trump... 'nobody's ever seen anything like this'

The Galveston Hurricane of 1900 was the deadliest hurricane in the history of the United States, killing at least 8,000 people. The 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane caused at least 2,500 casualties, and in 2005, Hurricane Katrina killed about 1,500 people. In the 1893 season, two hurricanes each caused over 1,000 deaths.

hyperbole helps no one.

We keep forgetting, trump actually has the mind of a 9 yr old sociopath.

Bad combo. Real dangerous.

But the older hurricanes were much more dangerous because of the lack of warning. Even the Labor Day Hurricane was something of a surprise to all those guys.

4. Typical Narcissist. If he hasn't seen it in real life, nobody's ever seen it.

It's not hyperbole, it's just he can't imagine that far outside his personal existence. History doesn't exist, and the future doesn't exist. It's all "now-here" to him.
He thrives on chaos and personal vendettas. He'll forget about the damage to and suffering in Houston when the next crisis hits or when someone "disrespects" him.

Well of course not. As everyone knows. It's all a hoax and fake news.
