Particularly after the Puerto Rico disaster. Puerto Rico and New Orleans were run by inept Democrat administrations. They were a big reason the natural disaster was much worse in the recovery.

Exactly. The elected officials in Puerto Rico were incompetent and blamed their own failures on Trump. Supplies were sent in by our gov't and Samaritan's Purse that weren't distributed to the people. I donated money for the relief fund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No amount of feasible preparation - or post storm response - by the government of Puerto Rico would have made much difference in the impact of that storm. They simply didn't have the resources. The question is, what was the adequacy of the federal response after the fact? Of course, from your perspective, it would have to be inadequate as well because it's "government" and "government" by definition is evil, right? Only a nihilist would casually assign total responsibility for the response to such events to the victims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Government" except for Trump. Somehow he's exempt from such criticisms and disdain. The buck always stops somewhere else. Except when it's something good the government did. Then Trump gets credit. All bad government stuff is someone else's fault though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaturdayGT 719 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I was thinking about this earlier. Now, I dont think this about anyone in here, but I wonder how many of those who have so much invested in politics and are blinded by power, on both the left and right, are just praying for some major catastrophe with this storm where they can try and destroy Trump to regain some advantage in favor for them their party in the public eye?
