Re: The American President's disaster 'response' in Puerto Rico...vis-a-vis his deep concern re the impending Hurricane Florence.
If a natural disaster in which F.E.M.A. (America's Federal Emergency Management Authority) so evidently dropped the ball as it did - 'ably' assisted (i.e. echoed) by a 'commander-in-chief' whose crowning contribution was personally chucking out stuff (was it bananas?) to crowding Puerto Ricans - was a success...I'd love to see what failure would look like!
As we're all now well aware, the number of fatalities have now been reckoned as over 3,000 - as opposed to the 60-odd long maintained...-and thus and so commentators on all sides of the political divide have accepted and have no dispute with (this latter figure).
A '"great, stupendous success story" (or words, and certainly sentiment, to that effect), Mr President?
Who d'ya really think you're kidding, I mean, really? Or do you take everyone else for sheer suckers?
Shades of George W's own (and FEMA's) 'disaster dealing' in New Orleans' Hurricane Katrina in 2005, or what?!?!?
P.S. All hats off to those media worldwide who're now giving priority coverage to the even more terrifying and fatality-ridden Typhoon presently afflicting western Pacific rim nations...which of course doesn't diminish one iota even the awful carnage now being wreaked upon America's mid-eastern seaboard by Hurricane Florence. But everything in relative perspective for a change.
