The very strange timeline of Trump’s “actions” during the Hawaii missile scare

What???? Are you kidding me? What kind of snowflake was to be "assured" or comforted after a false report? That is complete silliness. What is he supposed to say? " I am sorry some complete dumbass sent out a false alarm? - but trust me - you will know it when the real thing happens?"

It's too much to ask or to expect from Trump -- I am aware of that... his recreational activities shouldn't be interrupted.

It is it stupid whiney, needy and baby to ask ANYONE. It is pure siliness. If someone needs to be consoled after something that was obviously completely done in total error - they need to go to their therapist and get some increase in their meds. I have literally never even heard of anything so ridiculously stupid.

If Trump had come out and said anything you liberals would have accused him of starting a panic.

Your TDS is something to behold.

It shows how the two presidents handle their reaction ..when there is a crisis.

No, clearly there was no missile.

For 38 minutes, apparently they didn't know that.

This is just bizarre.

It was huge news, right? An alert went out advising that a US state was about to get hit with ballistic missiles. It took 38 minutes before Hawaiians knew that it was a false alarm. Mass panic ensued in the interim.

A great time for a president to jump right on it and speak to the people. To calm fears, tell all of America what the real deal was, and the like.

So, what was Trump up to? Well, it seems he was wrapping up his near-daily golf game when it started. Then he sat down for a nice lunch at his golf club. He said nothing about the matter for hours. We’re not even sure where he was during the critical events, when he was briefed, or what, if anything, he directed after he was briefed.

We do know that his first tweet, many hours after the events, was one of his routine asinine tweets bashing the media and “the book.” Nothing about the Hawaii crisis. Thereafter, he uttered his first words on the matter, which boiled down to repetitively stressing that it was “a state thing,” as if to say “Don’t blame me.”

So totally bizarre. See the timeline in the link...

It's all on Hawaii. It was their decision to terrorize their citizens for 40 minutes. Your attempt to drag Trump into it is laughable.

See post above about our “new normal” in the Trump era.

Truly bizarre.

Bugsy McGurk said:

Yup...our “new normal”...

A false ballistic missile alert leaves much of a state’s people agonizing for 38 minutes about being imminently immolated, and the appropriate response by a president is to keep golfing through it, followed by a nice lunch at the club, with the White House left hemming and hawing about the president’s awareness and/or response.

Yes and that still does not make it an actual crisis. They have every right to be pissed at the person who created the panic but that does not make a complely made up lie an actual crisis.
