throwing paper towels at the Peurta ricans? I want the real story .
Trump seemingly thought it would be appropriate to toss out paper towels like t-shirts at a basketball game.

I was watching it yesterday. Geraldo Rivera was reporting on it and said there were people in the back in dire need of supplies so President Trump threw some paper towels in the back. And the crowd seemed to love it.

I'll look up Geraldo. Every source I have read has said that the Puerto Ricans felt like Trump treated them poorly.

They were very pleased he came from what I saw. Geraldo was there because he has family there.

I think the real story is that he was at a supply distribution center and he impulsively decided to "distribute" some paper towels by throwing them into the audience. This seems like adolescent behavior to me, a non-Trump person, but I am sure others have different opinions.

This is a well known picture of a Turkish official taunting starving Armenians with bread.

It's a fake. It's an obvious fake. But it's well known.

I was reminded of it when I saw this:

This is not a fake. That's the leader of the free world.

A man with then largest Navy ever assembled.

An Air Force capable of picking up an moving an Army in 24 hours.

An Army/National Guard with the ability to supply, support and feed thousands of people every day in the field.

As guy with two 1,000 bed, self contained hospital ships at this disposal.

Throwing paper towels at a population of people who are under water, without power or food and who are literally dying.

And he's doing it two weeks AFTER the storm hit.

No.

No Turkish official ever taunted staving children by throwing bread into a crowd.

That kind of mindless cruelty was committed by an American President and it wasn't even food.

It was paper towels.

My take would be that he probably did it because he's been irritated by liberals who have been complaining that he hasn't done enough/acted fast enough to help Puerto Rican Americans, and he is a bitter and cruel man incapable of basic empathy.

Lol!! Seriously, I was not on the Trump Train as they call it but the inserting of motives is ridiculous. The constant vilification says more about those villifying the man and it is not exactly rational. He could cure cancer and there would still be those that would insert their nafarious motives to him. I can see the same attitude in Hillary and her book. Blame and crazy conspiracy theories. Pretty sick. I saw it as it was reported. People were laughing and taking selfies with him. It was a breather for them. Get over it.
