I’ve seen others lose their homes or even their lives in the same storms that only cost me a tree or a front porch. It’s why I’m firmly rooting for Donald Trump to handle the Hurricane Harvey aftermath in competent fashion; we <i>need</i> him to somehow get this right for once. But based on how he’s already responded to it today, I don’t see it happening. And based on what’s trending right now, neither does anyone else.</p><div class="palm-after-first-paragraph" style="float: left; " id="palm-273769936"><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><!-- PalmerReport336-block2 --><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-0060505742272494" data-ad-slot="8294580504"></ins>

</script></div><br style="clear: both; display: block; float: none;"><p>After Trump’s initial tepid reaction to the Charlottesville white supremacist terrorist attack, I wrote that it could end up being his Hurricane Katrina. But I was speaking in metaphorical, political terms. And sure enough in the following he days he went on to make it much worse for himself by siding with the white supremacists. But now we’re facing an actual hurricane. And the nation’s confidence in Trump’s ability to get this right is so low that Katrina is suddenly prominent in the national discussion.</p>

Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of all people tweeted this message at Donald Trump tonight: “keep on top of hurricane Harvey don’t make same mistake Pres Bush made with Katrina” (<b><a href="https://twitter.com/ChuckGrassley/status/901065715767164928" target="_blank">link</a></b>). But many among the general public are being far less optimistic than Grassley, and are flat out stating their expectation that Trump will blow it.</p>
