As a Houstonian, I don’t particularly want the feds in here. I figure that they’ll just make things more complicated while lining their pockets. We and Texas know how to take care of ourselves...and way too many others (see: Katrina).
That said, because George W. Bush had such a pansy, anemic ability to defend himself, he capitulated in the face of unwarranted criticism to his government’s response and shoved untold billions of dollars into NOLA after Katrina. As we know, there was immense graft that came with that money. HOWEVER, Bush set the precedent for federal disaster response that no President will ever be able to go against again.
Trump knows this, and he’s got more important fish to fry. And his party in Congress are a bunch of uncooperative, subversive, limp-dicked assholes to him and the American people. If he steamrolls them in a situation like this, I don’t care. And he gets to say that he was “bipartisan” and then hold that up against both sides when it serves his purpose. My only regret is that he didn’t use an actual steamroller on them.
Trump working with the Dems is a good Idea.They can help him get a lot of his agenda passed. The Gop has always been full of un American snakes.
