Those people are losing their homes and livelihoods!

1. Does he even know about it?

Hawaii is a blue state and it is an "island in the middle of a big ocean"

[lpbk2713]

2. Maybe he'll send them some paper towels.

But that would be the most he would do.

3. He probably likes Hawaii about as much as Puerto Rico

[Wounded Bear]

4. Isn't that up to the governor?

I know it's terrible for those who've been directly affected, but has it spread to more than a small area?

Last I heard it is pretty localized to a small corner of the big island.

5. actual damaged area just a few square . beyond homes, some infrastructure

like roads, utilities

[Fred Sanders]

6. TV never shows a map of the affected area...a few square miles in a remoter area. The vast

majority of the island is as safe as ever....ratings.

7. I thought Hawaii was part of Kenya...?

It would not surprise me if some Americans* thought that could be true.

8. No, he's too busy

With the one at the White House and his administration has going on from all the corruption going on, and all the investigations against them.

9. The governor declares a state of emergency.

He has not done that. After the state declares the governor asks the President to assist. There is no emergency in any large area of Hawaii.
