As I write this, the death toll from the catastrophic flood in central Texas has reached at least 109, as per KHOU. That includes 30 children. The station also reported Tuesday, "Officials said they would begin reviewing the emergency response once search-and-rescue operations are complete. That includes examining how weather warnings were issued and whether communication failures played a role in the lack of evacuations." But Donald Trump is patting himself on the back because two or three hundred could have died. Trump went on to say that he and the "first lady" will visit Texas on Friday. "We don't want to get in anyone's way," Trump said, as explanation for the delay. "Because, you know, that's what happens. The president goes and everyone's around, focused on " I don't want anyone to focus on us." Oh, come on. Trump wants everyone to focus on himself all the time, even in the wake of unspeakable tragedy.
