Will Harvey be Trump's First Major Natural Disaster?

[MineralMan]

It's looking like that might be the case. They're predicting two feet of rain or more all along the Gulf Coast of Texas, and that has the potential of displacing a helluva lot of Texans.

Now, Trump did manage to appoint a FEMA Administrator, William B. "Brock" Long, but who knows whether Trump gives a crap about this storm or even knows about it?

Keep an eye on Texas, everyone, over the next three or four days. It's going to be a dramatic storm that stays pretty still and will dump huge amounts of rain and wind on the Gulf Coast.

What will The Donwald do?

1. Trump IS a natural disaster

Someone had to say it.

[MineralMan]

2. Well, yes, of course.

But, what will he do about Texas? What of all the Yellow Roses?

[Orrex]

11. LOL. Full credit for being first to post what every person on DU was thinking.

[appleannie1943]

14. My first thought too.

3. Trump will ask

whether Mexicans can swim. Right?

[FSogol]

5. He needs that wall to keep Mexican rainfall out, but the obstructionist Democrats....

[maryellen99]

6. The population from Corpus to Brownsville is majority Mexican/Hispanic

I can see him in all seriousness deny federal aid.

[FSogol]

4. You mean beyond the natural disaster that is a Trump (Mis)administration?

[SummerSnow]

7. Of course he'll blame Obama

[dalton99a]

8. "Quick, get me on Air Force One" - He loves to watch people suffer

[Johnny2X2X]

9. This could be very very bad

The wind speed is what most people pay the most attention to, but this storm may stall out right on the coast for almost a week while still drawing energy from the gulf. 4-6 days of torrential down pours and hurricane / near hurricane winds would create unbelievable destruction.

[WhiteTara]

10. Or will this be his last?

Because he is impeached after this debacle too.

[katmondoo]

12. If that wall was in place now it would be knocked down in this storm

Mostly by the water, I think

[MineralMan]

13. I don't know whether a wall was planned along the

Gulf Coast. It wouldn't make much sense, it seems to me...

15. Maybe He'll Go Down, Hand a Few Aid Packages to Pence

to be distributed to the needy. He'll spend about 10 minutes total, including the speech inside the only safe building in town.

People will then swoon about how much he cares and moan about Obama and HRC,

PINO will then ignore every other natural disaster for the next 6 months, but nobody will notice.
