Remember when?

Trump attacked Biden after the hurricane wiped out a big part of North Carolina. He was quick to point fingers and blame FEMA for lack of an adequate response.

Now, he is stuck with a disaster in Texas with a heart-wrenching loss of life. He doesn't want to talk about FEMA or the fact that National Weather Service was one of the cuts he chose to make in his attack upon our government.

I've always found it rather strange that he seemed to think nothing like that would ever happen on his watch?

And then, there were all the MAGAs screaming to make public the Epstein list. Now, during all this chaos , Trump's DOJ and FBI are now saying there is no "client list". Epstein committed suicide. End of story.

as FEMA, trump is preaching a different story now. He wants to slough off natural disaster responsibilities onto the individual states, which is of course moronic as states don't have even close to the resources/fundng of the federal government.

The Texas flooding disaster is happening now and flooding is also happening in North Carolina. trump's wish to pass off FEMA duties onto those two states, instead of strengthening FEMA, of course won't work.

Thinks are not looking good for the trump cabal. People/states will suffer and voters will notce in '26.

...functioning human being with a typical filter for basic emotions like shame and embarrassment that would lead him to say normal things in normal situations and accept responsibility when warranted.

That's clearly not how the thing that occupies the space in his head where a normal human's brain is works.
