He has no clue, none, zero, about hardship or problems in general.

Money removes the vast majority of what you and I deal with all day long; he has no real life experience with most of life other than international travel, which for most people would be amazing experience, for him it is simply a way to make more money by stealing.


Ask yourself what you are going to do today, all day and tonight, what you will think about.

Now, you have 25 million in the bank, NOW what does your day look like?

The President should be in Texas right now.

Trump is not fit to be president, but the potus, no matter who, should be in Texas. There needs to be federal leadership, but likely Trump will just go off about the election again.

Unfortunately he decided to come to Austin near my wife's work....I wish he had gone to Amarillo or something....maybe el paso so they can sweep him across the border to Juarez and he'll disappear.

so they would in no way whatsoever interfere.

Trump is unable to do anything but interfere in a negative way, he sees this as fun.

Obama was at Sandy in 2 days.

Bush flew by Katrina and it didn't go well.

Harvey is lasting days/a week, if Trump waits too long the optics would be really bad.

Although I understand these levees were constructed in the 1970's.
