I have noticed President Donald Trump avoids making statements on what really matters until it is too late or he is forced to after backlash from people on the internet as well as news sites. Trump also uses what he tweets about to hide what is happening in Washington. It is becoming a very troublesome trend of this presidency.

The most recent example of what I mean is his response to our American brothers and sisters in Puerto Rico, who were devastated by Hurricane Maria. A week after this storm, Puerto Ricans are still running low or without food, gas and water. Hospitals are without power, and life-saving machines have to run on emergency power like
generators that run on gasoline. Without gas these machines will turn off, killing more people than I want to type.

One day after the Hurricane swept through the region Trump did tweet that he was with Puerto Rico and its people, but then we heard nothing again from him or the White House about Puerto Rico until today.

We did see, however, many tweets about the fake news, the Russia “hoax,” tweets attacking John McCain and Rand Paul and the “little rocket man.” And not let us forget Trump’s attacking NFL players who took a stand against police brutality, by calling them, “sons of b*****s.” This attack did not last one day or one tweet; Trump tweeted about the NFL a total of 17 times in three days before we heard anything about Puerto Rico again.

Trump received a ton of criticism on social media from a wide range of people-from celebrities to my brother. Many believe his attack on the NFL is a way for him to cover up that yet again another, and likely the last, Republican Healthcare Bill has been pulled from a
vote. I am left feeling like Tweak from South Park, just waiting and worrying about what Trump will do next.
