https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/29/us/trump-harvey-white-house-memo.htmlMr. Trump, one aide said, was fascinated by the long-term effect of water damage on structures in the Gulf Coast, peppering FEMA and National Security Council briefers with detailed questions about the flooding in Houston and Galveston. As the extent of the projected devastation became apparent over the weekend during a meeting at Camp David, he shook his head in disbelief and compared the situation to problems he experienced when managing his familys apartment buildings in New York. Water damage is the worst, he told one staff member, tough, tough, tough.

Why in heavens did republicans choose this ego-bloated assclown to be their "leader" and their "family values" role model. I cannot fathom.
