Returning to Michigan this past weekend to hold an event that was reminiscent of a campaign rally, Trump reminded his supporters that he was skipping the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.
“You may have heard I was invited to another event tonight. I’d much rather be in Washington, Michigan, than Washington, D.C.," he said.
Back in this Washington, comedian Michelle Wolf closed her controversial stand-up routine with a line pertinent to thousands of Michigan residents:
“Flint still doesn't have clean water.”
Trump spoke for nearly 80 minutes, but he never mentioned the ongoing water crisis just 50 miles away in Flint — an issue that a government-appointed civil rights commission concluded in 2016 was exacerbated by “historical, structural and systemic racism combined with implicit bias.”
The life-threatening crisis has affected thousands of black families. Though things have improved, much more remains unaddressed. Irwin Redlener, a professor at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University, wrote about the lingering issues for Post Opinions last month:
Flint is dumbocrat controlled territory. What's he going to do call in surgical military strikes? Oh wait…
Jackson Russell
Do niggers expect Trump to be telepathic? How is he supposed to give a shit about your water problem if you only remind him about it AFTER he left Michigan?
The people of Flint Michigan are spineless cucks, they deserve to drink shitty water. Fuck them.
Blake Russell
Flint is 33% white. Good to know Zig Forums doesn't actually care about their own people.
Parker Bailey
the sourge of nigger hurts white people. doesnt mean white people should help those niggers just because white people live with them.
Samuel Rodriguez
right, we have to ignore all the other people suffering because there's idpol we can shoehorn into this to deflect blame from the system that made things this shit
Lucas Myers
it's like
Justin Hughes
Thats a weird way of ssaying 67% nigger.
Jayden Sullivan
When is Trump going to get off his ass and fix that shit.
Bentley Lee
Obama already drank Flint's water in 2014. Why does another POTUS have to do so?
Flint's water is not a federal issue, it's a Flint municipal issue.
Joseph Brown
what happened to the aid already sent to Flint, wasn't the local government suppose to fix the pipes? Let me guess all the aid money went to the leaders pockets! no more help for Flint until they get new competent leaders. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice…….
Xavier Richardson
The county already fixed their pipes, the city has no culpability at this point. The only problem now is all the upstanding citizens of Flint who won't/don't/cant't/haven't replaced the old pipes on their property. Any water problems left are due to the homeowners' incompetence, not the city's
Evan Scott

Ryder Green
This is what happens when you put diversity hire niggers at the helm of a sophisticated water purification plant. Nowhere else in the country has this problem.
Camden Peterson
Why would the federal government involve themselves in commies killing themselves?
Ethan Thompson
(((civil rights commission))) Is that the same reason why 89% of niggers in some detroit high schools… HIGH SCHOOLS, are functionally or totally illiterate?
Jackson Sanchez
k.
Andrew Foster
…How is it even relevant to him? The whole point of a stratified government is so that officials can handle problems at the appropriate level. The president doesn't resolve local stuff like property disputes or some random town's shitty, neglected infrastructure, that's left to the appropriate officials farther down the chain.
well don't just tell us about it, go pay your water bill then
Austin Kelly
also wow so much damage control on this thread, tell me something trumpcucks, does the guy you're shilling for directly materially help you in any way, shape of form?
Liam Long
Looks like a new snake oil Alex Jones can bottle and sell.
Should pass a bill to remove sales tax on bottled water
Nicholas Morales
And hand out free ammo with every purchase of water.
Christian Hernandez
its just standard cognitive dissonance, nupol is still stuck in denial that they got 4D chessed hard by a boomer isreali neocon, watching their mental gymnastics has become very entertaining recently.
Levi Ramirez
So white people don't have to pay taxes at gunpoint for that privilege?
Cooper Miller
I heard Trump bought property in Flint because he can't get water like that anywhere else.
Alexander Sullivan
Correction, It's what happens when the drinking water and sewer treatment plants are connected and the hired diversity niggers do their own plumbing.
Evan Allen
I agree this is a local problem. The people of Flint should rise up and kill their leaders and replace them with new ones who are willing to spend money on infrastructure instead of retarded bullshit, and the federal government shouldn't interfere. That's how state's rights should work.
Jack Rivera
...
Ayden Peterson
Obama didn't say a word as well
Luke Gomez
Yes.
Gymnastics over what? Some things have indeed improved but retards like you are still skulking around.
Oliver Sanders
Lower rate of deportation than obama at this point in his first term No wall Bombing syria Sucking jewish cock Pardoning jewish criminals :)
Angel Bailey

Levi Green
I'm still better off financially since Trump came into power which is what I was getting at. Meanwhile you're busy ranting about things that nobody else would have done either.
Lucas Young
To explain further nobody defends every one of Trumps actions that would be dumb. Not everything can be done instantly and not everything will actually ever be done. Lets say for example a full wall is built you cunts still wouldn't shutup about it.
Joshua Jenkins
Democratic led state screws the basic serives and expects the Republican president to save them Typical niggers.
Jeremiah Davis
He's the type of retarded who thinks if your candidate wins you get to have your own personal dictator for 4 years, forgetting that congress runs the country. If he's even a trump supporter to begin with
Jaxson Cruz
Choose one.
Michael Campbell
Spend a couple hundred for a multistage water filtering system, they've easily blown that on bottled water or on their daily lottery tickets and alcohol at poos convenient store, or better yet, move.
Sebastian Campbell
You guys keep saying this but the caravan pictures you guys kept strutting around clearly showed a wall, in fact the very wall you said doesn't exist.
Nolan Diaz
maybe the people should fucking move
Noah Harris
Flint is run by a nigger democrat, Trump has nothing to do with it.
