UPDATED post show: Given this year’s continuing string of unnatural disasters, a late-season hurricane poised to be a threat in the Gulf of Mexico, and the incoming Trump administration seemingly deadset on disrupting the Federal Emergency Management Agency and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, it’s high time to visit with a disaster policy expert.
Reader Glen Farber offered another poetic comment:
Trump’s response to disaster and plight,
Was a failure, try as he might.
With hurricanes brewing,
His actions kept screwing,
Up the efforts and made rescuers’ jobs far from right.
He muddled through Covid and Maria,
With an outburst of verbal diarrhea.
Tossing paper towels,
To a chorus of growls,
He became as popular as Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
