I prefer to call the defeat "Trump's last stand".

But only because I personally lost friends, a multi-million dollar studio project, and much of my city, state, and surrounding states.

Too painful to even use in comparisons.

But everybody knows W's Katrina moment, but many of us on the ground were busy tearing out sheetrock, burying the dead, and helping neighbors. Thank goodness everybody else cared even when W was clueless. As was the future Florida Secretary of State.
