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

Bugsy McGurk

President
There is everything fake about a missile alert when there is actually no missile. That is sort of the definition of false alarm. Which is why it is called you know ... false. As in there was no reason for any concern. And it was not an actual crisis.
The typical Republican reaction to something - if you don’t have the problem, there is no problem.

Scores of Hawaiians racing around looking for shelter, praying, texting out goodbyes to loved ones, but it didn’t affect you. So, there “was no reason for concern, and “it was not an actual crisis.” No reason for Trump to interrupt his golf game or lunch.

Sheesh.

Hawaii is a state in the Union that Trump was elected president, obviously with your help.
He needs to do his job. As of yesterday he hadn't mentioned the mudslides in CA or the deaths caused by the mudslides either. Too busy hitting a little ball around....it's all he's capable of.
Should he send a personal condolence to the family of every American who kicked. The bucket yesterday while he is at it? Is that what the job is? To run around ecpressing grief and solidarity and consolation from coast to coast

Sheesh.
There was absolutely no problem. There was no missile, there was no crisis. and because there was not any actual crisis we have no idea when he was informed that it had even happened. BEvsuse again the whole thing was false.

An hour.....

Yet O and Killary slept all night while our Ambassador was under attack by terrorist...13 hours......yes, your enduring outrage is partisan.

By time Trump got live on TV the false alert would have already been stood down.......and the employee that hit the wrong button wasn't fired, just assigned elsewhere!
6 hours.

It was a completely erroneous announcement - by an State run system. Why in the world would the President be notified every time a state emergency notification system sends out a false alarm? Why would anyone comment on a false alarm once everyone knew it was entirely erroneous?
A false alarm of a missile strike is a national emergency. And there was plenty of time before "everyone knew" for the president to show leadership.
 

EatTheRich

President
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.
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.
It wasn't a "lie" or a "decision." It was an accidental false alarm.

War of the Worlds broadcast causing stampede in which people were trampled to death and referenced by Hitler in his propaganda: also not a crisis

Gulf of Tonkin hoax which led to escalation of Vietnam War: also not an actual crisis

Jade Helm rumors which caused right-wingers to kill cops: not a crisis

Nov. 4 "Antifa uprising" rumors used for radical right recruiting: not a crisis

The myth of Christianity that has led to the deaths of millions: not a crisis since there was no actual resurrection

Nah. More likely they knew it. The problem is they're so sick with TDS (remind you of anyone?), they were willing to terrorize their own citizens. Yes, I think this incident was intentional. You of all people should know how deranged leftists can be.
If true, and there's absolutely no reason to think Hawaii 's leadership are that reckless (just because Trump or some of his supporters would do something doesn't mean many people would), Trump had a definite obligation to play a major role in addressing what in such an event would be a very serious crisis.
 

EatTheRich

President
what was he to do in 3 minutes?
The question is not what he might have done if he'd thought it was a real missile ... and thank our fortune that he didn't do something crazy ... but how he was going to address the false alarm, the panic, and the public concern over his nuclear brinksmanship.
 

EatTheRich

President
Actually Pacific command reported the all clear in 2 minutes
Which says nothing about when Trump was informed. I bet they checked that before they told him about the alert in the first place ... which may be the only reason he didn't launch U.S. nukes. And they might have chosen not to tell him while he was golfing or at lunch either ... why jeopardize the stability of the situation by inviting a blundering, blustering, ignorant buffoon to take charge of it just because he is president ... for all we know, he found out about it from TV or Twitter ... and maybe that's for the best.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, get a job and help pay for it.........the $100,000,000+ O's spent on Vacations didn't include SS cost.......that cost comes for ALL POTUS..........now cry us a river
Get a job and help pay for Trump's profligate life. What next?
