12. I suppose Trump was trying to intentionally echo Dubya's Ground Zero loudspeaker moment....

....with his "What a crowd! What a turnout!" thing, which arguably was the most photogenic spontaneous moment for Dubya in all his eight years as president (nevertheemind that his promise to get Bin Laden was empty and hollow).

Of course, that was after an intentional act of violence and long after the act had ended. Here, it's during a natural disaster and while the disaster is still very much unfolding.

And someone might want to tell him that invoking George W. Bush during a hurricane response probably won't help his image all that much.
