>> During the roundtable event, Trump brushed off a question from a Texas reporter concerning whether locals were properly notified in advance of the floods. When asked if he had a message for families who were upset about the alert system, Trump said, he thought "everyone did an incredible job under the circumstances." He later added, "Only a very evil person would ask a question like that."<<

Meanwhile, Noem's requirement that every expenditure for FEMA above 100k be directly vetted by her provided a delay in this case and showed a pointless bureaucratic micromanagement that cost time and lives. Noem wanted to exhibit a high profile cost cutting measure to parade before be new church of efficiency, now spread beyond Doge, who's high priest is now removed and threatened with literal exile.

But look at the thin skin here. A reporter asks about this and Trump reacts with this kind of hostility. Evil? From the guy who wants to extirpate (look it up) FEMA?

And I forgot to mention, this has all the same tone and tenor of W Bush's "you're doing a helluva job here Brownie" as he flew over a lake where New Orleans used to be.

Trump is an idiot. He will always say that it's great, the best ever or some other bullshit.

The truth is the fact that Trump instantly fucked up and that their ideas instantly failed. It cost lives and someone needs to be held accountable. That someone is Donald J Trump.

She was on meet the press this morning. There is no discussing anything with her. She merely announces that it was the best response ever and repeats when confronted with the facts to the contrary.
