel check-in issue.

Oh, and-and... and by the way,

just to give you an idea of how far away America is

from actual gun control--

this week Congress is going to vote

on deregulating gun silencers. Yeah.

Because, I guess, Congress is thinking,

"Gun violence is out of control. How can we make it quieter?

Yeah, how can we do that?"

So... so, the people of Las Vegas,

I can't give you thoughts and prayers.

I can only say that I'm sorry.

I'm sorry that we live in a world where there are people

who will put a gun...

before your lives.

And this story will develop over time, and we'll keep on it.

But for now, let's go into the news of the weekend.

Let's start with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

A man whose name sounds less, uh, like a man

and more like a rich old lady's Pomeranian.

Earlier this week...

earlier this week...

the secretary of state revealed

that he has a direct line of communication with North Korea.

Which is a big deal, considering North Korea

is threatening to launch nuclear weapons at the U.S.

Unfortunately for the rest of us, President Trump

has a direct line of communication with Twitter.

U.S. president, Donald Trump, appears to be undermining

his top diplomat on North Korea.

REPORTER: "I told Rex Tillerson he's wasting his time

trying to negotiate with Little Rocket Man."

"Save your energy, Rex, we'll do what has to be done!"

"Save your energy, Rex"?

Poor Rex Tillerson. He's trying to negotiate a way out

of nuclear war, and his boss is calling him out

on social media for it.

Like, I wonder if Tillerson's ever like, "Sir, do you know

"that your phone can make calls? Do you know that?

Like, why would you tweet me?"

Trump is like, "Because, Rex, I don't follow you,

so I can't DM, okay?"

(applause)

And, now...

I get... I get what Trump is trying to do though.

He's thinking that, by acting crazy,

he'll strengthen Rex's hand with the negotiations, you know?

It's the old good cop/bad president routine.

I understand it. The problem is,

he's actually a bad president.

It's not just a routine.

"Being nice to Rocket Man hasn't worked in 25 years.

"Why would it work now?

"Clinton failed, Bush failed, and Obama failed.

I won't fail."

You know, I would be a lot more confident

that Trump wouldn't fail if he knew that North Korea

has had three leaders in the last 25 years.

Yeah. Clinton and Bush were dealing with different Kims--

Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il,

and now Kim Jong-un.

But I guess, to Trump, all rocket men look the same.

Uh, or, maybe, maybe he just can't tell Kims apart.

Maybe that's his thing. He's gonna be, uh, walking

in the street, bumping into Lil' Kim and looking at her,

like, "You son of a bitch."

Oh, and-and Trump's-Trump's crazy

wasn't just directed at, uh, the Korea of the north.

Remember how last week everyone was like,

"Hey, Mr. President, stop tweeting about the NFL

and focus on Puerto Rico"? Remember that?

Well, uh, be careful what you wish for.

REPORTER: The mayor of San Juan slamming

President Trump's response to the disaster there.

So I am done being polite.

I am done being politically correct.

I am mad as hell.

We are dying,

and you are killing us with the inefficiency.

REPORTER 2: President Trump responded,

"Such poor leadership ability by the mayor of San Juan

"and others in Puerto Rico,

"who are not able to get their workers to help.

"They want everything to be done for them

when it should be a community effort."

Wow. Really?

The hurricane-ravaged people of Puerto Rico are lazy?

This coming from a man who spent 71 days of his presidency

at a golf course. Really?

A sport where you're so lazy, you need an assistant.

They're the lazy ones?

Because, you see, the real victims of this hurricane

are not who you think of as the victims of the hurricane.

The real victim is Donald Trump.

REPORTER: "The mayor of San Juan,

"who was very complimentary only a few days ago,

"has now been told by the Democrats

that you must be nasty to Trump."

How are you a billionaire

and the president of the United States

and still the most insecure human being on Earth?

Like, how? Like, a mayor of a hurricane-ravaged city

is begging for food,

and Trump reacts like she slammed him on a diss track.

And just to keep track, Trump has now had beef

with the mayor of a destroyed city,

grieving Gold Star parents,

POWs, and the Pope.

Right. And the Pope deserved it.

He said some (bleep). But, I mean, everyone else,

everyone else, really?

And, obviously, there was a big backlash to Trump's response.

People were furious. Lin-Manuel Miranda

even tweeted that Trump is going straight to hell

on the fastest golf cart he ever took.

And I don't know if you know...

(cheering and applause)

I don't know if you know--

Lin-Manuel is, like, the nicest person

you will ever meet in your life.

And you can even see that he's nice,

because even when sending Trump to hell,

he let him take his preferred mode of transportation.

Look at that.

That's a nice guy.

And, clearly, Donald Trump is a Hamilton fan,

because, on Sunday, the president finally stepped up

and did the right thing.

President Trump dedicates Presidents Cup golf trophy

to the people of Puerto Rico.

On behalf of all of the people of Texas

and all of the people of--

if you look today and you see what's happening,

how horrible it is, but we have it under really great control--

Puerto Rico, and the people of Florida,

who have really suffered over this last short period of time

with the hurricanes, I want to just remember them.

And we're going to dedicate this trophy

to all of those people that went through so much.

That's right, folks.

Don't say Donald Trump hasn't done anything for Puerto Rico.

The dude dedicated a whole golf trophy to them.

And you know in Trump's mind, that made sense, right?

He was like, "This weekend, both the golfers and Puerto Rico

"had to deal with water hazards.

-It makes sense. It makes sense." (laughter, groaning)

Like, I could...

I genuinely cannot believe

that this guy dedicated a golf trophy.

Like, on the list of things Puerto Ricans needed,

a golf trophy is somewhere in between a VHS copy of Spider-Man

and another hurricane.

Who are you?

(applause and cheering)

Because... because Puerto Rico doesn't need a golf trophy.

All right, they need baseball trophies.

-They don't play golf. -(laughter)

No, but seriously, though, they need help.

They need our help, as well.

Don't be like Trump.

Let's give to Puerto Ricans something

that they can actually use.

Click the link and help out.

Give whatever you can, even if it's one dollar.

You know, if anything, this may be the only silver lining

of Trump's Twitter wars,

is how much people have been getting involved.

He gets people so fired up that they donate just to spite him.

(laughter)

Yeah, I'm thinking now, we just need to get polar bears

to tweet Trump, and maybe we can solve global warming.

Watch: Trump Does What Libs Feared Most During TV Address on LV Attack | Top Stories Today - Duration: 6:23.

Rather than respond to the mass shooting in Las Vegas by spewing leftist talking points

about the purported need for gun control, President Donald Trump instead delivered a

speech calling on all Americans to embrace their "common humanity" and stand strong

against evil.

"We call upon the bonds that unite us, our faith, our family and our shared values,"

he said from the White House early Monday morning, hours after a gunman opened fire

at the 4th-annual Route 91 Harvest country music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise,

Nevada, killing at least 58.

"We call upon the bonds of citizenship, the ties

of community, and the

comfort of

our

common humanity," he continued.

"Our unity cannot be shattered by evil, our bonds cannot be broken by violence, and

though we feel such great anger, at the senseless murder of our fellow citizens, it is our love

that defines us today.

And always will.

Forever."