Well, yeah. State responsibilities vs. Federal responsibilities has been a thing since day one, you know. And why would he waste time and money on places that want to impeach him and destroy his voters? Literally everybody else would ask the same question if their person was in charge.
In more ways than one, lel. That's deep, user.
Luke Reyes
All black women look like trannies, because black people in general look the same (like monkeys).
Josiah Nguyen
fences are not walls sweetie
Michael Hill
Michigans local government is a national embarrassment. Even Europeans are going "Why isn't anyone helping Flint? Its America and they have way more money then us, but we would have had it fixed in months" And I have to be like "We have the money, but instead of fixing the water supply we gave billions of dollars in bottled water away and now four years later there isnt anymore free water and the water supply is still shit"
The fact that we failed on a local level is embarassing, but when we failed on a national level it became our shame! What a disaster; our government publically forsook the American people. Our Union has been made into a big joke. Maybe you shitposters don't understand the implications, but it makes me sick to my stomach.
Josiah Thompson
Neoliberal/10
John Wilson
The Constitution limits what the federal government can do. This is spelled out in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments.
Jonathan Hughes
it has nothing to do with industrial pollution and companies weaseling out of regs that say they have to pay to clean up the messes they make
ignore the man behind the curtain he's just my friend
Robert Brown
God forbid the federal government micromanage when its own citizens are poisoned with tap water.
Truly the real danger here is government overreach.
Joseph Rogers
Look genius, this isn't a hollywood movie where a politician can just go "fuck the law I'm doing what's right". In case you missed it, that sort of thing is exactly what Trump tried to do at the beginning of his term before Congress put its foot down and explained that presidential mandates aren't a blank check to do whatever. What's actually happening here is the Washington Post is blatantly trying to throw a local government's failings at the feet of Trump, and you're eating it up because you refuse to acknowledge that maybe it's not just the right wing media outlets that are full of shit.
Thomas Jones
Sounds to me like 33% of Flint was dumb enough to live with niggers.
Nathaniel Myers
It's government corruption for sure, but not really Trump's fault. What's he supposed to do, give the corrupt state government a bunch of federal money? I'm sure that'll work. Take control of their government, stage a fuckin coup?
Eli Brown
Trump already addressed their problem with $100 million dollars
things like this take time to fix even wit the resources unless you expect them to waste billions to speed it up,,,
fucking libtards
Adrian Bailey
As a person who lives close, let me tell you about Flint. There is no crisis, there is however a media shitstorm. only a few blocks were ever affected by the disturbance of old pipes that caused the led spike. That spike was shown to have cleared in days. The refusal of the city to listen to its own engineers who told them that pulling water from a nearby river tomake up for a disruption in service is another fault. Another is the cronyism that surrounds all these Democrat cities in the state. They got their buddies to filter the water from the river, they didnt do a good job. This is the fault of the local government, not the State, not the Feds. By deflecting the issue they get to prolog there power, by blaming others they get to preserve there victim status. The "crisis" is fully resolved, has been for months, but if they never stop whining it never goes away Do you want someone to blame? Try the city planners who used shitty pipes decades ago, the shitty government who only after massive problems attempted to repair the pipes, who misappropriated 60 years worth of infrastructure dollars for gibs and hooker parties (see Detroit) Try the local contractors who cut corners to save money (on orders from higher ups to be shure) local civic leaders who instantly played the race card for more gibs and don't dare slow up the hysterics for fear of there income stream drying up, or the local media for feels over reals reporting. Not Michigan's fault that in a state surrounded by the same water our politicians sell to California a bunch of Democrat voting cretins can't get a drink. Not a governor who has run this state in the black for the first time in my life, and rightly pointed the finger at local fuckups and organised a state releif fund of shipped in 'free' water. But least of all the President who couldn't care less that Flint shit the bed yet again, at least they aren't the per capita murder capital of the nation anymore…
Gabriel Morgan
yes, he is supposed to give those incompetent idiots more other people's money, that is what they want
Zachary Garcia
...
Jaxon Reed
sauce, what's the plan to use that money to help, and will it be enough?
Matthew Mitchell
It is. Think about it for more than one second. The only reason the local people haven't risen up and lynched their city major is because outside forces would come in by federal law and "restore order".
Joshua Powell
I know that I, for one at least, want the feds in charge of my municipality! Dumb shit liberal.
Colton Jackson
You mean the issue Obama was quiet on
Michael Watson
Hispanics and jews ain't white
Brody Moore
lmao, wrong maybe 50 years ago, now they don't want to because they are too fat and lazy and still have netflix even though they don't have clean water
Wyatt Murphy
Trump only drinks Fiji water. Tap water's for niggers and spics.
and the millions of poor white trash that voted for him that he doesn't give a single fuck about :^)
Cameron Bell
Everyone who had a hand in creating the pre-requisites for this disaster to happen is already dead user. You can't really blame the company who tried to fix it either, as they tried to help only to have an unfortunate accident, shit happens. This was a problem created by big business as well as the government at the time when the mine that spilled all this shit was sealed up. Trump is now a part of the government, so technically yes it is his responsibility to help alleviate the unfortunate situation created by his predecessors. Mostly though this was the fault of whatever company owned that mine before and lazily dumped hazardous waste in that same mine (to cut costs). Though it doesn't help the very Laissez Faire attitude the government had when it came to environmental safety as well as a lot of other shit.
Colton Evans
"The results: 6.31 micrograms of arsenic per liter in the Fiji bottle, said Cleveland water quality manager Maggie Rodgers. Cleveland tap water as well as bottled brands Aquafina, Dasani and Evian had no measurable arsenic. "
