“I must’ve been the first one, I followed that storm right in,” the former president said. “I saw the devastation, it was a travesty, it was viscous, it was water. The water was the worst we’d ever seen. It was a water hurricane, that’s what it was.”

    How soon we forget the hurricane in Puerto Rico, some of Trump’s wise words:

    “The response and recovery effort probably has never been seen for something like this. This is an island surrounded by water. Big water. Ocean water.”

    Doesn’t matter.

    Election is less than a week away. Unless he has a serious episode where he doesn’t know who he is or where he is and then punches some intern in the face… on live TV… none of this other crap will matter. Even then, it might not matter.

    Vote!

      My guy he made fun of a disabled reporter by pantomiming a seizure. And is still allowed to run. His cognitive decline is boring compared to the hateful things he’s done in front of cameras. He could rip his pants off and mud blast campaign donors at a rally and he would still be neck and neck with Harris.

    “I was shown the satellite pictures. I was like, ‘Wow that’s a lot of water. So much water. I know, I grew up around the best water.’ Let me tell you - it’s not even American water. American water is beautiful and pure and none of it comes from the floating trash heaps outside our borders. That water hurricane came to America illegally and it’s killing people’s cats and dogs. Biden let the water in - I wouldn’t have let the water in. It’s soaking couches in multiple states - I showed Vance the photos and he started crying. Now those tears are American water.”

              You wouldn’t believe how much hydrogen that thing has. It would explode like an atom bomb. My people tell me it has like 2 or 3 hydrogens in it. Dunno wasn’t paying attention

    A water hurricane is just a hurricane you dolt. They always form over the ocean around the equator, but not on it.

      Hey, hey, since we have sharknados, it’s important to specify what kind of hurricane we have. Could’ve been a furricane - much more damaging to Trump and his ilk.

      He could’ve meant a water spout or “water tornado,” but I doubt it.

    He’s accidentally correct. A warmer atmosphere holds more water and can do more damage. He just has no clue he was this close to understanding the growing danger of climate change.

        Just wait until until we get Earth Wind & Fire hurricanes. 200 mph gust of jazz ain’t nothing to joke about.

          scene of massive devastation with buildings leveled, trees thrown about like toys, cars smashed and thrown about. A lone shivering rain-soaked woman stands before her wrecked home, sobbing as she tells a local news crew her ordeal

          " It was horrible. At first, the rains started, and then slowly, a soft sound was heard. A soft, comforting melody, I thought. I was wrong. Soon, the massive tone driven soul of Keep Your Head To The Sky was all around us smashing into buildings with the force of 6 Grammys and 4 American music awards. It quickly switched to Shining Star and reached the force of a number 1 hit on the Hot 100, and the roof gave way during the chorus." She broke down again, sobbing before muttering “I lost my husband on the back end of the storm when Let’s Groove started after the eye passed over. I don’t know what to do!”

          she turns back to her ruined life, knowing the Earth Wind and Fire hurricanes are getting stronger with each passing year.
