In fact, just a generic question, how could the response be better?

He should have thrown toilet paper at them too.

That is about the level of intelligence and understanding that I would expect from you.

Ask a stupid question...get a stupid answer. The truth is out there. Stop refusing to accept it.

-They waited too long to address the problems.
-They waited too long to send the USN Comfort.
-They waited too long to get military or the guard involved.
-They waited too long to get money sent.
-They aren't going to send enough money and the pittance they are going to send is a damned loan.
-They waited too long to set aside the Jones Act.
-They let the Jones Act expire.
-Trump shows no empathy towards anyone. Granted it doesn't result in physical things, but it sure goes a hell of a long way in getting others to aid in the cause. And jetting off to his damned golf courses and bitching about the stupid NFL while Americans are dying in hospitals that can't adequately function isn't inspiring much confidence in anything he does.
-They never put anyone really qualified in charge of the whole thing like Russel L. Honoré with Katrina.
-And myriad others.

And it's only going to get worse now that people are being forced to drink contaminated water to survive.

And just wait. The official death toll is about to go through the roof when they stop hiding the other deaths as not related!

But by all means...keep thinking that trump is doing his best. History will sort it out...and it won't be kind.

Yeah, about that boat. Kind of hard to send a boat out when the hurricane was still churning in the Atlantic. Anything to complain about I guess.

Why do you guys continually suspend reality just to make these idiotic points. No dude, no one is saying the ship should have been in PR waters when the hurricane was still there. FFS!
