Donald Trump has presided over the worst hurricane disaster in American history, with Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, leading to 3,000 deaths, the same as the attack on Al Qaeda on September 11, 2001.
He has the gall and the lack of empathy to claim a “great success”, and it is clear Trump is totally delusional, and criminal in his lack of taking responsibility for the disaster that could have been handled better by the Federal Emergency Management Agency,
And now, just in advance of hurricane season, and the menacing Hurricane Florence about to assault North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia, in what some think could be the worst hurricane in memory, it has been revealed that $10 million has been transferred to ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to arrange for more detentions of immigrants than already has occurred, marking the greatest such detention facilities since the Japanese Americans in World War II.
It is a criminal act to promote continued and expanded detention, and it is also criminal to take funds out of FEMA as we face another hurricane disaster season.
There has to be, eventually, full accountability for these crimes for top officials in the Trump Administration, and if the nation cannot protect its own citizens from harm from natural disasters, then how can they protect us from harm from a foreign foe, from terrorism?
That is the number one question to ask of the Trump Administration, which is proving to be more incompetent on hurricanes than even George W. Bush on Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, Louisiana in 2005.
I will post the following from “NBC Newsâ€:
‘House GOP ‘screwed’ as bad political numbers pile on Trump’
By Jonathan Allen (09.13.2018)

“Several reputable polls released in the last week have placed Trump’s approval rating below 40 percent, meaning there aren’t many people outside his base who think he’s doing a great job. Recent generic ballot surveys, which measure whether voters want Republicans or Democrats in control of Congress, have pointed to a Democratic advantage ranging from 10 points to 14 points.â€
If the 2018 Democrats win a pickup of the U.S. Popular Vote by +10 to +14 percentage points, which would be a 2016-to-2018 national shift of +11.08 to +15.08 to reach that +10 to +14, they will win over a new majority of the U.S. House with their pickups in this range: +39 to +54 seats. The post-2018 Democrats would go in with the next session, in January 2019, with anywhere between 234 to 249 seats.
Fantastic, D, and I have just published a blog entry on the declining polls for Trump!
While the hurricane is going on, our dumb dumb “president” is busy on Twitter telling lies about the death toll in Puerto Rico.
https://www.cnn.com/2018/09/13/politics/trump-puerto-rico-death-toll/index.html
That Tweet is yet more proof showing he’s mentally ill.
News is reporting about water rescues going on in New Bern, NC. Footage of the rescues reminds me of Katrina.
Rational Lefty writes,
“That Tweet is yet more proof showing he’s mentally ill.â€
I don’t make a point of following tweets from President Donald Trump.
I will say this: It is likely they are all not tweeted directly by Trump. Most of them…perhaps. A good number, it is likely, come from a ghost writer authorized by Trump.
Seconded, Rational Lefty. Mr. Longman at the Washington Monthly nails it! The crazy must not be allowed to continue!

If he has a ghost writer for his Twitter account, guarantee you it’s Stephen Miller.
He’s tweeting about the death toll yet again today. He’s obsessed with it because it ruins his image he’s built up in his narcissistic mind that he’s a great leader.
Flo’s flooding rains are coming up to our neck of the woods today and Monday, along with a low risk of isolated tornadoes.
In addition to taking money away from FEMA, Trump is also diverting millions of dollars in funding from the CDC, the National Institutes of Health, and other important programs, to pay for his kiddie prisons.
