The Left Will Blame Trump

for Hurricane Harvey
..........................................................................................................................................................................

Before Hurricane Harvey even made landfall on the Texas coast, what Sean Hannity calls the “Destroy Trump Media” was already condemning President Trump’s handling of this natural disaster. No doubt Trump’s withdrawal from the Paris Climate Accords will soon be blamed for this and every other natural disaster. As Salon shrieked:

• Hurricane Harvey is predicted to be the first major storm in a decade -- and Trump just tweeted a useless promotional ad in preparation.
  .
  According to the White House, Trump was briefed on the government’s hurricane preparation efforts earlier this month, but his campaign-style commercial -- fitted with a dramatic soundtrack -- failed to convey any of that information to worried residents in the storm’s path. His tweet did not include basic information, like who is in danger, how to be prepared or what the government is doing to prepare.

Same song...different verse, as Katrina.

• ...President Bush declared the state of Louisiana a disaster area 48 hours before Katrina made landfall and asked Blanco to order a mandatory evacuation of New Orleans on Aug. 27, a full two days before the hurricane hit.

Same thing is happening now with Trump and Harvey.

I find it to be very disturbing, but not the least bit surprising, at how gleeful and happy the news media are. They are as delighted that Harvey is wreaking death and destruction as a young child is in a candy store. They are particulary happy that it's in Texas.
