According to the National Hurricane Center: "1,836 fatalities can be attributed to the storm: 1 in Kentucky, 2 each in Alabama, Georgia, and Ohio, 14 in Florida, 238 in Mississippi, and 1,577 in Louisiana." The Bush administration was accused of abandoning primarily black and poor residents of New Orleans in the days following the storm.

Dubya was stupid and incompetent, but I think he genuinely felt bad about the suffering he caused during Katrina.

Fucking Trump not only doesn't care, he sees this as nothing more than an opportunity to stir up his racist base.

Dubya was bumbling and incompetent, but at least he wasn't braggadocios and obsessed with approval ratings throughout it.
