This is what Donald Trump said last week on
Greta’s show. The Donald said we would get some rain, and some wind, but no big deal. He said the news media was just trying to make get better ratings.
Yep.....Shepherd Smith hasn’t shut up since the storm started. He makes his own news. I’m glad people took care of themselves but this is the only thing that Smith is talking about.
And it worked........ Even so this was not a storm to ignore. They said from the beginning it was a "water storm" more than anything else.... once they saw how slow it would move across the coast. And that is exactly what it has been...streets flooding...ocean surges etc. Falling trees and limbs on an already saturated ground.
I also tend to believe the many prayers that it would weaken and spare the coast were answered.....and all are grateful it was not near what might have otherwise been possible.
And it allowed the PRETENDER IN CHIEF to be in charge (as compared to Bush and his failure in New Orleans) to improve his ever falling approval ratings. Obama and his handlers think Americans are dumb enough to factor his silliness into their decision making process. In some cases, they are right (i.e. some Americans are much dumber than that, they will vote for Obama again).
