Perhaps he or his goons could tweet something that would reassure those real people? I get bits and pieces of news, it looks like one governor in Mississippi had to write a letter to beg, others had to beg in south Georgia, I haven't seen a disaster declaration signed. The tornadoes were on Saturday, dammit. The governor in Georgia was 'confident' Trump would resond. I'm not.

In Mississippi, where more than 1,000 homes were damaged in the Forrest County area, Gov. Phil Bryant said he wrote a letter to the new president asking for aid, NBC News reports. Georgia's Dougherty County commission chairman Chris Cohilas said he was "begging FEMA for boots on the ground" and "asking President Trump to cut through the red tape and get people on the damned ground here."

No sympathy for the lack of federal response that they chose. They made a choice. This is the result of that choice.
