When Donald Trump finally traveled to Puerto Rico last year to visit survivors of Hurricane Maria, his behavior alternated between “socially awkward monster” and “carnival barker.” At a press conference, he blamed Puerto Rico for screwing up the U.S. budget and insisted that its storm wasn’t “a real catastrophe like Katrina.” At a relief center, he tossed rolls of paper towels into the crowd like it was Friday night at Madison Square Garden, and he was working the T-shirt cannon. One year later, has his humanitarian-crisis bedside manner improved at all? Not exactly!

Visiting the Carolinas yesterday for the first time since Hurricane Florence made landfall, killing at least 37 people, the president kicked things off by inquiring about the important stuff, i.e. his Trump National Golf Club in the region. “How is Lake Norman doing?” he asked an official. When he found out it was fine, he responded “I love that area. I can’t tell you why, but I love that area.”

Later, high on the news that his money-maker had made it out in one piece, he excitedly chatted with an older man whose house had been damaged in New Bern. “Is this your boat?” Trump asked the guy, gesturing toward a yacht that had crashed into the backyard of his home. When the man said no, Trump responded, “At least you got a nice boat out of the deal,” suggesting that the law pertaining to such things operates on a finders-keepers basis.

And, of course, it wouldn’t be a Trump appearance without at least one deeply awkward interaction involving him telling people who just lost everything to get out there and enjoy themselves:

Later, Trump helped distribute box lunches consisting of hot dogs, chips, and fruit, to people who had waited over an hour to collect the meal. “Got it? Have a good time,” Trump said as he handed one man a meal, prompting an MSNBC reporter to exclaim off-camera, “I think he just said, ‘Have a good time!’”

Amazingly, it isn’t the first time the president has fallen back on this particular verbal tic in the wake of a natural disaster. He similarly urged Maria victims to “have a good time” after his paper towel-pelting routine, and he used the same line about a month earlier, while visiting Houstonians affected by Harvey.
