Will the Trump administrations reaction to a major natural diaster be better or worse than....

[Tommy_Carcetti]

...the Bush administration's reaction to Katrina?

I'm going to go ahead and say worse, because so far at this point this administration has taken what we had thought was the very worst of the Bush administration and managed to dial it up to eleven.

1. without a doubt...worse. nt

2. He'll charge FEMA to deliver trump bottled water and trump steaks to the hurricane shelters

3. I am sure they will welcome their truckload of PlayDoh

4. If there is any way he can fuck it up &blame Obama or Hillary,

he will seize the day with loud, provocative BS.

5. Things should be in motion already.

Trucks with ice and water should be ready to go.

The other Fema services right behind.

I guess Red Cross will be there.

6. Worse...

[bearsfootball516]

7. I will guess it'll be better

Because people have learned from the massive fuck up that was Katrina. That was practically a "Don't do this" video for disaster relief.

8. Better, because he picked a qualified FEMA head

Which means he doesn't care about disaster relief so he won't get in the way. Unless he gets knocked off the headlines for a few days, in which case he will say something stupid.

9. Hopefully the response from FEMA itself will be better. Can't do a whole lot worse.

However, the response from Trump himself will be a whole different story.

10. The new FEMA administrator actually looks pretty qualified.

11. Curious to see who Trump will blame first.

I don't foresee him actually going to the area to survey the damage and listen to the people after the hurricane.

[no_hypocrisy]

12. I hope Texas, Louisiana, and Florida aren't expecting to see any FEMA money.

13. trump will look to profit off this....n/t

14. His reaction will be much worse ..

.. I think we are now officially living in a state
of social darwinism and survival of the fittest.

Rugged invidivualism forever! (sarcastic emoji here)
