Politics might briefly be put on pause when it comes to federal/state cooperation in dealing with Hurricane Idalia.
But the Trump-hating liberal media never sleeps!
During today's Morning Joe, Willie Geist and Jonathan repeatedly emphasized that politics are being put aside in the dealings between the Biden administration and the administration of Florida Governor -- and potential Biden presidential opponent -- Ron DeSantis, as they organize the response to Hurricane Idalia.
But when the show aired DeSantis's live briefing on the hurricane, the very first question out of the box from a reporter was a snarky shot at Donald Trump. The unidentified woman reporter asked:
"What do you think about Trump? You know, he's a resident here in Florida, and he hasn't commented on Idalia at all yet."
To use a favorite Trump adjective, DeSantis, without hesitation, gave the "perfect" response during a crisis, putting politics to the side:
"It's not my concern. My concern is protecting the people of Florida."

I just read that Trump put out four statements yesterday attacking DeSantis. It’s telling that the Trump tribe would be concerned about a reporter asking a fairly benign question about whether DJT has made a statement regarding Hurricane Idalia. Which he hadn’t.
Don’s Dainty Darlings in the cult sure are sensitive to anything asked about him that doesn’t result in a chorus of adulation.
Trump is showing himself to be an increasingly frustrated with RDS with each passing day. His ploy to buy polls and hire internet surrogates isn’t gaining him any traction.
He keeps begging for the best governor in the USA to drop out, even in the midst of a hurricane in in home state, citing his lack of personality and lack of flashiness, because Trump’s money is running out fast. Trump campaign won’t last much longer without big donor money coming in.
Ironic isn’t it, that Trump has his followers believing that RDS is propped up by the very big money donors that Trump needs himself in order to keep his campaign alive?
