President Trump's major Failure appears to be that he didn't erect a Giant Umbrella to shelter the Anti-Trumpers in Houston, TX ....... a mere 210.5 Miles from the Landfall of Hurricane Harvey - the CAT 4 storm that hit the Seaside Town of Rockport.

You just can't make this stuff up .... the lack of concern for others and the constant attacks on President Trump.
Even when communities were hit by a large hurricane.

Lol, like Trump cares about them. He used the cover of the Hurricane to pardon a racist buddy of his and ban transgenders from the military.

And Scooby lives in Houston. Trump is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Who cares that he said Good Luck? He also has offered resources. What's wrong with people? It really is up to local governments to handle these matters more than some people in Washington.

On Thursday, Salon was already saying Trump failed in his first disaster response when the hurricane hadn't even made landfall yet. It's why so many people ignore them now.

Enforcing US immigration law isn't racist. Canada does the same thing. Is Trudeau racist because Canada enforces their immigration law? Are Canadians racist?

Correct. Local and State officials are in charge. Trump authorized the full support of Federal aid if they need and request it.

Apparently, the Lt. Governor said the worst rain won't hit Houston until Wednesday.
Oh man, that has to have her rattled. Is she alone? Hopefully not.

So after the hurricane heads out you're still looking at heavy rain and flooding? I would be freaking out having to live in areas that had that kind of weather - but I suppose you just buck up and do what you have to do to get through it.

Glad it's been light for you, though. Maybe Mom should have headed to your house!

Just be glad you have a job? If Houston is anything like Dallas employers cant find enough employees to fill the needs of the economy.


Lets not attempt to turn this political.

I read the bolded article. I don't care for Trump and didn't vote for him, but while Harvey is out in the gulf and Trump has pledged fed assistance , some nitwits have already declared his response to the disaster a failure without even seeing how he would respond.
