Trump Decides To Use Hurricane Harvey As Cover To Pardon Fellow Birther And Racial Profiler Joe Arpaio

The reports begin coming in from the National Weather Service Thursday and Friday about the approach of Hurricane Harvey and the unprecedented devastation it may cause. One report after another comes in as each one gets more and more horrific in it's predictions, the stage is clearly set for Texas and it's coastal areas to get blasted beyond anything experienced before and so President Trump is jumping on the oncoming disaster to use it as a cover for very controversial actions he has held off on, most notably the pardon of Joe Arpaio. Hoping the news coverage of Hurricane Harvey would drown out expected wide-spread criticism, even from his own political party, Trump takes his focus off this historically devastating hurricane and on to his own controversial political concerns.

You would think most people would only go so far with so much pushing of extremely controversial racist hinted comments and statements but even in the face of such monumental catastrophic oncoming disaster of which Trump should be wholly and laser focused on, he, undaunted by the debacle in Charlotteville and then Phoenix, both full of racist inuendo and inference, goes ahead and seeks advantage in the diversion of a catastrophe to pardon Joe Arpaio who ran a relentless and brutal campaign to detain undocumented immigrants. The sheriff used chain gangs and prison tent cities during Arizona’s scorching summers, bringing scores of legal claims he violated the constitutional rights of Latinos. The Federal court agreed with the claims.

“For the majority of Latinos, Joe Arpaio is a symbol of racism, of discrimination, of anti-Hispanic sentiment, or anti-immigrant sentiment, of abuse of power, and this is the guy Donald Trump chose to pardon,” said Ana Navarro, a Republican strategist.

For some Joe Arpaio is most notably known for his birther stance against President Obama. Next to Trump, Arpaio is the second leading proponet of the birther issue.

So this is the president you now have. One that will instead of wholly focusing on preparing to deal with the thousands of people in life threatening situations in southern Texas, focuses on political advantage for himself and on of all things a sheriff convicted of racially profiling in contempt of court and his birther buddy and all of this in the aftermath of racial inflammation in Charlotteville and Phoenix.

All this should inform you that Trump will use the most scurrilous and devious tactics to benefit himself and his political standing and most likely before it is all over will resort to use of a conflict somewhere, somehow to take the heat off himself as the Russia investigation bears down on him, no pun intended.
In short, people will come second and Trump first. In this life.
