    And what is he supposed to do exactly? Get in a giant mecha and engage the hurricane in fisticuffs? Sacrifice a virgin to appease the angry sky god? What?

    A round or two? Try 229 rounds so far. Trump claimed he would be so busy making America great again that he wouldn't have time for golf. He blasted Obama for playing too much golf, as did most conservatives. And neither he nor any of the rest of you can see your own hypocrisy.

    This isn't about a hard working president taking a break now and then. This is about an incompetent fool who works very little, and spends a lot of time watching TV and playing golf. Or tweeting insults to any and all who don't sing his praises loud enough, or dare to criticize. There are toddlers more emotional mature than Donald Trump.

    On the other hand, when he's on the golf course, he can't destroy much besides a shrub or two.

    Uh ... wrong POTUS or wrong hurricane. Katrina was 2005. Dubya was president.

    In fact, none that were category 3 or higher hit during Obama's presidency.

    Yes, he's an ******* and said something dumb, and has lied his ass off like every other politican. Does that mean you think he should've dropped a nuke?
    Shall he wave his magic wand about and fix it for you?
    Presidents are mostly figureheads when it comes to day to day policies, such as prep for disaster relief. Professionals present them with options and plans, and they pick one. That's the sum total of their constructive involvement in that process. Wanting them to do anything else is wanting a figurehead to look at and revere, not wanting a functional response. In fact the figurehead's personal presence tends to cause such chaos/disruption of normal patterns in the system that any bonus it brings is negated.

    Ain't it the truth? Last week they were worried he was going to nuke the damn thing this week their mad that he's playing a round of golf after having made the necessary preparations and awaiting land fall. You'd think Virginia was on the other side of the country or something.

    Good grief! How does a storm in the Atlantic hit a state over in the Gulf of Mexico? Look at a map, ffs. If Dorian were to hit Alabama, it would have to cross the state of Florida and still be a hurricane. Even a Cat 5 couldn't do that.

    Or to any standard at all. Trump supporters, like Trump himself, have absolutely none at this point.

    Was he not in that famous picture of the situation room, watching that operation along with everyone else? That wasn't a golf course.

    So now the president must stay in the White House while a hurricane hits the Bahamas?

    A British naval ship was sent before all others to the Bahamas. And the great people of south florida spent their monday and tuesday (once they knew they were out of danger) collecting food and water and other needed items for the Bahamas. I know that Trump is not the President of the Bahamas, but when a catastrophic event occurs to one's neighbors, a leader would do all they could to help. Over 60,000 are without food, water or shelter in flooded areas - one just one of the affected islands. Forgive me, but I don't see golf as a priority for a decent leader.

    Right.

    We should sail into and through the hurricane to get there.

    There's a brilliant idea.

    It is not for Trump or the US to lead. Again what was he supposed to be doing? The Coast Guard was already there. Geez the Democrats are complaining he shift FEMA money to the emergency at our own boarders this is a foriegn country where is the UK and Canada and their leaders?
