In a morning tweet, Trump called Cruz “totally incompetent.” She was the local official most vocal about the need for a stronger federal response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, where researchers have estimated that nearly 3,000 additional deaths occurred after the storm. His casual attitude about the deaths of thousands cannot be heartening to people fleeing Hurricane Florence. Trump considers the problem “solved” because if he says it’s solved and/or he has gone for a photo op. More than 3 in 4 say they lost power for at least one hour in the previous month. As the hurricane season gets underway and #HurricaneFlorence is barreling towards the coast, how can ANYONE support this decision?https://t.co/XWVh1Ofb9q — Jeff Merkley (@JeffMerkley) September 12, 2018Make no mistake.
