As severe flooding threatened Texas residents in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, President Donald Trump on Sunday focused on the wonderful response by government officials to the storm while marveling at the disasters scope.

Trump spent much of the weekend assuring Americans that he was following the storm, posting self-congratulatory tweets and boasting about the great talent on the ground.

So far, so good! Trump tweeted at Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Saturday, after the lawmaker warned that the storm presented a critical moment for the president, citing the poor response to Hurricane Katrina in 2005 by then-President George W. Bushs administration.

Later on Sunday evening, Trump issued another, similar tweet thanking no one in particular.

So, if you are Republican government official, the response was wonderful, because relatively few lives have been lost so far. But, if you were a Democratic official in Texas, your response was horrible?

2. Remind Texas voters that Trump cut funding for the Coast Guard

who have already rescued over 100 people during this hurricane. Serving honorably with less personnel, equipment, and supplies than they need for this massive effort.

And I'll remind liberals that the Coast Guard remains the most open to diversity and equal opportunity out of the armed services and the Commandant ADM Zukunft told Dumbo to go F himself on the transgender ban. There are LGBT people and officers involved in saving the lives of these Texans.

4. The voters need to know

that the local CG call centers in the Houston area are overwhelmed with calls for rescue efforts.

Safety check for Hurricane. The number of people begging to be rescued is heartbreaking. They're working as hard as they can, but there is an endless need there.
