Trump Just Arrived At Houston Harvey Shelter And Immediately Humiliated Himself
After earning widespread criticism for failing to meet with any Hurricane Harvey flood victims the last time he went to Texas, President Trump returned to the beleaguered state this weekend for another round of photo ops – and immediately embarrassed himself.
Meeting with environmental refugees at a Houston flood relief center, Trump promptly launched into his characteristically discombobulated word salad, saying that the people around him who lost their homes and were forced to flee a catastrophic storm were “really happy” and says that “it’s been really nice, it’s a wonderful thing…as Tru [corrects himself] tough as this was it’s been a wonderful thing.”

Then, out of nowhere, and apparently to nobody in particular, the President of the United States yelled “my hands are too big” while putting on gloves.

The “hands” comment is particularly amusing because it’s well known that Trump is extremely insecure about the size of his…hands. He infamously brought up the size of his hands in one of the Republican primary debates in order to use them as a thinly veiled metaphor for the size of his penis.
It just goes to show that the President can’t behave seriously at what should be a solemn and somber occasion – and that when surrounded by those in need, his first thought is always about himself.
