Did i hear Trump correctly?

[imanamerican63]

If so, what an absolute idiotic statement?

He claimed Helene was worse than Katrina?

Don’t get me wrong, but any hurricane is bad! Helene was a horrible storm & caused major damage with devastating results in loss of life, but Katrina was worse in a way were thousands of lives were lost. The only reason reason Trump brought it up was because he thinks that he could have responded to the crisis better than Bush did with Katrina and Biden did with Helene. Yet Trump thought by throw paper towel to people could clean up the mess “QUICKLIER”?


What arrogance he has? No matter the crisis each of them are different in location, landscape and environment!

So STFU Donnie!

1. If it is something stupid, he probably did. nt

2. It's sickening to compare disasters for political gain

It's early days. Expect the death toll from Helene to be in the thousands, as it was in Katrina. Whole families will have been wiped out.

3. Covid was his crisis and disaster, and he blew it big time. That's a fact.

What will he do in a second term with another crisis and disaster. Blow it no doubt. And I don’t expect JD to take over and do a good job.

4. he called the withdrawal from Afghanistan the worst day in american history

hes a narcissistic liar who will say anything that wasnt his administration or did was the worst

[harumph]

5. He meant to say Helene is worse you know, because Katrina mostly affected black people...

Helene OTOH affected fine real Americans.

7. Bingo!

6. Remember Trump's idea to nuke hurricanes? He knows best!

8. I was in a business meeting yesterday where someone made that talking point

I didn't realize it was straight from tRump's mouth.

Helene affected several states. The thing about Hurricane Helene in Georgia is that we didn't think it would be that bad for those of us who were further inland. When I saw the path, I figured it would be like the other rare tropical storms that came through the Atlanta metro area. There were a lot of issues in some parts of Atlanta due to flooding, but Helene pivoted very harshly towards the east coast and really fucked up some people who were not expecting it to be in their area at all, particularly Augusta, Georgia.

We work with several offices throughout Georgia and there are still some people in Augusta who do not have power and it's been over a week. Some of our employees were trapped in their neighborhoods due to trees blocking them in.

When I think about Katrina, I remember thousands of people drowning or trapped on rooftops due to flooding caused by levees failing/breaking. Unless you had a boat, there was no way to escape. The pictures coming out of North Carolina look similar to Katrina. Anyone who was caught in that area during the storm likely died or had to be rescued, but it did not turn into a situation where thousands of people were stranded for days because the water receded a lot more quickly.
