Between the Scenes - Las Vegas, Puerto Rico and How Trump Responds to Tragedy: The Daily Show

- One thing that's particularly illuminating
for me on the Trump issue is how
he and how people deal with mass shootings in America.
On his side, I found it intriguing that
after Puerto Rico's devastation,
hurricane hits them,
immediately he starts tweeting out,
oh, this was a broke nation,
they didn't pay their bills.
They owed Wall Street, they were in debt,
they didn't keep up their infrastructure, they didn't,
immediately blaming the people of Puerto Rico.
A hurricane hit them.
No one plans for a hurricane.
You can literally do nothing about a hurricane.
And then you see him today giving his address
and he's like, you know, these poor people,
and the evil and the scourge that hit them.
And I go, not that you shouldn't have said that,
but you've displayed that you do have
the ability to display sympathy,
just not for certain people.
You know what I mean? (audience applauding)
So when you,
you're speaking about people who've been shot,
they've been gunned down,
and you just go, let's just in this moment,
let's just acknowledge their pain and suffering.
And then Puerto Ricans you're like
let's talk about what they could've done,
things that they could've,
and there's literally nothing.
And that's the irony of the whole situation for me
is people speak about mass shootings
like they are natural disasters.
People speak about it like there's nothing you can do.
Absolute.
Well what are we, that's another one.
Oh, another one hits.
There's nothing we can do.
What can we do?
And it's like, there is something you can do.
(audience applauding)
There is something you can do.
(audience applauding)
