President Donald Trump on Sunday dedicated a golf trophy to hurricane victims in Texas, Florida and Puerto Rico, and it didn’t go well.
As Trump spoke at Liberty National Golf Course in Jersey City, New Jersey, someone in the crowd called out: “You don’t give a shit about Puerto Rico.”
Online, the reaction was about the same:
Fake media won't report how Trump is helping Puerto Rico ..... by dedicating a golf trophy to them. SAD. https://t.co/gpDSvhyMWE

My God, trump really did just dedicate a golden Trophy to the people of Puerto Rico. I would laugh if it weren't so damn trashy & pathetic.

"We don't have drinking water, electricity, medicine, or food. But Trump dedicated a golf trophy to us, so it's OK now."

-No Puerto Rican
Hey Puerto Rico - you still don't have electricity or drinkable water. But good news: Trump dedicated a golf trophy to you. Feel better now? https://t.co/8ddoJLMGI2

Hey, asshat Trump, Puerto Rico doesn't want your President's Cup trophy dedication. They want water, food, health supplies.

I don't think there is a better scenario to describe this year than Trump recieving a trophy for his hard work golfing... & he dedicates it to millions he attacked while they were suffering

I'm sure hurricane victims would rather have electricity, food, and water. https://t.co/ED9FibmcsN

Dedicating a golf trophy to the victims of a hurricane makes as much sense as me dedicating a bowl of cereal to victims of diabetes.

Trump dedicated a golf trophy to Puerto Rico. A job well done sir! Mission accomplished.

"Mr. Trump, the people of Puerto Rico report they still need food and fresh water."

"What, on top of the golf trophy? It's never enough!"
See, Trump's not so bad - hurricane victims can use the trophy to bail the water out their flooded houses. https://t.co/3AidnSGG5w

Trump just dedicated a golf trophy to hurricane victims. Jesus Christ.

That awkward moment when libs say Trump isn't doing anything for those dying in Puerto Rico and then Trump dedicates a GOLF TROPHY to them.

I bet everyone who was critical of Trump’s response to Hurricane Maria is feeling silly now that he’s dedicated a golf trophy to victims!
