Bored President Tweetles While Texas Drowns

PINOOTUS Donald J. Trump has taken to the social media waves this Sunday morning, tweeting book reviews and travel plans while the Greater Houston area is in the midst of an enormous flooding disaster. Safe and dry in his warm cabin at Camp David, Trump is staying abreast of the situation by watching the Fox News Channel, which is broadcasting a telethon of Trump's campaign speeches from 2016, interspersed with reports on the ongoing investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails.

I've been watching local news feeds from the area, and the extent of this is just beginning to become known. Meanwhile, Trump is eating fried chicken and writing Tweets.

Nothing about mobilizing military units to assist in the situation. Nothing about anything, really. What a clusterwhatever.
