    I’m not entirely clued in to the situation, but as I walked past a tv yesterday the headline said something like “121 dead in flood, including 24 children. 68 still missing”.

    So…trump is celebrating the death of children and others. There’s no other way to say this. People died, including children, and trump applauded the outcome.

    Or am I missing something? Because I don’t think I am.

      Oh that’s easy. Trump claims that many more would have died if it wasn’t for his “wise” leadership. It doesn’t matter how many die; he can always claim that more would be dead.

        Remember in March 2020 when he said 200k covid deaths would be a huge success, and then we hit that number around September?

        Yeah…

          Was that before or after he said the whole thing would blow over by Easter?

          Was it because people weren’t doing enough bleach enemas?

      no, your not missing anything much. He says it could have been worse so yay, only ~100+ people died. Which even if texas had taken every reasonable precaution, one death would’ve been too many. But of course they didn’t, and trump doesn’t think thats a bad thing, so yes, he’s celebrating the death of hundred(s)
