[QUOTE="fishtm2001, post: 5987998, member: 54375"] donald was worst of all. Bush at least felt that he had to at least try during a disaster, however but not donald. He did manage to appoint a FEMA guy with some experience, who did relatively well in the response to Hurricane Harvey in Texas but it was a different story in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. FEMA was [URL='https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/coralewis/fema-hurricane-maria-puerto-rico-response-inadequate']unprepared and overstretched[/URL], and just as with Katrina, rescue and repair efforts were very slow to start.
