This, from The Hill:
From one of the reporters covering the performance:
Somebody should have clued him in -- if something like this is going to be really effective, you need at least one victim in the room.
Via Joe.My.God. The comments are worth reading -- they're uniformly scathing, but some take snark to whole new level. Just one example:
President Trump has declared Sunday a "National Day of Prayer" for those affected by Hurricane Harvey.
Surrounded by leaders from the American Red Cross, the Salvation Army and Southern Baptist Disaster Relief, Trump signed a proclamation from the Oval Office on Friday inviting "all Americans to join us as we continue to pray for those who have lost family members or friends, and for those who are suffering in this time of crisis."
"I don't know when this was done last, but it's been a long time ago," Trump told reporters. "Is that a correct statement? It's been a long time ago."

I saw a news item that one of the officials in Texas had responded to an offer of actual aid from the Province of Quebec with an answer that basically amounted to Keep your blankets and food, send us prayers instead. I mean, seriously ?????
Oh, it's much worse than that -- both Mexico and Venezuela have offered aid, which, I believe, has been refused.
And it seems that other allies are hesitating to offer help -- probably because they're afraid Trump might want to cut a deal on something completely unrelated.
Once upon a time, this sort of things was a no-brainer -- the "community of nations" and all that sort of thing. Now, thanks to Trump's expertise in foreign relations, they don't want to get involved.
