Texas flooding

Trump sent you a nice tweet over Truth Social. You won’t get much more than that from him, so you might as well frame it.

We told you he only cares about giving billionaires tax cuts, and he would cut everything else to give them those tax cuts, plus raise our national debt into the stratosphere. We’re already paying $88 billion dollars a month in interest on our national debt, and now it’s going to be more.

But you didn’t want to listen, did you? So now you will have to deal with this on your own. It’s very sad. Thoughts and prayers for Texas. We didn’t do this to you.

You did.

Bob, I don't like Trump either, but this sort of thing at a time like this is not helpful.

Donald J. Trump wrote:The Trump Administration is working with State and Local Officials on the ground in Texas in response to the tragic flooding that took place yesterday. Our Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, will be there shortly. Melania and I are praying for all of the families impacted by this horrible tragedy. Our Brave First Responders are on site doing what they do best. GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES, AND GOD BLESS TEXAS!
Donald J. Trump wrote:I just signed a Major Disaster Declaration for Kerr County, Texas, to ensure that our Brave First Responders immediately have the resources they need. These families are enduring an unimaginable tragedy, with many lives lost, and many still missing. The Trump Administration continues to work closely with State and Local Leaders. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem was on the ground yesterday with Governor Greg Abbott, who is working hard to help the people of his Great State. Our incredible U.S. Coast Guard, together with State First Responders, have saved more than 850 lives. GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES, AND GOD BLESS TEXAS!
I expect Trump to visit there soon. Even though he’s not naturally touchy-feely like Obama and Biden, they love him there, and his presence will be comforting.

I can't argue with that. He's narcissistic, incoherent, vindictive, unstable, petty, rude, and just plain despicable. But since he doesn't make any effort to hide any of that, I would say that makes him pretty genuine.

And yes, Sonya Johnson's statement was completely inappropriate.
