Donald Trump and the degrading paper towel volley

Republicans have to somehow stop the leadership cycle of stirring fear, causing intimidation and creating bigotry coming from Donald Trump. In fact, Donald Trump's abysmal behavior in Puerto Rico was beneath the dignity of any human being, while he was supposed to be offering help and support for their devastated human condition. Moreover, beautifully coiffed Melania Trump looked like she was a Greek stone statue standing next to her insensitive husband. She should be ashamed of herself for standing stoically by, while Trump created a toxic environment for the Puerto Rican people, who need help. Trump tossed rolls of paper towels over their heads in a degrading act, to signify their responsibility to clean up their island. Meanwhile, the Puerto Rican people were desperate for drinking water.
Disgusting degrading behavior when the Puerto Rican people are desperate for drinking water
I'm wondering if Education Secretary Betsy DeVos took note of the brand name on those disgusting paper towels Donald Trump threw at water needy Puerto Rico people.  I'm sure she'd have preferred to see him throw her company's logo, by using Amway products.

It's beyond my comprehension as a human being to try and understand how Republicans continue to tolerate this humiliating behavior by Donald Trump. Paper towel volley ball is no way to show Puerto Rico people how they are valued as American citizens.

My advice to all Republicans is to get out from under the evils being perpetrated by the Donald Trump administration before your legacies are glued like dark shadows to his worsening behaviors.

Somebody in the Republican party must show moral leadership and tell the American people that Donald Trump is unfit to be President of the United States. Please.

Borowitz and El Chapo - all truth has a germ of humor

This Andy Borowitz on line report from The New Yorker is a metaphor in humor. Why not El Chapo? All truth has an element of humor, enough to create the germ of satirical genius.

TRUMP PICKS "EL CHAPO" TO RUN D.E.A. (for the people challenged by acronyms, that's "Drug Enforcement Agency")

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—Just days after picking Betsy DeVos (married to Amway executive Doug DeVos) to run the Department of Education, President-elect Donald Trump has tapped another wealthy outsider by naming Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán to head the Drug Enforcement Administration.
(Donald Trump told the website "Snopes" that he neither confirms nor denies this report.)

In an official statement, Trump said that El Chapo’s “tremendous success in the private sector” showed that he has what it takes to “shake things up” at the D.E.A.

Trump’s appointment of the former drug lord surprised many in Washington, in no small part because acrimony between the two allegedly prompted El Chapo, in 2015, to put a hundred-million-dollar bounty on Trump’s head.

But, appearing on CNN, the Trump surrogate Kellyanne Conway said that the selection of El Chapo should surprise no one. “Mr. Trump always said that he would surround himself with the best people,” she said.

When asked why Trump had readily offered a job to El Chapo while still mulling the fate of another former adversary, Mitt Romney, Conway said, “El Chapo might not have voted for Mr. Trump, but that’s because he’s Mexican and in jail, and Mitt Romney is neither.” In fact, the appointment of the former Mexican drug kingpin is far from a done deal. 

Nevertheless, the associates of El Chapo report that he is “concerned” that being a member of the Trump Administration 
will be bad for his brand.
